Inspired by an equal appreciation for digital and analog, the YU4 gives you the freedom to enjoy all your devices.

With five inputs and a subwoofer output, the YU4 brings all your sound to life.

The YU4 comes equipped with a built-in phono preamp, allowing you to easily connect any vintage or modern-day turntable. Toggle between line-level and phono with a simple flip of a switch, and reduce noise using the provided ground terminal.

Featuring integrated Bluetooth 4.0 with Qualcomm aptX technology, the YU4 lets you stream high-quality audio directly from any Bluetooth-enabled device. Sit back and enjoy your carefully curated playlist from anywhere in the room.

Take your desktop setup to the next level by connecting the YU4 to your computer via the RCA, aux, or optical TOSLINK inputs. To reduce vibration and improve the soundstage, use the speakers with optional desktop speaker stands.

Enhance any cinematic experience with high-fidelity sound by connecting the YU4 to your TV via one of two optical TOSLINK inputs. To ensure your speakers remain stable and properly positioned, place them on optional floor stands.

Packed with functionality, the YU series remote makes listening to audio more convenient. Quickly switch between sources, tune your sound to fit your space, and control playback while streaming via Bluetooth.

Automatic standby and power-up mode conserves power when you're away and continues playback when your music starts playing.

Fantastic sound for the price. Excellent for phono input without any amp or preamp. Excellent for Bluetooth streaming also.

Outstanding speakers. Make sure to open your audio console and turn off ALL equalization and sound effects. At first, the sound was terrible, but once I cancelled all the equalization and sound effects, the speakers truly shined. Highly recommended.

I've had the YU4s in the bedroom for about six months and continue to be very impressed with the quality of sound from these powered speakers. They are perfect for use with your phone or tablet and they have every kind of input for just about any other media. The highs are incredibly clear and bright and they have surprisingly rich lows for bookshelf size speakers. The sound fills the bedroom space well and the bamboo finish, shape and exposed design blend great with the decor. All aspects of these YU4s from the packaging to the sound are high quality and as usual, the buying experience and service from B and H is the best.

I needed a small powerful bookshelf speaker for my living room. These work better than expected and look real classy. The sound is clean and crisp. I do recommend these for sure.

Amazing speakers for the non-audiophile that appreciates great sound AND design!
Make sure you get the angles right though, because that can really affect the sound
