Playing audio using Bluetooth

You can use many Bluetooth devices to play 

audio through the M20 system. Firstly you will 

have to pair your Bluetooth device with the 

speaker using the following instructions.
1.  Press and hold the Bluetooth input button 

on the remote control until the blue LED 

flashes on the speaker. Alternatively, press 

the Bluetooth button on the back of the 

amplified speaker, the LED will flash blue. 

2.  Select the Bluetooth settings on your device, 

and look for Q M20 HD in devices.

3.  Select the M20 HD device in the new 

Bluetooth device list.

Once connected, the LED will stop flashing and 

remain on blue.

4.  You can now play audio from your device.
Once you have paired a device, you can simply 

connect to the M20 next time which will turn on 

and select the Bluetooth input. 
When playing audio, you can use the device, the 

remote control or the buttons on the amplified 

speaker to alter the volume. You can also use the 

remote control to play, pause and skip tracks. 

Clearing the Bluetooth pairing list

You can clear all the devices from the Bluetooth 

pairing list memory if required by using the 

following steps: 
1.  Put the speakers into Bluetooth pairing mode 

with a long press of the BLU source button on 

the remote control, the LED will be flashing 

Blue.

2.  Press and hold the BLU source button on the 

remote control again, until the LED goes out 

and then flashes three times. 

The Bluetooth pairing list is now cleared from the 

memory and devices must pair again in order to 

connect. 

Connecting between the speakers

Firstly, connect the supplied speaker cable 

between the amplified and passive speaker. The 

wires are coloured differently to id and - 

polarity. Ensure you always use the gold wire for 

+ and silver wire for – at both ends. 

Port damping

The M20 speakers are rear ported and designed 

to work best with some space behind them i.e. 

200mm or so away from a wall. If you position 

your speakers close to a wall / corner then the 

foam plugs should be inserted into the rear ports 

or there could be too much bass.

• 

Ensure the plugs are fitted snugly into the 

port without inserting them too far.
