What customers say
The Kanto TUK speakers are celebrated as a premium, all-in-one audio solution. The core strength lies in the exceptional clarity delivered by the Air Motion Transformer tweeters, providing detailed and airy highs across all music genres. Users highly value the remarkable versatility offered by the comprehensive inputs, including USB-C and a dedicated phono stage, making them a modern audio hub. While the sound quality is pristine, some note the bass lacks deep rumble, suggesting a subwoofer pairing. Overall, the integrated amplifier, DAC, and sleek design justify the cost, delivering high fidelity in a user-friendly package.
Know before you buy
Yes, the TUK features a built-in phono pre-amp. You can plug your turntable directly into the RCA inputs without needing an external pre-amplifier.
No, the TUK is a powered speaker system with an integrated 140W Class D amplifier. You only need to connect your audio sources and power the speakers to start listening.
The built-in USB DAC bypasses your computer's internal sound card, processing digital audio files directly for higher fidelity and reduced interference. This results in a cleaner, more detailed sound when playing music from your PC or Mac.
Yes, the speakers include a dedicated subwoofer output. If you want to extend the low-end frequency response beyond what the 5.25-inch woofers provide, you can easily connect an active subwoofer.
The TUK uses Bluetooth 4.2 with aptX HD support. This codec allows for high-resolution wireless streaming that is significantly better than standard Bluetooth, provided your source device also supports aptX HD.
With dimensions of 10.1 inches high and 6.5 inches wide, they are compact enough for most desktop environments. However, ensure you have enough clearance for the rear-facing ports to maintain optimal sound quality.
