- Hi, Jeff here from Kanto.
Today I'm going to tell you about
one of the most versatile powered speakers we offer.
The speaker's name is Tuk
and while Tuk maybe sized to fit on a desktop,
it's sound will make you think you're listening to
a full range set of towered speakers.
It's power and imaging are what you expect
from speakers costing hundreds of dollars more.
And while Tuk may sound big,
it's sleek design is meant to compliment nearly any decor.
Tuk arrives packaged with nearly
everything you need to get started.
Kanto includes a wide variety of cables
for convenient connection to a variety of sources.
A 3.5 millimeter to RCA cable is a simple solution
for connecting Tuk with any devices headphone jack.
And there's a USB cable that makes it easy to play audio
from any laptop or PC.
Tuk comes equipped with high grade 16 gauge speaker wire
with banana plugs for a quick and solid connection.
Even the remote control is a standout.
The remote included with Tuk gives you full control
of your audio in the palm of your hand.
It even allows you to set a different EQ preference
per input, for perfectly tailored sound,
no matter the device.
If you prefer your speakers to be heard, not seen,
Kanto has you covered with magnetic fabric grills
that easily snap on and off the front of the speakers,
but we won't blame you if you don't use them.

- The exterior of Tuk is sleek and attractive,
but inside, Tuk is a marvel of modern audio,
with technical engineering that stands out in a crowd.
One of the most important ingredients in Tuk
is the air motion transformer or AMT for short.
The AMT tweeter's lightweight construction
improves efficiency with no added distortion,
resulting in increased accuracy in the higher frequencies.
Dialogue, vocals, acoustic and brass instruments
are represented just as the artist intended.
Tuk is no slouch when it comes to bass either,
delivering low end you'd expect from much larger drivers.
Kanto accomplish this feat through the development of
high-performance aluminum woofers
that deliver deep, tactile bass
without the need for an external subwoofer.
Percussion, instrumentation and special effects
come to life with Tuk.
But if you're someone who can't get enough bass,
Kanto has you covered here too.
An active crossover mutes all frequencies below 80 Hertz,
sending them straight to the connected subwoofer.
To enable the crossover,
simply hold down the sub button on the remote.
Tuk creates an immersive sound stage with strong
and consistent output, thanks to the internal powerhouse,
130 watt class D amp,
Tuk fills a room with beautiful audio
without breaking a sweat.
Kanto is famous for designing products
that pack a lot of technology into our speakers.
In Tuk's case, we include
onboard advanced digital signal processing
for the perfect listening experience in nearly any room.
Digging deeper into the software,
Tuk features Bluetooth to allow
high quality wireless streaming.
Tuk supports AAC, APTX, and APTX HD audio codecs,
allowing you to enjoy maximum clarity, sonic detail
when streaming from your iOS or other devices.
For music lovers who enjoy high res audio,
Tuk's USB and optical input support stereo signals
up to 24 bit and 96 kilohertz,
making it the perfect choice when listening to
any of the latest crop of high res streaming services
from your PC or TV.
There's even a dedicated phono input
and integrated phono stage for vinyl lovers,
looking for a simple yet brilliant speaker system
for any turntable on the market.
And Tuk is the only speaker in it's class
to include a front mounted 3.5 millimeter headphone jack
for private listening.
As more music and movie fans
adopt voice controlled systems throughout the home,
Tuk is fully compatible with the most popular offerings,
including Google Home and Amazon Echo.
Imagine the convenience and utter pleasure
of streaming music, podcasts and more
through one of the most advanced
powered speakers on the market,
controlled entirely with your voice.
Smart home devices sync with Tuk through Bluetooth,
which wakes up Tuk, even when it's in standby.
For an always on listening experience that works in tandem
with your voice controlled personal system,
just disable the standby mode entirely.
Kanto believes that righties and lefties
deserves equal treatment.
No matter which side you may want or need
the active speaker to sit at,
you can set the left and right channel with the remote.
This gives you full control of your speakers and set up.
Rounding out the package is an adjustable LED
that lets you adjust the brightness
or turn it off completely, according to your preference.
(light upbeat music)
With all that Tuk has going for it,
you can imagine how it fits nearly in any situation
that calls for a world-class, unobtrusive speaker.
No matter the application,
Tuk lets you enjoy exceptional audio.
But where to tuck it?
Tuk is equally at home in a two channel desktop audio rig
as it is in the front channels of a home theater system.
On a desktop, Tuk turns workstations
into full range stereos.
Games come to life,
bringing out the best in game soundtracks
and desktops are a great place
to place a new turntable within arm's reach.
Connect Tuk and you're ready to spin your favorite vinyl.
In a home theater system,
Tuk connects to the output of a TV or streamer
for a full range cinematic experience.
- If you notice Tuk does an awful lot
for a speaker at its price,
you aren't the only one.
Tuk has received a long list of positive reviews
and awards and for good reason.
Tuk is the most well thought out, intuitive, best sounding
and best looking powered bookshelf speaker at any price.
