Kanto S2 black
Overview
Placed flat on a desk, compact speakers aim below ear level and lose treble definition. Kanto’s S2 correct this with a fixed 16° tilt that redirects the sound toward the listening position. Sold as a pair, these aluminum stands accommodate most 2 to 3-inch speakers, including the Kanto YU2.
16° tilt for a better listening axis
High frequencies radiate directionally: off-axis, they fade quickly. By raising the front of the speaker by 16°, the S2 reposition the drivers toward the ears. The improvement affects the clarity of the upper spectrum and the precision of the stereo image, two parameters that a flat position noticeably degrades on a standard desk.
Aluminum, foam, and stability
The aluminum structure remains rigid without adding unnecessary weight. Foam pads are placed on the upper platform and under the base: they provide grip, protect surfaces, and absorb the micro-vibrations transmitted by the drivers to the desk surface. The footprint is compact (13.5 x 10 cm, 3.4 cm high), and the low profile keeps the speaker in the foreground.
Compatibility and limitations
Each stand accommodates one speaker with a base measuring between 7 x 10 cm and 15 cm deep, for a maximum weight of 2.7 kg. This range covers most 2 to 3-inch desktop monitors on the market. For larger or heavier speakers, Kanto offers the S4, with a higher load capacity and a 1/4”-20 mounting thread. The S2 angle is fixed and cannot be adjusted: this is an accessory with no mechanism, and setup simply consists of placing the speaker on top. Two finishes are available, black and white.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the S2 suitable for speakers from brands other than Kanto?
Yes. Any speaker with a base measuring between 7 x 10 cm and 15 cm deep, for a maximum weight of 2.7 kg, can be installed on the S2. This format matches the majority of 2 to 3-inch desktop monitors on the market.
Is the 16° angle adjustable?
No. The tilt is fixed and cannot be changed. If you need more elevation rather than a simple tilt, Kanto’s SE2 model raises the speakers 9.6 cm above the desk, with a different listening angle.
What is the difference between the S2 and the S4?
The S4 are designed for larger and heavier 3 to 4-inch speakers (load capacity of 3.6 kg per stand). They feature a 1/4”-20 thread that allows the speaker to be attached to the stand, an option not available on the S2.
