Kanto Audio YU6 2nd Generation 200W Active Speakers

Meet the YU6 2nd Generation Powered Bookshelf Speakers

With Bluetooth 5.3, Built-in Phono Preamp, USB-C and Optical Inputs

The Second-Generation Kanto YU6 takes room-filling sound to the next level.

Redesigned drivers and advanced DSP tuning deliver greater clarity, improved balance and deeper, more controlled bass, making YU6 an impressive all-in-one audio solution for larger living spaces.

Whether you're spinning vinyl, streaming your favourite playlists, connecting to your TV or building out a home entertainment system, Kanto YU6 2G makes it easy to enjoy powerful, high-fidelity sound without the need for a separate amplifier.

Powerful, Detailed Sound

A built-in Class D amplifier delivers 130W RMS (200W peak) of total power, providing plenty of headroom for immersive listening.

1-inch silk dome tweeters produce crisp, open highs, while newly engineered 5.25-inch Abaca-reinforced woofersdeliver smooth, controlled low frequencies down to 55Hz. Advanced DSP tuning brings everything together for a balanced, detailed sound signature across music, movies and more.

Connect Your Entire Setup

YU6 is designed to become the audio hub of your space. Bluetooth 5.3 makes wireless streaming simple, while USB-C audio up to 24-bit/96kHz provides a high-quality digital connection for compatible devices.

An optical input makes YU6 ideal for upgrading your TV sound, while RCA connectivity with a selectable built-in phono preamp lets you connect a compatible turntable directly—no separate phono preamp required.

A dedicated subwoofer output also makes it easy to add extra low-end impact when you want it.

Designed for Modern Spaces

With its clean silhouette, refined detailing and acoustic-grade MDF cabinets, YU6 combines contemporary design with serious audio performance. Rear bass ports help produce a fuller low-frequency response, while intuitive controls and auto-standby make everyday listening effortless.
