Q Acoustics M20 HD Wireless Music System Launched
The new Q Acoustics HD wireless music system breaks cover. The M20 boasts that it is the most powerful, immersive and convenient way to enjoy music, movies and gaming audio anywhere in the home.
Q Acoustics' M20 is said to sport advanced driver technology, award-winning P2P (Point to Point) cabinet bracing, and an elegant, classic design that delivers class-leading wireless hi-res audio.
The M20 is powered by a built-in amplifier pushing out a claimed 130 watts via its two-way design. The 22mm tweeter is decoupled to minimise any internal vibrations, while the 125mm mid/bass driver and rear-firing reflex port in each speaker all work together to produce a claimed frequency response (DSP set flat) of 20Hz to 20kHz ±0.5dB.
Naturally, the M20 benefits from Q Acoustics' proprietary P2P (Point to Point) internal bracing to support the parts of the enclosure that need to be stiffened. According to the British audio specialist, this is said to improve the focus of the stereo image and give the soundstage more accuracy than ever before. Furthermore, the grille's curved contours are designed to disperse any tweeter activity, keeping unwanted reflections to a minimum.
Bluetooth 5.0 is onboard along with aptX HD tech for wireless high-resolution streaming up to 24-bit/48kHz from any compatible device. Additionally, connect the M20 to a computer via USB, and you can hear hi-res audio in 24bit/192kHz.
The flexible and compact (279mm x 170mm x 296mm (HxWxD)) M20 is not just about the latest wireless technology. Instead, 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.
To make positioning near a mains power outlet easier, you can designate the powered speaker as either the left or right channel. Also, you can let the system know if each speaker is positioned in a corner, against a wall or in free space via the EQ switch. That way, the digital sound processing can work its magic and optimise the audio performance no matter where you have your M20 speakers.
Finally, stands and wallbrackets are also available for further placement options.
The Q Acoustics M20 HD wireless music system is priced at US$599.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
