Features

Two-Way Driver Design: The Kanto YU Passive 5.25" (YUP6) bookshelf loudspeaker features a two-way driver design with a 1" silk dome tweeter and 5.25" kevlar cone woofer for clear high and detailed midrange/midbass frequencies.

• 1" Silk Dome Tweeter: The 1" tweeter is made from silk to deliver a high-frequency range that's bright and refined. The tweeter's dome shape improves sound dispersion to ensure your ears capture every sound, regardless of where you are in the room.
• 5.25" Kevlar Cone Woofer: The 5.25" woofer cone is made of a kevlar material and features a rubber surround for long-lasting performance. The woofer provides surprisingly controlled and accurate low frequency response.

Bass Reflex Cabinet: The Kanto YU Passive 5.25" (YUP6) bookshelf loudspeaker utilizes a bass reflex enclosure design with a rear-firing port for greater efficiency and bigger bass response. The speaker cabinet is available in black or white vinyl finish.

Mounting & Placement Options: The YU Passive 5.25" (YUP6) loudspeaker is designed for either bookshelf or stand mounting (see Accessories Tab for desktop and floor stands - sold separately). The speaker comes with self-adhesive rubber feet to protect your furniture (the feet add approximately 0.125" to the overall height of the speaker). The space between a pair of YU Passive 5.25" (YUP6) speakers and the distance from the listener is important. If the speakers are positioned too close or too far apart, stereo imaging will not be fully developed. Room characteristics and positioning also have a profound effect on the performance of the speakers, so time and effort devoted to achieving the optimum positions will be rewarded.

• The YU Passive 5.25" (YUP6) is designed to perform optimally at ear level and positioned at least 8" from the rear wall in an average listening room. However, it may not be possible to install the speakers in this position since rooms vary in shape, size, and furnishing. A certain amount of experimentation may be necessary to determine the most suitable position.
• Moving the speakers very close to the rear wall will enhance the bass frequencies, but will tend to reduce soundstage depth, while moving the speakers away from the rear wall will tend to have the opposite effect. Avoid positioning the speakers close to or in the corners of the room, as this will excite undesirable room coupling in the low and middle frequencies. If the width of the rear wall is limited then toe-in the speakers slightly to reduce reflections.

Binding Post Terminals: The Kanto YU Passive 5.25" (YUP6) is outfitted with a set of binding post terminals that will accept bare wire (up to 12AWG), pin-connectors, spade-lugs, and banana plugs (single or dual). The binding posts are gold-plated for excellent signal transfer and resistance to corrosion.
