Know before you buy
Yes, the speaker terminals on the Uniti Qute are designed for 4mm banana plugs. You will need to ensure your speaker cables are terminated with these plugs for a secure connection.
The Uniti Qute features built-in Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity, allowing you to stream music via UPnP from your network-attached storage or computer. For direct playback from a mobile device, you can also utilize the front-panel USB port or the mini AUX input.
While 30 watts per channel is compact, the Uniti Qute is engineered for high-fidelity performance and handles most bookshelf or high-sensitivity floorstanding speakers with ease. It is best suited for smaller to medium-sized rooms where its refined sound and bass control can truly shine.
Yes, the unit includes an analog RCA input. However, please note that it does not feature a built-in phono stage, so you will need to use a turntable with a built-in preamp or connect an external phono stage between your turntable and the unit.
Yes, there is a dedicated headphone output located on the front panel. It is designed to provide the same high-fidelity audio quality as the main speaker outputs.
The system is highly versatile, offering two RCA digital inputs and two optical inputs. This allows you to connect a variety of digital sources such as CD players, game consoles, or television audio directly into the high-quality internal DAC.
