Kanto Ora Powered Reference Desktop Speakers With Bluetooth Black

Kanto Ora Powered Reference Desktop Speakers With Bluetooth Black

Introducing the Kanto Ora Powered Reference Desktop Speakers with Bluetooth in Black – setting a new standard for reference-grade sound. As Kanto's inaugural active speaker, the ORA boasts a unique blend of cutting-edge technology and superior audio performance. Indulge in a captivating audio experience with individually powered and tuned drivers, ensuring optimal performance.

These bi-amplified speakers redefine audio reproduction, with a 50 W RMS class-D amplifier split into four channels. Each tweeter receives 9 W, while each woofer benefits from 16 W, delivering a balanced and precise sound across the entire frequency range.

Unlike traditional crossovers, ORA utilizes full DSP (digital signal processing) for precise control over frequency ranges, resulting in enhanced clarity and accurate sound reproduction. The 3/4" silk dome tweeters provide smooth and extended treble response, creating an enjoyable and fatigue-free listening experience.

Despite its compact size, the 3" woofers deliver impressive low-end extension, often surprising listeners with rich bass response during pre-production demos. While the option to add a subwoofer exists, the powerful yet compact woofers may make it unnecessary in many setups.

Advanced DSP control extends to the sub-out port, automatically filtering out frequencies below 100 Hz when a subwoofer is connected. This intelligent feature allows the woofers to focus on midrange frequencies, reducing distortion and enhancing precision during loud transients.

Versatility is a hallmark of ORA's design, featuring multiple input options such as RCA, USB-C, and Bluetooth® 5.0, ensuring compatibility with various audio sources. The onboard LED indicators and front-panel volume control offer convenient switching between inputs and effortless adjustment of volume levels.

Convenience and ease of use continue with a front knob that serves multiple functions, enabling input switching, volume adjustment, and easy power control. The rear of the speaker includes a 1/4"-20 hole for wall mounting or compatibility with speaker stands.

Despite being only 25 percent larger than the popular YU2, ORA delivers significantly improved sound performance. Its narrow profile is ideal for placement under a monitor, making it perfect for ultrawide or dual monitor setups where space is limited.

ORA's magnetically-shielded design adds versatility, making it compatible with all gear. Retro gaming enthusiasts will appreciate the magnetic shielding in the woofer design, recreating the authentic retro gaming experience when placed beside a CRT monitor. Embrace a new era of reference-grade sound with the Kanto Ora Powered Reference Desktop Speakers – compact, powerful, and designed for an immersive audio experience.
