Q Acoustics 3050i Floorstanding Speakers
The Q Acoustics 3050i floorstanding speakers are full of energy and surpass their predecessors on so many levels. Q Acoustics have delivered hifi speakers of an extremely high quality and have squeezed even more performance from their mid-level stereo speakers.
Simply put, the Q Acoustics 3050i Floorstanding Speakers are beautiful, with twin 165mm (6.5 in) and 22mm (0.9 in) precision drivers, this can be floor-mounted using rubber feet or spikes, also featuring rear outrigger plinths for extra stability.
The internal structure of the Q Acoustics 3050i hifi speakers have been designed to incorporate what Q Acoustics have learned about minimising organ piping using Helmholtz Pressure Equalisation (HPE™). This greatly improves the linearity of the bass performance and the cabinet uses Point-to-Point (P2P™) bracing techniques to reduce intrusive cabinet vibrations both coming from our experience with Concept Series.
Foam bungs are provided for the rear-facing ports to help with less than ideal room positioning. The level of bass can be reduced to compensate, but definition and bass extension are increased.
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 (We always recommend QED Speaker Cables).
Leading Technology, Pioneering Innovation
At the heart of the Q Acoustics 3050i speakers is a wealth of technology to ensure these are a true step up from an already highly awarded series. P2P™ bracing has been introduced to help keep the enclosure extra quiet, HPE™ to eliminate sympathetic resonance, equalising air pressure within the cabinet and a 22mm High Frequency Driver with a micro-fibre soft dome with wide surround which helps to create a wide, even dispersion of stereo. Just a few of the many technologies employed to elevate the 3000i Series.
P2P™
Q Acoustics P2P™ (Point to Point) bracing across the 3000i series supports the parts of the enclosure that need to be stiffened making the new enclosures exceptionally rigid, improving the focus of the stereo image and giving the soundstage more accuracy than ever before.
HPE™
HPE™ (Helmholtz Pressure Equalizer) technology designed to convert pressure to velocity and reduce the overall pressure gradient within the speaker enclosure, has been applied to the Q3050i floorstanding speakers to reduce cabinet resonance. This technology is perfect for taller loudspeakers that tend to resonate at a single favoured frequency.
High-Frequency Driver Unit
3000i Series tweeters are decoupled from the baffle via a compliant suspension system. Vibrations from the woofer, which can impair the performance of the tweeter are isolated allowing the tweeter to perform with dramatically reduced interference.
