You know that feeling when you stumble upon a piece of gear that just might redefine your desktop setup? Well, Kanto Audio's latest reveal at CES has us buzzing. They've just unveiled the UKI, a compact two-way active loudspeaker that's piqued our interest.
Measuring a mere 16.5cm in height and 11cm in width, the UKI is designed for those tight on space but unwilling to compromise on sound quality. The cabinet sports a sleek, curved design, deliberately avoiding right angles and sharp edges, which not only looks modern but might also aid in reducing resonance and diffraction.
Under the hood, the UKI features a 6.35mm silk dome tweeter paired with a 7.6cm concave cone midrange/woofer. While Kanto hasn't spilled the beans on the amplifier's power output yet, given their track record, we're expecting it to be well-matched to the drivers and cabinet size.
