Kanto REN 200W Powered Bookshelf Speakers with HDMI ARC, USB-C, and Bluetooth 5.3 – Matte Black, Pair – Blending the simplicity of a soundbar with the precision of a DSP-controlled stereo system, REN seamlessly connects to any modern TV via HDMI ARC, delivering a home theatre experience in a sleek, all-in-one setup. It eliminates the common frustration of muffled dialogue and overpowering sound effects with two specialised modes—enhancing vocals for clarity and reducing bass for late-night viewing. When paired with a subwoofer, REN intelligently filters out sub-bass from its 5.25” aluminium woofers, allowing them to focus on midrange frequencies with minimal distortion. Beyond the living room, REN’s versatility shines with Bluetooth 5.3 for smart home integration, optical input for WiFi streamers, USB-C for desktops, and analog inputs for ultimate compatibility.
Key Features:
-Seamless TV Integration – With HDMI ARC and CEC support, REN functions like a high-end AV receiver or soundbar. It powers on with your TV and responds to your TV remote, eliminating the need for extra remotes or bulky equipment.
-True Stereo Sound – Unlike soundbars that rely on digital tricks to create a wider soundstage, REN delivers real stereo separation. Position the speakers as far apart as you like for pinpoint accuracy and immersive audio.
-Vocal Boost & Night Mode – DSP control allows REN to enhance dialogue clarity with Vocal Boost and soften loud effects with Night Mode, ensuring you never miss a word or disrupt others while watching at night.
-Smart Bass Management – Plug in a subwoofer, and REN automatically redirects low frequencies (below 80 Hz) to the sub, reducing distortion and optimizing speaker performance. Expand your setup effortlessly for even richer sound.
-Optimised for Streaming – REN’s rear USB charge port powers network streamers or smart home devices with no extra cables. Enable continuous power mode for instant, delay-free casting.
-Ultimate Connectivity – With nearly every input covered—USB-C for desktops, Bluetooth 5.3 for mobile devices, optical for digital sources, plus RCA and AUX for analog gear—REN works with any setup, past, present, or future.
-Full Control at Your Fingertips – REN’s remote allows you to swap left/right channels, disable auto power-down, adjust LED brightness, mute the sub, control Bluetooth or USB playback, and fine-tune bass and treble for a fully customised listening experience.
