Hot on the heels of its EasyFit in-ceiling speaker range, British loudspeaker specialist Q Acoustics has expanded its architectural audio portfolio further with the launch of the E60, an in-wall audio system for residential projects. Designed to sit flush within the wall and operate without external boxes or racks, the E60 is positioned as an accessible entry point to the brand’s custom installation range.
The new model joins the company’s existing E120 Bluetooth/DAB in-wall system and the E300A in-ceiling amplifier, extending what Q Acoustics describes as its easy install family. For installers, the system offers reduced complexity on site, broad speaker compatibility and a format suited to modern living spaces, including bathrooms and kitchens.
The E60 combines a Class D stereo amplifier, Bluetooth connectivity and a wall-mounted control interface in a single, IP54-rated unit. Supplied ready to fit with a screwless, clip-in fixing system, the system is suitable for humid environments such as bathrooms, kitchens and conservatories.
Available in black or white, the wall panel incorporates subtle LED indicators that brighten during use and dim automatically in low-light conditions. The approach mirrors the aesthetic cues of the E120, maintaining visual consistency across projects where multiple zones may be deployed. A selectable mono mode allows both channels to be output through both speakers. In practical terms, this provides even sound coverage in spaces where stereo imaging is less critical, such as en-suites or open-plan spaces.
The spec sheet confirms a 2 x 25W Class D amplifier (into 6Ω), specified with 0.07% THD at 1W and a frequency response of 20Hz–20kHz ±1dB. The E60 is optimised for use with Q Acoustics’ in-ceiling, in-wall and outdoor speaker ranges, but it remains fully compatible with third-party passive install speakers.
Wireless audio is delivered via Bluetooth 5.0 with A2DP and AVRCP v1.6 support, enabling two-way control for play, pause and track skip. For fixed sources, an optical digital audio input (16-bit/48kHz) allows straightforward integration with a TV or other digital source, broadening the system’s application beyond background music. Power consumption is rated at 10W typical, with standby below 2W
System expansion is supported through a 3.5mm analogue line output, configurable as fixed or variable, with a maximum level of 670mV. This enables installers to add scale with a subwoofer or external power amplifier, without replacing the core unit.
Operationally, the E60 uses nine touch-sensitive buttons, engineered for reliability in environments where hands may be wet.. The supplied cabling includes two 7m lengths of 19 AWG speaker cable and a 5m DC extension, providing practical flexibility during installation.
The Q Acoustics E60 is available now in black or white, priced at £279 / €359.
Recommended bundles include:
E60 with Qi65CB in-ceiling speakers: £359 / €460
E60 with Qi65C in-ceiling speakers: £399 / €519
E60 with Qi65CE Easyfit in-ceiling speakers: £479 / €619
The system is available direct from Q Acoustics and through independent dealers.
