Uki takes a different approach to desktop listening. They are designed to bring harmony and vibrant sound to a desktop or small spaces, merging timeless design with effortless listening.
• Physical Design and Cabinetry
The Uki features a compact, playful form with dimensions of 4.4” W x 4.3” D x 6.5” H (11.2 x 11 x 16.5 cm) for each speaker.
The design is inspired by the timeless artistry of hand-crafted pottery, featuring gentle curves and a tactile finish. This approach differs from the hard edges and metallic trims common to ordinary desktop speakers. The Uki utilizes a rigid, injection-molded cabinet made from partially recycled materials. This cabinetry gives Uki a distinctive flecked texture due to recycled flecks embedded in the material, ensuring that no two pairs are alike. The softened profile of the cabinet is designed to minimize resonance and simplify the manufacturing process, successfully uniting sustainable design with acoustic precision.
For installation flexibility, the speakers include a ¼”-20 threaded rear mounting hole. The optional SU2 Speaker Stand is tailor-made to attach seamlessly using this rear bolt, helping to align Uki with the listener's ears for optimal acoustic clarity.
• Audio Specifications and Performance
Uki employs a Class D Bi-amplified sound architecture. It delivers 100 W Peak Power (50 W Total RMS). The drivers are comprised of ¾” Silk Dome Tweeters and 3” Paper Cone Woofers. Power distribution is 9 W RMS per tweeter and 16 W RMS per woofer.
The speakers are tuned for balance and clarity without harshness, providing "rich musical detail, immersive depth for entertainment, and honest, accurate sound for creation". They are specifically designed for fatigue-free detail and sound that is comfortable and perfect for all-day listening (designed for the "daylist").
The frequency response of the Uki is 80 Hz – 22 kHz.
• Connectivity and Smart Features
The Uki features seamless connectivity through multiple intuitive options:
- Inputs: RCA Line-Level, USB-C (16 bit/48 kHz), and Bluetooth® 5.3.
> The Bluetooth 5.3 connection is designed for effortless connection, providing clear, reliable sound for mobility.
> The USB-C connection allows for a superior digital audio connection to a PC or Mac, bypassing the device's built-in sound card for the clearest, most detailed sound quality.
> The versatile RCA input connects seamlessly to modern pre-amplified turntables, capturing the warmth and character of vinyl.
- Outputs: Subwoofer Out and 3.5mm Headphone Out.
A core intelligent feature is the Automatic Sub Crossover or Smart Sub Integration. Uki automatically redirects frequencies below 100 Hz to a connected subwoofer (via the Subwoofer Out), simultaneously applying an Automatic 100 Hz High/Low-Pass Filter. This process frees the drivers to focus on the mid and high range, resulting in tighter bass, cleaner transients, and full-range sound with minimal distortion.
• Ease of Use
Uki is designed for "Everyday Ease," keeping controls intuitive and within reach.
A front-mounted dial allows users to adjust volume, change inputs, and power on or off in one smooth motion.
The speakers include a quick switch that flips speaker orientation (left/right switching), ensuring that volume controls and headphone access are always close at hand.
• Included Accessories
The box includes:
- A Power Cord.
- A 4-pin Speaker Connector (or Speaker Interconnect Cable) measuring 6 feet (6’).
- 8 x Rubber Feet.
- The User Manual.
