Introduction

Thank you for choosing SYD6 Powered Speaker, designed by Kanto in Canada. SYD6 outputs
40 W RMS per channel into 4 Ohm speakers, for remarkably bold and clean sound. Excellent
sensitivity and frequency response provide deep thumping lows and clear, scintillating highs.
SYD6 is an amazingly flexible speaker system that can accept five input sources and connect
to a subwoofer for enhanced low frequency effects (LFE). Additionally, it is equipped with the
latest Bluetooth technology and a USB port for charging USB devices. SYD6 operates on a multi­voltage power source from 110 V to 240 V and can be used worldwide.

We recommend you read all instructions carefully before using the system and keep them for
future reference. Kanto cannot be liable for damage or injury caused by incorrect setup or use of
this product.

This powered speaker system was carefully tested and inspected during production, and before
