The Q Acoustics Q Active 200 is a complete high-resolution wireless hi-fi system: two active standmount speakers and a hub that brings together network streaming, Bluetooth and the inputs for household sources.
Q Active 200: two speakers and a network hub
The Q Active 200 replaces an entire system: amplifier, streamer and loudspeakers are brought together in a complete system made up of two speakers and a hub. Streaming runs over the home network, wired (LAN) or Wi-Fi, with AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect and UPnP/DLNA playback from connected devices and libraries; the system is also Roon Ready. For direct listening from a phone or tablet there is Bluetooth 4.1.
Traditional sources are served by an analogue input, a phono input for a turntable, an optical digital input and an HDMI ARC socket for television sound. Anyone wanting more bass extension can add an active subwoofer through the dedicated output. In this way the same system handles streamed music, vinyl and TV.
The hub exists in two variants, one for Amazon Alexa and one with Chromecast built-in: the one offered here is the second, which works with devices running Google Assistant. The system is available in black or white. Dedicated accessories include the Q FS75 and Q FS50 floor stands and the Q WB75 wall bracket.
