This is an amplifier that delivers 65 W per channel, and a DSP module with the ability to correct sound depending on the location of the speakers: in the corner, against the wall or freely. A 22 mm tweeter and a 125 mm woofer are responsible for the sound in each speaker.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/40d30bb-7dc4-4541-bf79-20b7145f1ad2.jpg\" width=\"901\" height=\"594\" \/><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The audio signal of the Q Acoustics M20 is received via Bluetooth 5.0.\u00a0Support for the aptX HD codec is declared, that is, digital audio is transmitted with a resolution of up to 24 bit \/ 48 kHz &#8211; of course, from a compatible device.\u00a0The built-in DAC will allow the M20 to work with a computer via USB &#8211; in this case, the signal parameters can increase up to 24 bit \/ 192 kHz.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/04ed8bb-f475-497d-8229-47fc019b1d58.jpg\" width=\"960\" height=\"632\" \/><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, the M20 can use optical or coaxial digital inputs.\u00a0An analog RCA input is also provided on the rear of the M20 master speaker.\u00a0There you can also find an exit to the subwoofer.\u00a0Instead of a spring-loaded connector, Q Acoustics supplied full-length speaker cable terminals to the M20.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/2fe2e3f-00aa-4306-b079-ee368c733019.jpg\" width=\"869\" height=\"567\" \/><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Q Acoustics M20 active systems cost \u00a3 400 in the UK.<\/p>\n<p>[ratemypost]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Q Acoustics\u00a0has released the\u00a0M20 active stereo speakers.\u00a0The design of the speakers is immediately associated with Q Acoustics &#8211; rounded corners and thin contours.\u00a0The cabinets received a proprietary internal P2PTM (Point to Point) fixing.\u00a0The bass reflex ports are brought back, the fabric grills, rounded at the edges, completely cover the front panels.
