The Q Acoustics M40 Powered Micro-Tower Speakers in Black deliver genuine room-filling stereo sound from a remarkably compact 71cm-tall speaker system. With amplification built in, Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX HD, high-resolution USB and optical inputs, the M40 gives you a complete hi-fi system without the traditional stack of separate components.

Powerful active stereo system – 2 × 50W RMS Class-D amplification with up to 2 × 100W peak output.
High-resolution Bluetooth – Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX HD, aptX Low Latency, AAC and SBC support.
C³ Continuous Curved Cone drivers – twin 125mm mid/bass drivers deliver deep, controlled bass and a detailed midrange.
Hi-res wired audio – optical and USB connections support audio up to 24-bit/192kHz.
Connect almost anything – ideal for TVs, computers, CD players, streamers and turntables with a built-in or external phono preamp.
Compact 71cm micro-towers – full-scale stereo performance without the size or complexity of conventional floorstanding speakers and an amplifier.

For anyone considering a traditional amplifier and floorstanding-speaker combination, the M40 offers a compelling alternative. The amplification and digital processing are designed specifically around the speakers, while the compact cabinets make the system considerably easier to position in a typical living room.

NORTHXSOUTH BUYER’S BEST PICK

A brilliantly simple route into proper stereo hi-fi.

The M40 hits a particularly attractive sweet spot: it sounds and behaves like a serious pair of floorstanding speakers but removes the need to choose and accommodate a separate amplifier. They are powerful enough for a substantial living space, yet at only 71cm tall they are far less visually imposing than most conventional floorstanders.

We particularly like them for customers who want one high-quality system for music and TV. Bluetooth makes everyday listening effortless, while optical, USB and analogue inputs allow the M40 to grow into a much more capable hi-fi setup. The only notable omission is built-in Wi-Fi streaming or HDMI ARC, so we would add a dedicated network streamer if app-based multi-room or lossless network streaming is a priority.

Big Sound Without the Hi-Fi Stack

One M40 contains the amplification and electronics while the second speaker is connected using the supplied speaker cable. This keeps the system extremely simple: connect your source, plug the powered speaker into the mains and you have a full stereo system.

The built-in Class-D amplifier is rated at 2 × 50W RMS, with peak output of 2 × 100W. Because the amplification, DSP and loudspeaker drivers have been designed as one system, Q Acoustics can optimise the performance much more precisely than with an arbitrary amplifier-and-speaker combination.

C³ Continuous Curved Cone Technology

Each M40 uses two 125mm C³ Continuous Curved Cone mid/bass drivers alongside a 22mm tweeter. The C³ profile combines the bass performance of a more traditional straight cone with the improved midrange control of a flared design, helping the M40 produce substantial low-frequency weight while retaining clarity through vocals and instruments.

The system reaches down to a quoted 38Hz at -6dB, impressive for cabinets of this size, while a dedicated subwoofer output is provided if you want to extend the system even further.

Designed for Real Rooms

Q Acoustics uses several technologies developed for its passive hi-fi speakers inside the M40. Point to Point™ bracing reinforces key areas of the enclosure to reduce cabinet vibration, while Helmholtz Pressure Equaliser™ technology helps control internal standing waves.

An adjustable boundary EQ also lets the system compensate for whether the speakers are positioned in free space, close to a wall or near a corner. The powered speaker can be assigned as either the left or right channel, giving greater freedom when positioning the system around the nearest power socket.

Bluetooth and High-Resolution Audio

Bluetooth 5.0 supports aptX, aptX HD, aptX Low Latency, AAC and SBC. Compatible aptX HD devices can stream at up to 24-bit/48kHz, while connecting a computer through the USB Type-B input supports audio up to 24-bit/192kHz.

The optical input also supports up to 24-bit/192kHz and makes the M40 an excellent stereo upgrade for a television. Analogue RCA and 3.5mm inputs accommodate traditional audio sources, while a turntable can be connected provided it has a built-in phono preamp or is used with an external one.
