Introduction Thank you for choosing TUK, a Canadian designed powered speaker system. TUK takes its name from Tuktoyaktuk, a remote hamlet on the shores of the Arctic Ocean. A place where the colorful dance of the Aurora Borealis offers a thrilling experience – one that we’ve sought to emulate with sound. Its wide range of connectivity makes it perfectly suited as both a near field and home audio solution. We recommend you read all instructions carefully before using TUK and keep them for future reference.

Remote Control Install two supplied AAA batteries in the back of your TUK remote. Remote Control functions are listed below.
Setting up TUK Ensure that the Power Switch is in the OFF position. Connect the two speakers together as shown below using the supplied speaker cable. Connect the RED (+) and BLACK (−) terminals from the active speaker to the corresponding terminals on the passive speaker. If you wish to place your speakers farther apart than the supplied cable will reach, we recommend that you purchase a heavier gauge of speaker cable to minimize signal loss.
Setting up TUK Start-up / Shut-down time TUK can take up to 6 seconds to boot up and shut down. During this time the speaker will not respond to remote commands or adjustments to the Volume / Input knob. Do not attempt to adjust any settings while TUK is starting up as it may cause a jarring change when audio starts playing. Channel Swap You can swap the L / R stereo output on TUK.
Connecting Audio Sources Use the appropriate audio cable to connect your audio source components to your speakers. • RCA - 3.5 mm stereo mini-jack AUX cable (included) • Stereo RCA cable • Optical Toslink cable (see Pg. 11 for TV / Home Theater setup) • USB A / B cable (commonly referred to as a "printer cable", included) TUK features a built in Phono Pre-Amp that allows you to connect directly to a turntable. • Please see Pg.
Connecting to a Turntable TUK features a phono input for use with turntables that do not contain built-in pre-amps. 1. While the speakers are in standby or OFF, plug your turntable’s audio cables into the right and left PHONO input of TUK. If your turntable has a ground wire, connect it to the GND post of TUK. 2. Turn on or wake the speakers and select the PHONO input using the TUK remote’s input button. You can also cycle through inputs by pressing the knob on the front of TUK.
Connecting to a Computer TUK features a USB input for use with PCs and other audio equipment. 1. While the speakers are in standby or OFF, plug the included USB cable into a USB port of the PC and the other into the USB input of TUK. 2. Turn ON or wake the speakers and select the USB input using the TUK remote’s Input button. You can also cycle through inputs by pressing the knob on the front of TUK.
Connecting Bluetooth TUK features Bluetooth 4.2 with Qualcomm® aptX™, aptX™HD and AAC codecs and can be paired with many devices for wireless audio playback from your phone, MP3 player or tablet. Pairing is easy. 1. Press the Input button on TUK’s remote to select BT as the input source. You can also cycle through inputs by pressing the knob on the front of TUK. The BT Input LED will blink slowly for 8 seconds while it attempts to pair with the last known device.
Connecting a Subwoofer TUK is equipped with an RCA connector to provide output signal to a powered subwoofer. Simply connect a single RCA subwoofer cable from the SUB OUT connection on TUK to the AUDIO INPUT on your subwoofer. If your sub-woofer has a stereo L / R RCA input, either left or right inputs will work. We recommend the Kanto sub6 or sub8 powered subwoofer with crossover and volume controls.
Special Functions Automatic Power Up (APU) / Automatic Power Down (APD) TUK is designed to save power when not in use. When no audio signal has been detected for 15 minutes, TUK will put itself into standby mode (APD). If the audio signal returns via the same input that TUK was playing when it entered standby, TUK will wake up and resume playing (APU).
