Combining Bluesound's flagship wireless music streamer with Kanto's 320W peak powered bookshelf speaker system, this package brings together advanced digital music playback, high-quality digital-to-analog conversion, and integrated speaker amplification.

Bundle Includes

• 1 x Bluesound Node Icon HiRes Wireless Music Streamer BLACK - NEW (Model: N530BLKUNV)
• 1 x Kanto Living TUK Grand 2nd Gen 320 W Premium Powered Speaker System with Bluetooth 5.4 - Dual RCA and USB-C Inputs MATTE BLACK W/ GUNMETAL - NEW (Model: TUKGG2PMBG; pair of speakers)

The Bluesound NODE ICON serves as the system's dedicated high-resolution music streaming source. Its dual-mono DAC design features two ESS SABRE ES9039Q2M digital-to-analog converters, while the BluOS platform provides access to supported music services, personal digital libraries, and multi-room playback. A 5-inch full-colour display, aluminum chassis, Apple AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, and Roon Ready integration provide a combination of premium design and flexible music control.

The Kanto TUK Grand 2nd Gen speakers provide the amplification and acoustic output for the system. Featuring 6-inch aluminum concave cone woofers and 28 x 35mm Air Motion Transformer tweeters, the speakers deliver a frequency response extending from 40Hz to 22kHz. Their integrated Class D amplifier provides 160W total RMS output and 320W peak power, making them suitable for demanding stereo listening applications. The matte black and gunmetal finish complements the NODE ICON's black aluminum design.

Connecting the two components is straightforward. The NODE ICON's stereo RCA analog outputs can connect to one of the Kanto TUK Grand's RCA line-level inputs. The NODE ICON includes a stereo RCA-to-RCA cable suitable for this connection. Once connected, the NODE ICON handles music streaming and digital-to-analog conversion while the Kanto speakers provide amplification and sound reproduction. Both components also offer additional connectivity for future system expansion, including digital audio connections, Bluetooth functionality, and subwoofer outputs.

Recommended System Connection

Connect the Bluesound NODE ICON's left and right stereo RCA analog outputs to one of the Kanto TUK Grand 2nd Gen's RCA line-level inputs using the stereo RCA-to-RCA cable supplied with the NODE ICON. Select the appropriate RCA input on the Kanto system and use BluOS to select and control streaming music. The NODE ICON handles streaming and digital-to-analog conversion, while the Kanto speakers provide the amplification needed for stereo playback.

The Kanto system includes an active speaker, a passive companion speaker, and a 15-foot inter-speaker cable. Connect the two Kanto speakers using their designated binding posts according to the supplied product instructions. No external power amplifier is required. The NODE ICON's balanced XLR outputs are not used for this connection because the supplied Kanto specifications list RCA inputs but do not identify balanced XLR inputs.

Both products include additional audio connections for compatible sources and future expansion. The NODE ICON provides HDMI eARC, digital outputs, and headphone connections, while the Kanto speakers offer USB-C, optical audio, Bluetooth, and a dedicated subwoofer output. The supplied Kanto specifications do not list HDMI ARC or a phono input, so those features should not be assumed for this speaker model.
