Kanto TUK Gen 2 Powered Bookshelf Speakers
Enjoy detailed, balanced audio with the Kanto TUK Gen 2 Powered Bookshelf Speakers. Designed for listeners who appreciate high-quality sound and practical everyday functionality, this second-generation model combines refined acoustic engineering with a modern, versatile design. Its redesigned, rear-ported cabinet provides increased internal volume, creating a more stable foundation for the speaker drivers and helping deliver controlled, well-defined bass.
Each speaker features a 5.25-inch aluminium concave woofer for accurate low-frequency reproduction, paired with a 28 x 35mm Air Motion Transformer (AMT) tweeter that brings clarity and precision to higher frequencies. Updated DSP processing and a refined two-way crossover help maintain a natural, balanced sound across different listening levels.
With 130W total RMS power and 260W peak output from its integrated Class D amplifier, the TUK Gen 2 offers plenty of performance without requiring a separate amplifier. Bluetooth 5.4, USB-C, optical and dual RCA inputs make it easy to connect everything from smartphones and computers to compatible traditional audio equipment.
Refined Acoustic Performance
Kanto has redesigned the TUK cabinet to provide greater internal volume, helping create a more stable acoustic platform. The 5.25-inch aluminium concave woofers deliver controlled bass, while the fast-response AMT tweeters reproduce high frequencies with impressive detail.
Updated digital signal processing (DSP) and crossover tuning help maintain a neutral, consistent presentation, allowing music to sound natural and balanced. With a frequency response of 50Hz–22kHz and a 2.7kHz crossover frequency, the two-way speaker system is engineered to deliver a cohesive listening experience.
Integrated Class D Amplification
The built-in Class D amplifier delivers 130W RMS total power and up to 260W peak output. This powered design removes the need for a separate stereo amplifier, making the TUK Gen 2 a convenient option for creating a high-quality home audio system.
The speakers feature a 4-ohm nominal impedance and 950mV input sensitivity. Their active-to-passive connection uses knurled five-way binding posts for a secure connection between the two cabinets.
Flexible Wired and Wireless Connectivity
Connect a wide range of audio sources using the TUK Gen 2's comprehensive selection of inputs. Bluetooth 5.4 with aptX Adaptive, AAC and SBC codec support provides convenient wireless music streaming from compatible devices.
For digital connections, the USB-C and optical TOSLINK inputs both support audio resolutions up to 24-bit/96kHz. Two RCA line-level inputs provide additional flexibility for connecting compatible audio components and equipment.
A dedicated subwoofer output also allows you to expand your system with an external subwoofer. The integrated filtering manages the low-frequency signal, with a selectable setting that sends frequencies of 80Hz and below to the connected subwoofer.
Contemporary Design and Everyday Convenience
The redesigned cabinet features sharper geometry and more defined lines, giving the TUK Gen 2 a distinctive appearance while helping reduce unwanted edge diffraction. Its acoustic-grade MDF construction and rear-ported design combine practical engineering with a refined finish.
Everyday operation is made simple with the included remote control, which also allows you to swap the left and right speaker channels. Additional features include automatic standby, a 5V/2A USB charging port and a standard 1/4"-20 threaded mounting point on the underside.
