Q Acoustics Q Active 400 Powered Speakers

With Q Acoustics Q Active 400 Powered Speakers, Q Acoustics has taken its mastery of engineering, design and performance to a completely new place.

The brief for Q Acoustics Q Active 400 Powered Speakers was simple, yet staggeringly ambitious: to create an exceptional high-resolution wireless audio system within a pair of compact, high performance speakers.

The speakers must eliminate the plentiful wiring of a traditional audio system, requiring only the connection of mains power.

But they must also accommodate traditional physical audio formats as well as audio streaming services. Such as Bluetooth, Apple AirPlay 2, streaming service compatibility and network streaming too, Q Active must include sound from TVs, from turntables, from games consoles and from CD players as part of the system, wirelessly and in high resolution audio quality.

It sounds like it can’t be done. But it can – all that’s required is vision, determination, dedication and world-class engineering. With Q Active, Q Acoustics has redefined the ‘music system’ – and has brought your audio past and present into the future.

FEATURES

• High fidelity sound with true wireless connectivity from multiple streaming services: Apple AirPlay 2, Roon, Spotify and plenty more gives access to a planet’s-worth of music.
• Integrate your TV, turntable, games console and more into your wireless, music-streaming system.
• Voice control – works with Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa (available early 2021) or Apple Siri for easy voice control.

Versatile
Q Acoustics has designed the Q Active range from the ground up, with the express intent of delivering an uncompromised, versatile high-resolution system that can play music from any source – TV, network music streamer, smartphone, laptop, and even a turntable.

A compact central Control Hub configured either for Google “Chromecast built-in” or Amazon “Works with Alexa” (coming 2021) is supplied with each pair of speakers, which allows users to connect to a variety of wired and wireless sources. The Hub can be connected to your home network using ethernet or wi-fi.

Sound
The Q Active range is a true active design, with class D amplification eliminating the need for a bulky external amp or receiver.

Q Active 400 speakers feature twin Balanced Mode Radiator (BMR) drive units in an offset configuration that deliver a widescreen sound dispersal and a huge sweet spot: so no matter where you’re sitting in the room, you’ll hear the same rich, detailed and expressive sound from the Q Active speakers.

Design
Meticulous attention to detail has produced a compact, high-performance system that makes a distinctive visual statement – but every element of Q Active has been engineered to deliver the best performance possible.

As well as the panoramic, widescreen sound delivered by the BMR arrangement and the deep, controlled bass served up by the carefully specified and positioned subwoofers, Q Acoustics has paid painstaking attention to the way the Q Active 400 cabinet contributes to the system’s outstanding sonic performance.

‘Dart’ bracing is in the Q Active 400 cabinet to provide essential stiffness to the cabinet and equally helpful mechanical stability to the rear-firing subwoofer units.
