Kanto Audio has officially launched its long-awaited REN speaker system in the UK, exclusively available at Peter Tyson. This innovative speaker system promises to deliver an unparalleled audio experience, seamlessly integrating modern connectivity with high-fidelity sound.
Designed to fill any room with rich sound, the REN speaker system stands out with its straightforward connectivity options. It supports Bluetooth 5.3 and HDMI ARC, making it easy to connect a turntable, TV, or smartphone. In addition, USB-C and optical connections ensure that users can enjoy studio-quality high-resolution audio at 24-bit/192kHz right out of the box.
The integration of HDMI ARC (Consumer Electronics Control) allows the REN speakers to sync with your TV or gaming console, providing a true stereo alternative to traditional soundbars. This feature enhances the enjoyment of movies and video games, creating an immersive listening experience. For those with larger rooms, Kanto offers the option to enhance sound further by adding the Kanto SUB8 subwoofer.
“We are really excited to launch our latest active stereo speaker system, REN — our first product to feature support for HDMI ARC. We’re confident REN delivers a truly immersive audio experience, combining the superior sound quality our customers expect from Kanto Audio, together with seamless connectivity,” stated Brett Smalley of Kanto Audio.
Thomas Graham, Head of Category – Audio at Peter Tyson, echoed this excitement: “Peter Tyson are proud to represent Kanto in the UK, and we are nothing short of thrilled to be retailing their latest model. REN continues to up the game in the desktop speaker space and now further afield, providing a solution that blends your TV and music listening via HDMI ARC.”
