Kanto YU6 Gen 2 Powered Bookshelf Speakers Pair – Matte Black

Bring powerful, room-filling sound to your home with the Kanto YU6 Gen 2 Powered Bookshelf Speakers. Designed for larger listening spaces, this second-generation stereo system combines upgraded speaker drivers, refined DSP tuning and integrated Class-D amplification to deliver clear detail, controlled bass and an engaging, balanced sound. Whether you enjoy streaming music, playing vinyl records, watching films or gaming, the YU6 Gen 2 offers the flexibility to become the centre of your home audio setup.

Each speaker features a 1-inch silk dome tweeter for smooth, detailed high frequencies and a 5.25-inch abaca-reinforced paper cone woofer for natural midrange reproduction and deeper bass. With 130W total RMS power and 200W peak output, the system provides plenty of power for dynamic listening, while its frequency response reaches down to 55Hz.

Bluetooth 5.3, USB-C, optical and analogue connections make it easy to connect a variety of devices. A selectable built-in phono preamp also allows you to connect a compatible turntable directly, making the YU6 Gen 2 a versatile solution for both modern and traditional audio equipment.

Enhanced Audio Performance for Larger Spaces

The Kanto YU6 Gen 2 has been developed to deliver greater scale and improved acoustic performance. Re-engineered drivers, updated digital signal processing (DSP) and a redesigned amplifier platform work together to produce a more refined and balanced sound.

The 1-inch silk dome tweeters reproduce high frequencies with clarity and precision, helping vocals and instruments sound detailed without becoming harsh. The larger 5.25-inch abaca-reinforced paper cone woofers deliver deeper bass and natural midrange performance, creating an enjoyable listening experience across different types of music and entertainment.

With a frequency response of 55Hz–22kHz, the YU6 Gen 2 offers impressive low-frequency extension for a bookshelf speaker system, making it particularly suitable for larger rooms and more immersive listening.

Powerful Integrated Class-D Amplification

Featuring a built-in Class-D amplifier, the YU6 Gen 2 delivers 130W RMS and up to 200W peak power. This provides the performance needed for lively, dynamic playback without requiring a separate amplifier, helping keep your home audio setup simple.

The speakers feature a nominal impedance of 4 ohms and a 650mV input sensitivity. Their larger acoustic-grade MDF cabinets provide a solid enclosure for the drivers, while the rear-ported construction supports bass performance.

Extensive Connectivity for Modern and Traditional Sources

The Kanto YU6 Gen 2 offers a comprehensive selection of connections for different listening requirements. Bluetooth 5.3 with AAC and SBC codec support allows you to stream music wirelessly from compatible smartphones, tablets and computers.

For high-resolution digital playback, the USB-C and optical inputs both support audio up to 24-bit/96kHz. A 3.5mm auxiliary input provides another convenient option for connecting compatible portable devices.

Vinyl enthusiasts can connect a compatible turntable through the RCA input using the selectable integrated phono preamp, removing the need for a separate phono stage. The dedicated subwoofer output also makes it easy to add an external subwoofer for greater bass impact.

When a subwoofer is connected, the YU6 Gen 2 automatically applies an 80Hz high-pass filter to the speakers. This helps reduce the demands on the woofers at lower frequencies, allowing them to concentrate on midrange and high-frequency reproduction.

Refined Cabinet Design and Flexible Placement

The YU6 Gen 2 combines a straightforward silhouette with carefully considered detailing. Its rigid MDF cabinets are designed to minimise unwanted resonance, while seamless silicone trim rings provide a clean appearance and help reduce diffraction around the drivers.

The larger cabinet volume provides additional acoustic space for improved performance, while the rear-ported design supports low-frequency reproduction. Integrated 1/4"-20 threaded mounting points offer further installation flexibility, making the speakers suitable for shelves, stands and media furniture.

Convenient Remote Control

The supplied remote control gives you convenient access to everyday speaker functions from your listening position. Adjust the volume, manage playback, switch between connected sources and independently fine-tune bass and treble levels to suit your preferences.

The left and right speaker channels can also be swapped using the rear switch, giving you greater flexibility when arranging your system. Automatic standby helps reduce unnecessary power consumption when the speakers are not being used.
