”The M2 throws out a sound big enough to match the biggest of TV screens.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ 2019 award-winner.
BMR speakers for a powerful and 180 degree spacious sound
Just like its soundbar kin, the M2 uses BMR (Balanced Mode Radiator) drive units. These combine the advantages of both flat panel and conventional speakers to give a truly powerful sound without distortion. Another advantage is BMR drivers give superb spatial imaging meaning that you can sit anywhere in the room and be immersed by the spacious 180 degree sound.
Built-in subwoofer
Rather than using a separate subwoofer, the M2 has the subwoofer within its main casing. This makes for a neater design and less wiring. Using a dedicated 150mm x 100mm drive unit, plus its own amplifier, the M2 has little trouble in reproducing deep, powerful movie soundtracks.
MoviEQ for cinema excitement
Making the most of action movies, the MoviEQ setting gives increased bass and heightened dynamics for the perfect ‘edge of the seat’ cinema excitement.
Bluetooth music streaming with NFC
As well as making your TV sound great, the M2 also has Bluetooth music streaming. Simply pair your device and stream music from your smartphone, tablet or Bluetooth-equipped laptop or desktop. Stream your music library or use a music streaming service such as Spotify, Apple Music or the iPlayer Radio and the M3 becomes a compact music system. With NFC (Near Field Connection), a simple tap from your smartphone is often all you need to do to connect.
HDMI with ARC and other great connectivity for system flexibility
With HDMI connectivity you can link up the M2 using the connection that gives the best quality and convenience. Thanks to the ARC (Audio Return Channel) you also only need a single HDMI cable between soundbar and TV to hear the sound from the TV's onboard receiver. There are also optical digital and two analogue inputs for other sources such as a set-top box, Blu-ray/DVD and MP3 player. With the analogue inputs you've a choice of 3.5mm mini-jack or RCA phono.
Boost the sound of your TV and smartphone’s sound, with the Q Acoustics M2.

Soundbar or Soundbase
Most definitely the answer is "Soundbase" and most definitely the product is this amazing Q Acoustics M2. Neat, understated and under the TV it gives perfect sound across the whole spectrum with none of the false "boom" so typical of Soundbars and no need for a Sub Woofer either.
If what you wish is to boost your TV's sound this is THE answer. Forget the expense of Home Cinema and sit back to enjoy this realistic, clear sound with plenty enough volume and interest however you choose to connect it.
This product is ridiculously good value for money.

Great improvement to TV's sound
The M2 has excellent sound, is easy to set up and operates via my TV's remote control. Bluetooth from my phone and PC also works well. I am very happy with my choice.

Defective.
Had to wait weeks for delivery, understandably due Covid pandemic, but disappointed that unit worked for less than a minute so was returned for a full refund.

A Great Alternative to a Soundbar
Purchase this product based on other reviews. Pleased with the results. Sound is good. The unit itself is very robust and is more than capable of supporting a TV (just a 43" one in this case, but I'm sure it could support larger. Followed a fellow reviewer's advice and purchased an optical cable to connect the device to the TV. Have had no issues controlling the volume with the TV's remote.
Not quite as effective as a multi-speaker sound system with a sub woofer, but a lot tidier and easier to setup. Also, a big improvement on the internal speakers of the TV.
The Bluetooth facility is good too and the sound quality for the music played through it is good

After many months of wondering
On a recent phone call to Mark at Exeter he introduced me to the M2 to assist my poor hearing on the TV. Now installed (with Mark's help) , I am not now using my assisted loop aid and i can make out much more of what is being said. My daughter, who does not have impaired hearing, is finding an improvement in making out diction.It all makes for a more sociable TV watching. I have recommended it to my next door neighbours who have a difficult joint watching situation. My in store purchase was actually on the phone from Mark (working from home)

Great sound and value for money!
If you are struggling to hear speech and in general are tired of the limp sound you get from most modern LCD TVs...then look no further!
This is a simple to install soundbase at an affordable price! Movies will sound more cinematic you will feel the bass and hear thriller, action and Sci-Fi movie sound effects with a roar and great clarity.
For most situations the speech dialogue is now clear and easy to understand with the bass never feeling too overbearing.
Orchestra soundtracks sound lush and playing music from your mobile phone via blue tooth is convenient and very enjoyable.
All in all it's an affordable add-on sound option which connects to your TV via HDMI (Arc) or via an Optical Cable (the latter option is what I use). I can't rate this item more highly. I am thinking of getting a 2nd one for my bedroom as the first in in my lounge.
