- Uses a 22mm decoupled High-Frequency Driver with a wide surround, creating a wide, even dispersion of the stereo image
- Low Profile Terminals – recessed cut-out reduces cabinet noise and allows them to be in proximity to rear walls
- New low-profile binding posts have been incorporated with sockets deep enough to accept 4mm (0.16 in) Banana Plugs
OPEN SOUNDSTAGE FROM SLIM-LINE SPEAKER
The focus of any great loudspeaker is to produce an open, ‘being there’ sound and the Q 3010i does just that despite its compact size. Boasting room-filling sound with its 100mm (4 in) and 22mm (0.9 in) precision drivers, focusing on the 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
The 3010i maintains the same acoustically optimal front profile, but has 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
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 feature 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.
