OVERVIEW
OPEN SOUNDSTAGE FROM SLIM-LINE SPEAKER
The focus of any great loudspeaker is to produce an open, ‘being there’ sound and the Q 3010i do just that despite their compact size. Boasting room-filling sound with its 100mm (4 in) and 22mm (0.9 in) precision drivers, focussing on power-to-size ratio, the crossover has been revised to take advantage of a larger cabinet volume to enhance sensitivity and bass extension. The Q 3010i speakers can be shelf-mounted on compliant, pre-fitted rubber feet, stand-mounted or wall-mounted on optional, dedicated stands and brackets.
INCREASED CABINET SIZE DELIVERING A BOLDER SOUND
INCREASED CABINET SIZE DELIVERING A BOLDER SOUND
The 3010i maintain the same acoustically optimal front profile, but have been made slightly taller and 25% deeper than previous models. This increased internal volume has enabled Q Acoustics to gain an extended low frequency response from the ported design so that more-than-ever the smaller enclosures in the range belie their diminutive stature with an impressively large-scale sound. As an added benefit, the enlarged front-to-back dimension means that any cone- generated noise reflected from the back wall of the enclosure and out through the cone itself is reduced.
NEW LOW PROFILE BINDING POSTS
NEW LOW PROFILE BINDING POSTS
Conventional terminal panel cut-outs have been removed, giving greatly improved structural integrity to the enclosures and new low profile binding posts have been incorporated with sockets deep enough to accept 4mm (0.16 in) Banana Plugs. The speaker can be positioned very close to a rear wall even when banana plugs rather than spades or bare wires are used.
BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT
Not only does the entire 3000i range features all new enclosure aesthetics but it also offers 4 new contemporary finishes. The new 3000i series speakers are available in four standard finishes; Graphite Grey, English Walnut, Carbon Black or Arctic White. All are finished with an attractive chrome bezel around each driver and feature magnetic speaker grilles.

Explore the Series
Introducing the 3000i series
Our most affordable range consists of the 3010i bookshelf, 3020i and 3030i standmount models, 3050i floorstander, with the 3090i centre channel and 3060S slimline subwoofer completing the line-up for a 5.1 home cinema set-up.
Explore the SeriesTechnology from the high end
The 3000i series features acoustic and cabinet technologies first introduced in our high-end flagship floorstanding loudspeaker, the Concept 500. Every model in the range benefits from these ground-breaking innovations.
Explore the SeriesThe style to satisfy
Every model in the range features elegantly curved cabinetry and is available in a choice of Carbon Black, Arctic White, Graphite Grey and English Walnut finishes. These veneers are complemented by chrome-finish bezels and magnetic grilles.
Explore the SeriesLow-end power and control
The 3060S is a much slimmer and more discreet subwoofer than the norm, but thanks to its powerful 150-watt amplifier and high-performance 200mm bass driver it can generate all the low-frequency presence a home cinema system demands. And its tidy dimensions and choice of four finishes means it looks much more discreet than it sounds.
Explore the SeriesP2P™ (Point to Point) bracing
Q Acoustics P2P™ (Point to Point™) bracing technology is used throughout the 3000i series - it supports the parts of the cabinet that need to be stiffened, making the new enclosures exceptionally rigid. This improves the focus of the stereo image and gives the soundstage more accuracy than ever before.
High-frequency driver design
The 3000i tweeter unit is mechanically isolated from the baffle via a compliant suspension system to prevent internal pressure modulations from within the cabinet and from the adjacent mid/bass driver - this allows the high-frequency driver to perform with dramatically reduced interference compared to more traditional designs.
Mid/bass driver design
Every 3000i model is fitted with precision-formed mid/bass drivers made from a combination of impregnated and coated paper with a newly developed, low-hysteresis rubber surround. The coated paper cone provides the optimum balance between stiffness and self-damping, which means it can accelerate without flexing and stop very accurately without unwanted resonance.
HPE™ (Helmholtz Pressure Equalizer)
The 3050i, like all floorstanding loudspeakers, is vulnerable to internal build-up of pressure that causes both unwanted standing waves and colouration. To prevent this occurring, specially designed HPE™ (Helmholtz Pressure Equaliser™) tubes are fitted inside the cabinet to nullify internal pressure and improve frequency response.
