Seamless TV Integration

Equipped with HDMI ARC and CEC, REN integrates seamlessly with your TV, delivering superior sound quality without the necessity for a bulky receiver or multiple remotes. It also features auto-wake functionality and can be conveniently controlled via your TV remote.

Tailored Sound for Every Scene

REN features DSP control, enabling advanced sound modes such as Vocal Boost and Night Mode to enhance dialogue clarity and moderate loud sound effects during late-night viewing. This ensures precise audio reproduction without missing dialogue or disturbing neighbors.

Seamless Subwoofer Integration

When a subwoofer is connected to REN’s sub output, the system automatically redirects all frequencies below 80 Hz to the subwoofer. This allows the main speakers to concentrate on mid and high frequencies, minimizing distortion at higher volume levels.

What others are saying

"A powered speaker with accomplished sound, the Kanto Ren is a versatile powered speaker for those that can’t get into all the complications that come with traditional hi-fi."

Kob Monney

Trusted Reviews

"Just as happy as a quasi-soundbar as a two-channel audio system, the Kanto Ren has plenty going for it – and it looks almost as good as it sounds"

Simon Lucas

"It’s rare that multi-purpose Hi-Fi kit can compete with the specialist stuff – but the Kanto Audio Ren pulls that feat off very neatly indeed. They’re just as comfortable flanking your TV as they are your turntable, with impressively impactful audio that’ll embarrass many soundbars"

Tom Morgan-Freelander

Stuff

"They're an incredibly well-rounded pair of speakers, packed full of inputs and goodies. They also happen to sound really, really good, with buckets of low-end grunt and high-end clarity."

Tammy Rogers

tom's guide

"In a sea of single-box systems that overpromise and underdeliver, Kanto’s REN stands out by offering legitimate stereo separation, robust connectivity, and a seamlessly easy day-to-day user experience."

Mark Henninger

Sound & Vision

"It’s not common to find a product that ticks all the boxes with respect to a given reviewer’s criteria and instincts; there’s always some form of compromise... Sometimes, though, a brand will hit nail squarely on the head. And that is exactly what Kanto have done with their REN speaker system."

James Grimshaw

Tech Radar

"REN speakers are super punchy on the bottom end, and I don't really feel like I need a subwoofer."

Cheap Audio Man

"The Kanto Ren system doesn’t require much thought. It’s practically plug-and-play once you grok a few minor, poorly documented features, it’s well-equipped in terms of inputs, it sounds really great, and it’s forgiving in terms of setup."

Dennis Burger

SoundStage! Access

"Sporting events had natural commentary, movies blended vocals, soundtrack and special effects with ease and the matte orange added a sophisticated touch of colour and pop, to what is usually a conservative black or white décor."

John Thomson

"We feel REN is an excellent option in this price range for someone who wants to put speakers on their desk or next to their TV that will sound better than a soundbar."

Harrison Lainhart

Audio Advice

"But while I was surprised, I was initially skeptical these could handle a full on movie night. Nonetheless, they did. These are really fantastic speakers for the price."
