Kanto's YU4 Active Speakers: A Better Desktop Audio Experience

Michael DeStefano January 14, 2018

As a photographer, I spend a lot of time sitting at my desk, both producing and consuming content. I have a supportive chair, high-end monitors, and all sorts of peripherals cluttering up my desk. All to make that time easier, comfortable, and more productive. One area a lot of people either don't think about or just skip is speakers. Whether you are listening to music while you work or editing your next big video project, quality speakers will improve the experience and quality of that work. In an attempt to improve the audio experience at my desktop I tried out a midsize set of speakers made by the Canadian company Kanto. The Kanto YU4 speakers are a reasonable size with a built-in amplifier making them perfect for desktop use.

Oasis in the desert. After a 15 min downpour the desert came alive like nothing I'd seen before. Pockets of water like this are a gathering point and help to sustain the local wildlife. #Hiking #camping #climbing #adventure #adven
Boston is starting to come alive again as spring slowly shows itself. Longer evenings means better photo opportunities as the Charles River area becomes more active.

Shot on the new Leica SL2. Really happy with the level of detail the new sensor can capture and of course that Leica feel.
