Kanto REN 100W Active Bookshelf Speakers with HDMI & Bluetooth

Combining the simplicity of a soundbar with the accuracy of a DSP-controlled stereo system, REN seamlessly integrates with any modern TV via HDMI ARC, delivering a home cinema-like experience in one streamlined package.

REN tackles the frustration of quiet dialogue and overwhelming sound effects with two sound modes that boost vocals and reduce low frequencies for nighttime viewing.

When it’s time to add a subwoofer, REN automatically filters sub-bass from its 5.25” aluminium woofers, letting them focus on midrange frequencies with minimal distortion. REN offers versatility beyond the living room with Bluetooth 5.3 for smart home devices, optical for WiFi network streamers, USB-C for desktop use, and analog inputs for everything else.

• SEAMLESS TV INTEGRATION: Featuring HDMI ARC with CEC, REN offers the same kind of seamless TV integration that an AV receiver or soundbar provides. REN automatically wakes when the TV is turned on and can be controlled with the TV remote. No need for multiple remotes or bulky gear to get premium sound from your TV.
• TRUE STEREO SOUND: Soundbars rarely extend past your TV and rely on digital processing to simulate a wider soundstage. You can place REN as far apart as you like giving you a true wide soundstage with pinpoint precision of where the action is happening on the screen. Achieve true stereo sound and leave the gimmicks behind.
• VOCAL BOOST & NIGHT MODE: REN is DSP-controlled, allowing for custom sound modes like Vocal Boost and Night Mode to improve quiet dialogue and soften loud sound effects when watching movies at night. Never miss a line of dialogue or accidentally wake up the neighbours again.
• BASS MANAGEMENT: When a subwoofer is plugged into REN’s sub output, REN automatically sends all frequencies below 80 Hz to the sub letting the speakers focus on what they do best while reducing distortion at higher volume levels. Expand your system when you’re ready and get even better sound.
• PLUG ‘N PLAY: REN has nearly every connection option available from USB-C for desktop use, Bluetooth 5.3 for mobile devices, optical for digital media, to RCA and AUX for analog gear. The connectivity and versatility to work with any piece of gear, in any scenario, past, present, or future.
• FULL CONTROL: REN’s remote can swap the left and right channels, disable auto power-down, dim the front LED, mute an attached sub, control USB or Bluetooth playback, and adjust tone to dial in bass and treble.

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.

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, minimising distortion at higher volume levels.

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 neighbours.
