Q Acoustics Q Active 200 active speaker pair + HUB
A full high-resolution wireless audio system that delivers uncompromising hi-fi sound and fits seamlessly into your lifestyle.
Unlimited music from different sources
Each Q Active system includes Bluetooth® 4.1, Apple AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect and UPnP connectivity. Q Active is also Roon-ready. The Q Active's micro-sized hub has very versatile connections and also has a built-in Chromecast™. In other words, music is available from almost unlimited sources, and you can also connect, for example, a vinyl player and a TV to the Q Active speakers. Q Active is designed to support the most popular streaming services directly from their native applications. This means simple and straightforward access to a worldwide music library. Q Active works with Amazon Music, Apple Music, Deezer, Qobuz, Spotify and Tidal applications (some not yet available in Finland).
Q Active connection unit
Let's put it bluntly - most active speakers are nightmarish wiring hassles. Q Active does it much smarter. The system's compact hub can be installed close to sound sources, for example on the other side of the room or behind a TV mounted on the wall. It has a wide range of physical inputs; HDMI ARC for modern television, optical for digital audio sources in general, and analog RCA input (can also be connected to the MM sound box of the record player). The hub converts all sources into a high-resolution 24-bit / 96 kHz digital music signal, and plays the sound at the same resolution wirelessly to the speakers. In other words, your Q Active system can handle all listenable file formats wirelessly. This means high-quality wireless sound reproduction, regardless of the sound source.
Sound quality
Q Acoustics is known for its high price-quality ratio. Q Active is a fully equipped active speaker with which you don't necessarily need a separate sound source to enjoy music. The Q Active 200 speakers have two Balanced Mode Radiator (BMR) speaker elements, which enable an excellent wide sound field regardless of the listening position. In other words. no matter where you sit in the room, you'll hear the same rich, detailed and vibrant sound quality from the Q Active speakers.
Unique design
Careful attention to detail has produced a compact and efficient system that makes a clear visual impact. But above all, Q Active is designed to offer the best possible performance.
In addition to the wide sound image produced by the BMR elements, the subwoofer cleverly hidden in the back panel ensures deep and controlled bass reproduction. In addition, Q Acoustics has paid close attention to the way the Q Active 200's enclosure affects the sound reproduction of the system. The "Dart" support inside the case provides the necessary mechanical stability for the subwoofer units operating behind.
Easy in jumps
Q Active speakers can be controlled in many different ways, just the way you feel best. Native apps on your phone or tablet automatically see the speaker when it's connected to your home network. The convenient supplied remote control works with a 2.4 GHz radio frequency, so it does not need line of sight. And of course the basic functions, such as volume and sound source selection, can also be done easily directly from the touch buttons on the speakers or connection unit.
