Q Acoustics today unveiled the M40 active/wireless audio system, the most convenient and cost-effective way to fill your home with full-size, powerful and immersive sound without filling your home with big, imposing loudspeakers. At just 71cm high, these loudspeakers are compact and discreet, available in Black, White and Walnut to complement any home decor.
On board Bluetooth v5.0 provides wireless connectivity and is compatible with aptX HD and aptX Low Latency technology – so high-resolution sound (up to 24bit/48kHz) can be streamed from any compatible device such as a smartphone, laptop or tablet- and even appropriately specified televisions. Connect the M40 to a computer via its USB input and 24bit/192kHz resolution is available. M40 has enough inputs for your games console, your TV, a set-top box, pre-amplified turntable (i.e. a turntable followed by a phono preamplifier) or any other source of sound.
The M40 features the C3 Continuous Curved Cone mid/bass driver, first seen and heard in the award-winning 5000 Series of loudspeakers. C3 (pronounced “C cubed”) combines the outstanding bass performance of a traditional straight cone with the high/midrange control and fidelity of a flared cone, the company says. In addition, the M40 features a decoupled tweeter, along with Helmholtz Pressure Equalizer (HPE) technology to reduce unwanted standing waves inside the cabinet. The cabinet itself is beautifully sculpted, flawlessly finished, and features Q Acoustics’ proprietary Point to Point (P2P)internal bracing to keep the speaker as rigid and inert as possible.
It’s easy to set-up the M40 so the system is always performing to its maximum, no matter where it is in the room, Q Acoustics states. As well as being able to designate the powered speaker as either the left or right channel (to make accessing mains power as simple as possible), there’s also an EQ switch to let the system know if each speaker is positioned in a corner, against a wall or in free space so its digital sound processing can work its magic and optimize the audio performance. 100W+100W of Class D amplification provides the impetus.
The M40 is available now, priced €899/£749/$999.
