— TUK is Kanto’s premium top of the line powered speaker system —
COQUITLAM, BC, CANADA, September 6, 2019 – Kanto today announced it is now shipping its TUK high-performance powered stereo speaker system with wireless capability. TUK is the most advanced speaker system ever offered by Kanto and combines exceptional sound with flexible connection options and remote-control operation.
TUK is on exhibit at Rocky Mountain Audio Fest (RMAF) 2019 in Aurora, CO at the Gaylord Rockies Resort and Convention Center, Aurora, CO, (September 6 – 8, 2019).
At RMAF 2019 Kanto is also debuting its popular YU6 powered speaker system in a stunning new walnut finish. The YU6 Walnut ($429.99) offers remote control operation and accommodates a wide range of wireless and wired music sources including phono.
Designed for true high-end powered speaker performance, TUK provides high-quality wireless Bluetooth music streaming with Qualcomm® aptX™ HD and AAC, plus analog and digital audio inputs. In addition, TUK has a phono preamp and phono input to use with a turntable. TUK is especially suited for nearfield and desktop listening, with features including a built-in headphone amp and a USB DAC.
“We created TUK as an easy to use, compact speaker system that lets listeners step up to high-quality sound on a level that is usually heard from audio separates,” said Brett Smalley, Kanto Marketing Manager.
TUK features a newly-designed 28 x 35 mm Air Motion Transformer (AMT) tweeter, which employs a pleated low-mass diaphragm that pushes back and forth on itself to move air. This configuration delivers superlative high-frequency resolution, clarity and transient response.
The AMT tweeter is complemented by an aluminum concave-cone woofer and a powerful 65 watt-per-channel stereo amplifier. The amplifier is designed to perfectly match the drivers for a smooth tonal balance.
In addition to Bluetooth capability, TUK includes analog line inputs, an optical digital input, a USB DAC input and an RCA phono input. TUK provides a 3.5 mm headphone output, a subwoofer output with selectable high-pass filter and a handy USB charging output.
TUK has an elegant, minimalist design and is available in matte black and matte white to complement any living or office space. It comes with a remote control, magnetic detachable fabric grille, speaker wire, power cord, 3.5 mm to RCA cable and a USB DAC cable.
Kanto’s TUK is available at MAP pricing of $799 US, $999 Canadian.
