OVERVIEW
Immersive sound for music, movies and gaming
Whether listening to music, watching TV or movies or gaming, the M20’s advanced driver technology is designed to produce low-distortion, accurate but highly immersive stereo sound. Powered by a built-in amplifier providing 65 watts of digital power, the 22mm tweeter is decoupled to minimise any internal vibrations that can adversely affect the audio, while the 125mm mid/bass driver and rear-firing reflex port in each speaker combine to deliver a sound of outstanding balance and drive. From deep but nuanced low-frequencies to its crisp, attacking highs, and with a midrange that’s simply packed with information, the M20 is always a dynamic but poised and engaging listen.

High-resolution wireless stereo experience
Hear your favourite music as close to the artist always intended: in full stereo, high-resolution fidelity. Featuring Bluetooth® 5.0 for an ultra-stable connection and aptX™ HD wireless technology, users can wirelessly stream high resolution audio (up to 24-bit/48kHz) from any compatible device such as smartphone, tablet, laptop and network streamer, while listen to their favourite tunes streamed from popular music services such as Spotify, Tidal, Deezer, Apple Music, Amazon Music and Qobuz.
The flexible M20 isn’t just about the latest wireless technology. It features enough inputs to let your TV, games console, set-top box, turntable or anything else you fancy join in the high-resolution stereo experience. There’s also subwoofer output in case you need to really shake the room. No matter what you want to listen to, M20 can handle it.
Shaped to sound better
Featuring award-winning cabinet technology, every element of the M20’s design is specified to deliver an optimal audio performance. The beautifully sculpted cabinets use Q Acoustics’ proprietary P2P™ (Point to Point) bracing to support the parts of the enclosure that need to be stiffened. The result is an exceptionally rigid cabinet that eliminates internal standing waves to improve the focus of the stereo image and give the soundstage more accuracy than ever before. The grille’s curved contours are also designed to disperse any tweeter activity, keeping unwanted reflections to a minimum.
Always in the right place
It’s easy to set-up the M20 so the system is always performing to its maximum, no matter where it is in the room. 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 optimise the audio performance. And with stands and wall-brackets also available, M20 will always bring your music, movies and games to life wherever it is placed.

Explore the Series
Introducing the M series
Consisting of the compact M20 bookshelf and the 71cm tall M40 micro-towers, the M series models boast room-friendly and flexible designs. Whether streaming music, connecting to your TV or playing video games, these speakers deliver powerful and dynamic audio.
Explore the SeriesVersatility and convenience
With built-in Class-D amplifiers providing the digital power, the M series is a one-stop audio system contained in two speakers. It means no extra boxes are required, while its versatility makes it ideal as a first, main or second-room audio system.
Explore the SeriesConnectivity options
Enjoy high-resolution wireless streaming via Bluetooth® 5.0 with aptX™ HD compatibility, while these speakers allowing connection of any sound source, such as a TV, turntable (with a built-in preamp), games console, set-top box, CD player, network streamer.
Explore the SeriesInterior-friendly finishes
Arriving in three stylish finishes, these compact powered speakers will compliment any living space. Choose from a classic Matte Black, an elegant Matte White or vintage Walnut veneer. Matching speaker stands complete this sharp-looking set-up.
Explore the SeriesC3 Continuous Curved ConeTM driver
The advanced C3 profile (M40 only) combines the bass performance benefits of a traditional straight conic cone with the midrange control of a flared design. By creating a continuous curve profile, we’ve achieved excellent dispersion characteristics, well-controlled frequency response and seamless integration with the tweeter. Bass dynamics are improved, low-end control is superior, it’s more forgiving of room position too.
High-resolution streaming
M series delivers stunning stereo sound no matter the source. Bluetooth® 5.0 provides rock-solid 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. Connect to a computer via its USB input for 24bit/192kHz resolution audio.
Built-in amplification
Built-in low distortion Class-D digital amplifiers directly drive the speakers, providing the powerful, dynamic but nuanced audio. On board DSP (Digital Signal Processor) applies equalisation according to the chosen boundary condition, while it’s also utilised to maximise low frequency extension and enlarge the soundstage, resulting in performance that belies the M20 and M40’s compact size.
P2P™ (Point to Point) bracing
Our P2P™ (Point to Point™) bracing used throughout the M series supports the parts of the enclosure that need to be stiffened making the new enclosures exceptionally rigid, improving the focus of the stereo image and giving the soundstage more accuracy than ever before.
HPE™ (Helmholtz Pressure Equalizer)
Despite only measuring 71cm tall, M40 is, like all floorstanding loudspeakers, vulnerable to internal build-up of pressure that causes unwanted standing waves and colouration. To prevent this occurring, specially designed HPE™ (Helmholtz Pressure Equaliser™) tubes are fitted inside the cabinet to nullify internal pressure and improve frequency response.
Flexible friend
These speakers always perform to their maximum, no matter where they are in the room. Designate the powered speaker as either the left or right channel (to make accessing the mains power easier), while an EQ switch lets the system know if each speaker is positioned in a corner, against a wall or in free space so its digital sound processing can temper the bass and optimise the audio performance.
