Product Details
Kanto Yu6 (2nd Gen) Powered Bookshelf Speakers
The Kanto Yu6 (2nd Gen) is room-filling hi-fi with deeper bass, greater output, and effortless connectivity — available at Vinyl Sound USA. This second generation combines abaca paper cone woofers, USB-C audio, Bluetooth, and a built-in phono preamp in one versatile system, pairing deeper, more confident sound with the simple connections and everyday flexibility that define the Yu family.
Deeper, More Confident Sound
Class-D amplification with DSP delivers 200W peak power (130W RMS), while 5.25" abaca paper cone woofers and 1" silk dome tweeters produce room-filling, naturally detailed sound. A frequency response of 55 Hz–22 kHz reaches lower than the compact Yu4, and an automatic 80 Hz high/low-pass filter keeps things balanced on their own or with a subwoofer.
Connections for Everything
Yu6 (2nd Gen) connects to every source: RCA with a selectable phono switch for a turntable, Optical (TOSLINK) and USB-C at 24-bit/96kHz, Bluetooth 5.3 (SBC, AAC), and a 3.5mm AUX input. A subwoofer output with automatic high/low-pass filtering makes adding bass simple, and a USB-C charge port (5V, 1.5A) tops up your devices.
Built for Flexible Setup
With a built-in phono preamp, there's no need for a separate phono stage to connect a turntable. The speakers feature swappable left/right channels, a ¼"-20 threaded bottom mounting hole for stands and mounts, and an included infrared remote, speaker wire, and cables so you're ready to listen out of the box.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the Kanto Yu6 (2nd Gen)?
A: It's a pair of powered bookshelf speakers with built-in Class-D amplification (200W peak), 5.25" abaca paper woofers, 1" silk dome tweeters, a built-in phono preamp, USB-C, and Bluetooth 5.3 — an all-in-one active stereo system.
Q: Should I choose the Yu6 or the smaller Yu4?
A: The Yu6 steps up with larger 5.25" woofers, 200W peak power, and deeper 55 Hz bass extension for bigger rooms and more output, while the compact Yu4 (160W, 4" woofers) suits smaller spaces and desktops. Both share the same inputs and built-in phono preamp.
Q: Can I connect a turntable without a separate preamp?
A: Yes. The RCA input has a selectable phono switch with a built-in phono preamp, so you can connect a turntable directly (switch to line level for other sources).
Q: Can I add a subwoofer?
A: Yes. A dedicated subwoofer output with automatic high/low-pass filtering (80 Hz) lets you add a sub while keeping the main speakers balanced.
Q: What digital inputs does it support?
A: Optical (TOSLINK) and USB-C at 24-bit/96kHz, plus Bluetooth 5.3 (SBC, AAC) and a 3.5mm AUX input.
Q: Are they sold as a pair?
A: Yes. The Yu6 (2nd Gen) is sold as a pair, including both the active and passive speaker, with an IR remote, speaker wire, and cables in the box.
