Compact powered desktop speakers with studio monitor design
Kanto's ORA is a fantastic desktop sound solution for gamers, bedroom-studio musicians, and content creators. It's got wired USB-C and analog inputs plus Bluetooth for easy wireless streaming from compatible devices. And its clean, modern design and practical features also make it great for pretty much anyone who needs high-quality audio reproduction in a near-field listening situation.
 
Bi-amped drivers
Each speaker in the pair uses a paper-cone woofer and a silk-dome tweeter to deliver open, airy sound with silky-smooth high frequencies. A horn-like tweeter waveguide on each enclosure recalls classic studio monitors and directs high-frequencies in a wide dispersion pattern.
There are separate amplifiers with active crossovers for each driver — a high-quality design choice you don't often find in desktop speakers, especially at this price. It helps the drivers reproduce your music with maximum efficiency for rich, accurate sound.
 
Source connections for musicians, creators, and gamers
Connect a computer, smartphone, or tablet via the rear-panel USB-C input on the back of the ORA's primary speaker and you'll get detailed audio with up to 24-bit/96kHz resolution. That makes these speakers an easy-to-use monitor system for editing audio and video soundtrack, and a great option for a desktop gaming rig. You can also connect an analog source — like a turntable with a phono preamp — using the stereo RCA input.
 
Secondary speaker and subwoofer connections
To connect the primary and secondary speakers, Kanto supplies a convenient 4-pin speaker cable that's custom-designed for the ORA's compact desktop configuration. It's also got an output for connecting a powered subwoofer like the SUB8 (sold separately). That automatically sets a crossover to let the subwoofer handle low frequencies below 100 Hz while the ORA gains oomph and clarity for middle and high frequencies.
 
Get your ORA to ear level with the right stands
These speakers can be placed in vertical or horizontal orientation. Whichever way you place them, we recommend using stands for optimum performance. Kanto makes it easy by offering three different options depending on your needs — choose between the angled S2 and elevated/angled SE2 or pedestal style SP9 to find the best ones to create your own listening sweet spot.
