Frequently Asked Questions
What are powered speakers, and how are they different from passive speakers?
Powered, or active, speakers have the amplifier built in, so they do not need a separate amplifier or receiver. Passive speakers require an external amplifier to drive them. Kanto makes both, including active models like the YU4, YU6, TUK, and REN, and passive options like the YU Passive 4-inch and 5.25-inch bookshelf speakers, available at Vinyl Sound USA in Buffalo, NY.
Do I need a separate amplifier or phono preamp with Kanto powered speakers?
No. Kanto active speakers are complete, self-contained systems with amplification built in. Several models, including the YU4, YU6, and TUK, also include a built-in phono preamp, so you can connect a turntable directly without an external phono stage. If you are not sure how to connect your gear, Vinyl Sound USA can help.
Can I connect a turntable to Kanto speakers?
Yes. The Kanto YU4, YU6, and TUK have a built-in phono preamp, so you can plug a turntable straight in and start playing records. Kanto also offers the OBI3 turntable with a built-in phono preamp, so you can build a simple, complete vinyl system. Our team at Vinyl Sound USA can recommend a pairing.
What type of amplification do Kanto speakers use?
Kanto powered speakers use built-in Class D amplification, which is efficient, runs cool, and delivers strong power in a compact design. This lets Kanto build complete active speakers that fit desktops and living rooms alike. You can hear the range at Vinyl Sound USA in Buffalo, NY.
Which Kanto powered speaker should I choose?
It depends on your space and how you listen. The ORA and ORA4 are compact reference desktop speakers, the YU4 and YU6 suit desktop and small room stereo with a built-in phono preamp, and the TUK flagship adds an AMT tweeter, a moving magnet phono stage, and balanced XLR inputs. Tell Vinyl Sound USA about your room and sources and we will help you choose.
Which Kanto speaker is best for TV and music?
The Kanto REN adds HDMI ARC connectivity, so it can serve as a soundbar replacement for your television while also working as a high-performance stereo music system. It is a good choice if you want one set of speakers for both TV and music. Our team can show you how it connects to your setup.
Can I add a subwoofer to Kanto speakers?
Yes. Kanto offers the SUB6 and SUB8 sealed powered subwoofers, which pair with models like the YU6 and TUK to extend low bass for a complete 2.1 system. A sealed subwoofer is known for tight, controlled bass. Vinyl Sound USA can help you match a subwoofer to your speakers.
Do Kanto speakers work on a desk, and are there stands?
Yes. Compact models like the ORA, ORA4, YU2, and YU4 are well suited to desktop and near-field listening. Kanto also makes accessories such as the S2 desktop speaker stands, which angle the speakers toward your ears for better sound on a desk. This helps you get the most from a compact setup.
Can I stream wirelessly to Kanto speakers?
Yes. Kanto powered speakers include Bluetooth, so you can stream from services like Spotify, Tidal, and Apple Music from your phone or computer, with higher-quality Bluetooth codecs on models like the YU6 and TUK. This gives you instant wireless playback alongside wired sources like a turntable.
