Q ACOUSTICS M40 lifestyle
A system for every setting

M40 is designed to serve up extraordinary high-resolution stereo sound no matter the setting. It’s ideal as a main audio system in settings where space is at a premium, it’s perfect as a step on the hi-fi ladder for those who don’t want a component-heavy system of hi-fi separates, and it’s the ultimate second-room system. There are no circumstances in which the M40 micro-tower powered audio system isn’t the correct answer.

High-resolution wireless stereo experience

Specified to meet every eventuality, the M40 is able to deliver stunning stereo sound no matter where it’s coming from. On board 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- 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 to let your games console, your TV, a set-top box, pre-amplified turntable or any other source of sound that takes your fancy join in the high-resolution audio action. You can even attach a subwoofer in case you really want to shake the room. Whatever you want to listen to, the M40 can deal with it, in style. 200 watts of Class D amplification provides the impetus. All you need to do is cue up your favourite tunes and let the M40 bring your music, movies and games vividly to life.

Special grille design
Special grille design

Particular attention has been given to the M40 grille design. Fixing the grille to the baffle, rather than be removable, allows for added strength derived from the baffle and significantly reduces the grille’s structure, particularly around the drivers. The result of the M40’s open grille design minimises disruption of sound dispersion patterns, while reducing reflections for a smoother sonic performance.

C3 Continuous Curved ConeTM driver design

The M40 features with the latest Q Acoustics advancement in driver technology: 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 best of both worlds, in other words.

Award-winning cabinet technology

In addition, the M40 features a decoupled tweeter for crisp, pure high frequency performance, along with Helmholtz Pressure Equaliser™ (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.

"'Convenience' ceased to be a dirty word in hi-fi circles some time ago, and Q Acoustics has long been on a mission to rehabilitate the word 'affordable' too. With the M40, the company has combined convenience with affordability, added a hefty dose of performance, and manifested it in a compact package that's easy to live with and enjoy."

"The Q Acoustics M40 is another fun and thoroughly engaging speaker system that plays nicely with a range of sources. This micro tower is easy to accommodate, less conspicuously hi-fi in its looks, and packs a rich, warm performance… in terms of opening up a new space within the market, I think Q Acoustics is onto a winner with the M40."

"(Slightly) big and (certainly) clever, the M40 HD is Q Acoustics doing what Q Acoustics does best...If you want some full-scale streaming performance from a slightly-less-than-full-scale system at a less-than-full-on price, you won’t go far wrong here."

>>AVForums, 10/10, Best In Class Award
Rolling Stone, Audio Awards logo

"This is a just-add-smartphone complete system that’s simplicity itself to set up and operate….There are many admirable aspects of the sound quality available here, but most immediately impressive is just how much of it there is…Smaller room? Suddenly that’s no impediment to getting a bigger sound - and without breaking the bank, either.…it’s hard to find fault with the M40 HD’s presentation."
