Q Acoustics 3050i Floorstanding Speaker Pair

Q Acoustics 3050i floor standing speakers take design and technological principles from the Concept 500s to deliver a stunning sonic performance. They utilize point-to-point (P2P™) bracing techniques to reduce cabinet resonance for a purer sound and more accurate soundstage. This was paired with Helmholtz Pressure Equalizer (HPE™) technology to eliminate sympathetic resonance. The 3050i speakers have 165mm and 22mm precision drivers. The 22mm decoupled, high-frequency driver with a wide surround creates a wide and even dispersion of stereo. 3050i 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. This allows the tweeter to perform with dramatically reduced interference.

Features:

• Striking floor standing Speakers with twin 165mm and 22mm precision drivers
• The Q 3050i cabinet uses Point-to-Point (P2PTM) bracing techniques to reduce intrusive cabinet vibrations for a purer sound
• HPE™ technology eliminates sympathetic resonance within the enclosures by equalizing air pressure within the 3050i cabinet
• Conventional terminal panel cut-outs have been removed, giving greatly improved structural integrity to the enclosures and new low profile binding posts
• Uses a 22mm decoupled High-Frequency Driver with a wide surround creating a wide even dispersion of stereo

LEADING TECHNOLOGY; OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE

The Q 3050i speakers boast a range of unique technologies including HPE™ and P2P™ to ensure these floor-standing speakers deliver a truly exceptional sound.
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 Q 3050i to reduce cabinet resonance. This technology is perfect for taller loudspeakers that tend to resonate at a single favored frequency.

Q Acoustics P2P™ bracing across the 3000i Series supports the parts of the enclosure that need to be stiffened making the enclosures exceptionally rigid, improving the focus of the stereo image, and giving the soundstage more accuracy than in previous ranges.

HIGH-FREQUENCY DRIVER UNIT FOR AN UNALTERED SOUND

Q 3050i 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.
Whichever 3000i model you choose the cone is precision formed from impregnated and coated paper and teamed 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 resonances.

BEAUTIFUL INSIDE & OUT

The Q 3050i range features all new enclosure aesthetics and offers 4 new contemporary finishes; Graphite Grey, English Walnut, Carbon Black, and Arctic White. All are finished with an attractive chrome bezel around each driver and feature magnetic speaker grilles.

Low-profile binding posts have been incorporated into the Q 3050i with sockets deep enough to accept 4mm Banana Plugs. This floor-standing speaker can be positioned very close to a rear wall even when banana plugs rather than spades or bare wires are used.
