Q Acoustics E60 - Bluetooth In-Ceiling Speaker System with Q Install Speakers
DETAILS
E60 by Q Acoustics - a high-performance, easy-to-install audio system for any room in the home

The Q Acoustics E60 is an elegant, easy-to-install in-wall audio system. Designed for seamless integration into any home, the E60 combines Bluetooth 5.0 wireless connectivity with a clean, screwless aesthetic and a 2 x 25-watt Class D amplifier.
This complete kit features the Q Acoustics E60 In-Wall Amplifier in Black or White, and a choice of 2 or 4 Q Install in-ceiling speakers.
Design & Installation
The E60 is IP54-rated & splash-proof straight out of the box, meaning no sealant required. This makes it ideal in bathrooms, kitchens, garden rooms and other humid environments. A screwless clip-in fixing system ensures fast installation and a clean, seamless finish, with deep black and warm white colour options that sit flush in any modern interior.
Controls & User Experience
Touch-sensitive controls work reliably with wet fingers, making them particularly well-suited to bathroom environments. Subtle LED indicators brighten during adjustments for clear visibility, then dim automatically in low light to keep things unobtrusive.
Audio Performance
The E60 features an integrated 2 x 25-watt Class D amplifier that drives up to two pairs of in-ceiling, in-wall or cabinet speakers with controlled, balanced and dynamic performance.
The system is perfectly paired with Q Acoustics speakers such as those in this kit, ensuring excellent, balanced sound quality.
The panel also includes a mono/stereo switch, allowing users to set the system accordingly depending on the environment.
For example:
- Stereo - Two speakers on either side of a TV or where stereo spread matters.
- Mono - Speakers in a bathroom/bedroom or where volume consistency matters over a stereo spread.
Connectivity & Expansion
Bluetooth 5.0 with two-way AVRCP control handles wireless audio streaming, while an optical TOSLINK input allows users to connect directly to a TV or compatible AVR receiver.
A fixed or variable analogue line output also allows users to connect an active subwoofer, further enhancing the system.
