Item Description
Proudly designed in Canada, the YU2 desktop mini-monitor will make you believe that big sound can come in a small package. With its built-in soundcard, it can stream high-quality audio directly from your computer\'s USB port, or connect directly to any 3.5mm AUX jack for maximum input flexibility. If deep bass is your thing, simply connect a subwoofer to the SUB OUT port and revel in pure low-end bliss.
Sold as a pair.
Design
The Kanto YU2 is the smallest speaker in the family of compact YU speakers. The YU2 uses a 3” composite material woofer and a ¾” silk dome tweeter. The YU2 is available in a variety of colors, including bamboo, gloss black, gloss white, matte black, and finally matte white. We don\'t think you will have any trouble finding one that fits your style!
Features & Technology
The YU2 makes a perfect desktop speaker. On the back, you\'ll find a mini-plug aux input, and a USB input to handle the USB out from a computer or laptop. It comes with the cables and speaker wire, so setup is a breeze.
This has a small DAC (digital to analog) converter built-in, which converts the signal to analog and passes it directly onto the built-in amp. This is a very clean and simple signal path.
If you are unfamiliar with connecting up via USB, it is a great way to port sound from your computer to an audio system. Your computer will send a pure digital signal out of its USB connection, while the other end plugs into the back of the Kanto YU2.
Performance
Standing alone, the YU2 produces a very nice warm sound, but as you would expect, due to the small size, it is lacking in bass. Luckily, the YU2 has a subwoofer out, allowing you to add one of the Kanto subwoofers (the SUB6 is only $249) to fill out the bottom end.
If you plop these on your desk as an upgrade to your built-in computer speakers or something from a big box store, however, you should undoubtedly notice a huge improvement -- even without the sub.
All and all, for a little over $200 a pair, this is a great little speaker value to improve your computer sound or to connect up to a turntable with a phono stage built-in.
- Silk Dome Tweeters
YU2 features 3/4\" silk dome tweeters to deliver clear crisp highs.
- Composite Drivers
The 3\" composite drivers provide distortion-free, mid-range and bass tones - surprising performance for such a small speaker.
- Inputs & Outputs
Use the AUX input with the included Kanto 3.5mm cable to connect any device with a headphone jack to your YU2. Lighten the load on your computer\'s CPU by connecting directly to YU2\'s built-in DAC via a USB cable for a fully digital, high-quality audio connection. If you want a little more kick, connect a powered subwoofer to the SUB OUT port.
- Rear Bass Port
YU2 has a rear bass port that has been carefully designed and tuned to eliminate port turbulence while extending bass response.
- Knurled Binding Posts
The speaker connection from left to right uses high-quality knurled binding posts. This standardized wiring system allows you to trim the included premium speaker wire to the desired length or purchase longer lengths for more versatility.
- Accessible Volume Knob
Tucked neatly out of the way at the top of your active speaker, the smoothly rotating knob doubles as a power switch.
