Designed exclusively for the Kanto Ora and Kanto Uki compact powered speakers, the SU2 attaches via a \u003cstrong\u003e1\/4\"-20 rear-mount connection\u003c\/strong\u003e to angle each speaker upward at a fixed \u003cstrong\u003e13-degree tilt\u003c\/strong\u003e, directing the tweeter more accurately toward seated ear level for near-field desktop listening. Silicone pads on the stand reduce vibrations for cleaner, clearer sound, the rear-mount attachment design leaves all rear panel inputs fully accessible for unobstructed cable connection, and the stand supports up to \u003cstrong\u003e3.1 lb \/ 1.4 kg\u003c\/strong\u003e per stand, sized precisely for the Ora and Uki speaker weight class. Built from steel in black, the SU2 pairs seamlessly with the aesthetic of both Kanto Ora and Uki models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRear-Mount Design and Unobstructed Input Access\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SU2 attaches to the rear panel of the Kanto Ora and Uki speakers via the 1\/4\"-20 threaded mounting point rather than supporting the speaker from beneath its base. This rear-mount approach solves a problem common to desktop speaker stands: when a speaker sits on a conventional base-contact stand, the rear panel inputs are often partially obstructed by the stand edge or the desk surface behind it, making cable insertion and adjustment awkward. By mounting from the rear, the SU2 keeps the speaker elevated and tilted forward, leaving the full rear panel input array completely accessible for power, USB, optical, RCA, and any other rear-facing connections the Ora and Uki speakers offer. This is a particularly practical advantage for desktop setups where cables are frequently swapped or adjusted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e13-Degree Upward Tilt and Vibration Reduction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SU2 holds the Kanto Ora and Uki at a fixed 13-degree upward tilt, a steeper angle than the 6-degree tilt used by the SE-series stands, reflecting the lower typical placement height of the smaller Ora and Uki speakers on a desk surface. At closer near-field listening distances, a more aggressive upward tilt is required to direct the tweeter toward the listener's ears rather than at their chest or chin. The 13-degree angle is calibrated specifically for the Ora and Uki driver geometry and typical desk placement height, providing the correct on-axis alignment for a seated listener without requiring any adjustment. Silicone pads on the stand contact surfaces reduce vibration transfer between the speaker and the desk, keeping resonance low and maintaining the audio clarity the Ora and Uki are designed to deliver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRear-Mount 1\/4\"-20 Attachment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mounts to the rear panel of the Kanto Ora and Uki via a standard 1\/4\"-20 thread, keeping all rear inputs fully accessible for unobstructed cable connection and adjustment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e13-Degree Fixed Upward Tilt:\u003c\/strong\u003e Angles the speaker toward seated ear level at a near-field desktop listening distance, directing the tweeter's primary dispersion axis accurately toward the listener without any manual adjustment required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSilicone Pads for Vibration Reduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silicone contact pads on the stand reduce vibration transfer between the speaker and the desk surface, keeping resonance low and maintaining audio clarity during playback.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDedicated Compatibility with Kanto Ora and Uki:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dimensioned, load-rated, and tilt-optimized specifically for the Kanto Ora and Uki compact powered speaker models, ensuring a precise physical and acoustic fit for owners of those speakers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid steel build provides the structural rigidity needed to hold the rear-mounted speaker securely at the fixed tilt angle without flex or drift during playback.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3.1 lb \/ 1.4 kg Load Capacity Per Stand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Load-rated to match the weight class of the Kanto Ora and Uki speakers, providing appropriate structural support for those specific models.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompact Footprint:\u003c\/strong\u003e Overall dimensions of 6.5 x 5.6 x 3.3 inches keep the desk footprint minimal while providing a stable platform for the rear-mounted speaker above.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlack Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Matches the aesthetic of the Kanto Ora and Uki speaker lineup for a visually cohesive desktop setup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMounting Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRear-mount, 1\/4\"-20 thread\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eUpward Tilt Angle\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e13 degrees\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLoad Capacity (per stand)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e3.1 lb \/ 1.4 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePrimary Compatibility\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eKanto Ora, Kanto Uki\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eConstruction Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSteel\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eColor\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eVibration Damping\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSilicone pads on contact surfaces\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOverall Dimensions (W x D x H)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e6.5 x 5.6 x 3.3 in \/ 16.5 x 14.3 x 8.4 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeight (per stand)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1.1 lb \/ 0.5 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePackage Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1.405 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBox Dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e9.6 x 5.5 x 3.6 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eEnvironmental Resistance\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eIndoor use only\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the Kanto SU2 desktop speaker stands?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kanto SU2 are a pair of rear-mounted desktop speaker stands built from steel, designed exclusively for the Kanto Ora and Kanto Uki compact powered speakers. The SU2 attaches to the rear panel 1\/4\"-20 thread of each speaker, angles it upward at a fixed 13-degree tilt toward seated ear level, and uses silicone contact pads to reduce vibration and resonance during playback. Made by Kanto, a Canadian audio accessories brand based in Vancouver, the SU2 is sold at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada and supports speakers up to 3.1 lb \/ 1.4 kg per stand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Kanto SU2 compare to the Kanto SE2 desktop stands?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kanto SU2 and SE2 both elevate and tilt compact Kanto speakers on the desk, but use fundamentally different attachment approaches suited to different speaker models. The SE2 is a base-contact elevated platform designed for the Kanto YU2, raising the speaker from beneath at a 6-degree tilt and providing a 3.1 x 4.7-inch resting surface. The SU2 mounts from the rear panel via the 1\/4\"-20 thread of the Kanto Ora and Uki, applying a steeper 13-degree tilt calibrated for the closer near-field placement and specific driver geometry of those models, and keeping all rear inputs unobstructed. The SU2 is not interchangeable with the SE2 and is specifically engineered for the Ora and Uki rear-mount interface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does the Kanto SU2 use a 13-degree tilt rather than the 6-degree tilt used by other Kanto stands?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 13-degree upward tilt of the SU2 is calibrated specifically for the Kanto Ora and Uki speaker geometry and their typical near-field desktop placement height. Smaller, lower-profile compact speakers like the Ora and Uki sit closer to the desk surface than larger bookshelf models, meaning the tweeter is positioned further below a seated listener's ear level relative to the listening distance. A steeper tilt angle is therefore required to redirect the tweeter's dispersion axis upward toward ear level at the typical near-field desktop listening distance, achieving the same on-axis alignment that a shallower 6-degree tilt provides for taller speakers at greater listening distances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the rear-mount design of the Kanto SU2 block any of the speaker's inputs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, the rear-mount design of the SU2 is specifically engineered to leave the full rear input panel of the Kanto Ora and Uki speakers fully accessible after the stand is attached. The 1\/4\"-20 mounting thread used by the SU2 engages a dedicated mounting point on the rear panel rather than covering the input connectors, allowing power, USB, optical, RCA, and any other rear-facing connections to be used normally with the stand fitted. This is one of the primary practical advantages of the rear-mount approach over conventional base-contact desktop stands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Kanto SU2 be used with speakers other than the Kanto Ora and Uki?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kanto SU2 is designed and dimensioned exclusively for the Kanto Ora and Uki compact powered speakers. The 3.1 lb \/ 1.4 kg load capacity, 13-degree fixed tilt geometry, and overall stand dimensions are calibrated around the specific weight and form factor of those two models. While the 1\/4\"-20 rear-mount thread is a common standard, using the SU2 with speakers outside its rated load capacity or with significantly different weight distributions from the Ora and Uki is not recommended and may compromise stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo the silicone pads on the Kanto SU2 protect the desk surface?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the silicone pads on the SU2 contact surfaces protect the desk surface from marks and scratches during normal use and when repositioning the stands. The silicone material is non-marking on wood, laminate, glass, and other common desk surface finishes, and provides grip to prevent the lightweight stand from shifting on the desk during playback. The same silicone pads reduce vibration transfer between the speaker and the desk surface, keeping resonance low and preserving the audio clarity of the Kanto Ora and Uki speakers during extended listening sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Kanto SU2 desktop speaker stands in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kanto SU2 rear-mounted desktop speaker stands are available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada.
