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.

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

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.
