Better synergy between your sound system and your room
Like its predecessors, the M10 V3 exemplifies the “Just Add Speakers” revolution in hi-fi, whether you’re simply connecting a pair of your favourite speakers to the audiophile-grade speaker terminals or pairing two additional wireless BluOS-enabled rear speakers for a full-fledged Dolby Digital 4.0, 4.1 or 4.2-channel surround sound system. Settings for the dual subwoofer outputs can be adjusted using the intuitive BluOS Controller app.
Created by the award-winning design firm DF-ID, the M10 V3 features a solid brushed aluminum chassis, Gorilla Glass top and front panels, and a bright 7″ touchscreen. With its compact form factor and elegant minimalist design, the M10 V3 it blends beautifully into any living space—not just visually, but sonically as well.
The M10 V3 has been upgraded to support Dirac Live Bass Control* via an optional license. This not only unlocks optimisation of multiple subwoofers, but also co-optimisation of subwoofers and speakers to significantly improve the blend between low and high frequencies to unlock the full potential of every sound source in the room, free of anomalies caused by the listening environment itself.
The M10 V3 can store multiple Dirac profiles for different listening positions or room conditions—for example, whether the drapes are open or closed—and each of these presets can be accessed at the touch of a button of the supplied BC1 IR remote control.
Small and mighty
Behind the M10 V3’s gorgeous colour touchscreen display lies a powerful sound system that delivers thrilling dynamics and exquisite detail. The Hybrid Digital amplifier, based on NCore class-D circuitry, is conservatively rated to deliver 100 watts per channel. The unit’s DAC chip has also been upgraded to the ESS Sabre ES9039, which provides even higher dynamic range, lower noise, and more detail.
The M10 V3 can stream lossless and high-resolution audio and has full MQA hardware decoding and rendering capabilities. And its new dedicated MM phono preamp assures textbook-accurate RIAA equalization and clean gain, meaning you’ll get the most out of your vinyl collection, as well.
Take control of your musical experience
The M10 V3 offers an abundance of control options, in addition to the BC1 remote control. With the BluOS app, you play music from your favourite streaming services, as well as files stored on USB and network drives, using your smartphone, tablet, or PC. The M10 V3 supports AirPlay 2, so you can stream music directly from an iPhone, iPad, or iTunes library. It also supports Spotify Connect and Tidal Connect, so you can play music using the apps for those services, and is Roon Ready. Numerous other streaming services are supported directly from within the BluOS app, including Amazon Music Ultra HD, Deezer, Qobuz, and many others.
You can choose tracks, select sources, and adjust volume and other settings from the M10 V3’s touchscreen. The supplied remote control lets you adjust volume, skip tracks, and activate preset commands. The M10 V3 is compatible with the Amazon Alexa and Apple Siri digital voice assistants, and can be integrated into RTI, Apple, Control4, Crestron, Lutron, and other control and automation ecosystems, so you can control music playback, along with other home systems such as lighting, shades, HVAC, and security.
