Kanto SU2 Rear-Mounted Desktop Stands for Uki and Ora (Pair)

Kanto SU2 Rear-Mounted Desktop Stands for Uki and Ora (Pair)

The Kanto SU2 is a pair of rear-mounted desktop speaker stands designed exclusively for the Kanto Ora and Uki compact powered speakers. It attaches via a 1/4-20 rear-mount connection to angle each speaker upward at a fixed 13-degree tilt, directing the tweeter more accurately toward seated ear level for near-field desktop listening. Silicone pads reduce vibration for cleaner sound, the rear-mount design leaves all rear-panel inputs fully accessible, and each stand supports up to 3.1 lbs, sized precisely for the Ora and Uki. Built from steel in black to match both models. Available now at Vinyl Sound.

Rear-mount design and unobstructed input access

The SU2 attaches to the rear panel of the Ora and Uki via the 1/4-20 threaded mounting point rather than supporting the speaker from beneath. This solves a common desktop-stand problem: on a base-contact stand, the rear inputs are often partly obstructed by the stand edge or the desk behind it, making cable insertion awkward. By mounting from the rear, the SU2 keeps the speaker elevated and tilted forward while leaving the full rear-panel input array, power, USB, optical, RCA, and any other rear-facing connections, completely accessible, a real advantage when cables are swapped often.

13-degree upward tilt and vibration reduction

The SU2 holds the Ora and Uki at a fixed 13-degree upward tilt, steeper than the 6-degree tilt of the SE-series, reflecting the lower placement height of these smaller speakers on a desk. At closer near-field distances, a more aggressive tilt is needed to direct the tweeter toward the ears rather than the chest or chin. The 13-degree angle is calibrated for the Ora and Uki driver geometry and typical desk height for correct on-axis alignment with no adjustment. Silicone pads on the contact surfaces reduce vibration transfer between speaker and desk, keeping resonance low.

Frequently asked questions

What are the Kanto SU2 desktop speaker stands?
The Kanto SU2 are a pair of rear-mounted desktop speaker stands built from steel, designed exclusively for the Kanto Ora and Uki compact powered speakers. They attach to each speaker's rear-panel 1/4-20 thread, angle it upward at a fixed 13-degree tilt toward seated ear level, and use silicone contact pads to reduce vibration. Each stand supports up to 3.1 lbs.

What is the difference between the Kanto SU2 and the Kanto SE2?
Both elevate and tilt compact Kanto speakers, but with different attachment methods for different models. The SE2 is a base-contact platform for the Kanto YU2, raising it from beneath at 6 degrees on a 3.1 x 4.7-inch surface. The SU2 mounts from the rear via the 1/4-20 thread of the Ora and Uki, applying a steeper 13-degree tilt calibrated for their near-field placement and keeping all rear inputs unobstructed. The two are not interchangeable.

Why does the SU2 use a 13-degree tilt instead of 6 degrees?
The 13-degree tilt is calibrated for the Ora and Uki geometry and their typical near-field desk height. Smaller, lower-profile speakers sit closer to the desk, placing the tweeter further below ear level relative to the listening distance, so a steeper tilt is needed to redirect the dispersion axis toward the ears, achieving the same on-axis alignment a shallower 6-degree tilt gives taller speakers at greater distances.

Does the rear-mount design block any of the speaker's inputs?
No. The SU2's 1/4-20 thread engages a dedicated mounting point on the rear panel rather than covering the connectors, so power, USB, optical, RCA, and any other rear-facing connections stay fully usable with the stand fitted. That is one of the main advantages of the rear-mount approach over base-contact stands.

Can the SU2 be used with speakers other than the Ora and Uki?
The SU2 is designed and dimensioned exclusively for the Kanto Ora and Uki. Its 3.1 lb capacity, 13-degree tilt geometry, and dimensions are calibrated around those two models. While the 1/4-20 rear-mount thread is a common standard, using the SU2 outside its rated capacity or with significantly different weight distributions is not recommended and may compromise stability.

Do the silicone pads protect the desk surface?
Yes. The silicone pads are non-marking on wood, laminate, glass, and other common finishes, and grip to keep the lightweight stand from shifting during playback. The same pads reduce vibration transfer between speaker and desk, keeping resonance low and preserving the clarity of the Ora and Uki during long listening sessions.
