Introduction

Thank you for purchasing Q Acoustics.

This manual is intended to take you through setup and installation and will help provide optimum performance from the product.

Please read the instructions, important safety information and warnings carefully before installation and use, to ensure the safe and satisfactory operation of this product.

We hope you enjoy the Q Acoustics experience.

The Q Acoustics 3000 series is a range of loudspeakers designed to meet the highest expectations of dedicated 2-channel audiophiles and discerning movie enthusiasts.

The range comprises:

3010: Compact bookshelf speaker with a 100 mm bass driver.

3020: Bookshelf speaker with a 125 mm bass driver.

3050: Floorstander with two 165 mm bass drivers

3070S: 140 Watt active subwoofer with 2 x 165 mm drivers.

3090C: Centre channel with 2 x 100 mm bass drivers.

3050 speakers are bi-wireable. All the loudspeakers may be operated close to TV monitors with no ill-effects with the exception of the 3070S which should not be operated within 500mm of TV screens monitors or other magnetically sensitive equipment. Plasma and LCD screens are unaffected.

Before making any connections to your loudspeakers make sure that all active units in your system are switched off at the mains.

When switching on your sound system or changing input sources, set the main volume control at a low level. Turn up the level gradually.

Never play your sound system at full volume. The position of the volume control is deceptive and does not indicate the power level of the system. Using very high volume settings may damage your hearing.

Do not connect your loudspeaker terminals to the mains supply.

Do not expose your loudspeakers to excessive cold, heat, humidity or sunlight.

If you play your loudspeakers without their grilles on, be careful to protect the drive units from damage.

Do not use makeshift stands. Fit the Q Acoustics dedicated stand according to the instructions and using any fixings provided. Your dealer will advise you.

Do not dismantle the loudspeaker. You will invalidate the warranty.

Unpacking your loudspeakers

Unpack the speakers fully. Lift the speakers from the cartons by holding the cabinets. Do not touch the driver units or use the protective bags to lift them. The 3050 and 3070S are heavy - get assistance to lift them if necessary.

When manoeuvring loudspeakers, do not drag them across the floor as this may cause damage - lift them before moving them.

In the carton you will find: The loudspeaker/s and this product manual.

In addition the packing for the following models contains:

3050: Rear stabiliser and spike covers for each speaker. An Allen key to adjust the spikes once fitted.

3070S: A mains power cord or cords, spikes and spike covers.

Check the product carefully. If any items are damaged or missing, report this to your dealer as soon as possible.

Retain the packing for future transport. If you dispose of the packing, please do so following all recycling regulations in your area.

Preparation

Spikes are sharp. Exercise care!

Never place a spiked loudspeaker where it can cause damage!

Always move your loudspeakers by lifting them - never drag them!

Attach the rear stabiliser - 3050

Thread the spikes fitted with locking nuts half way into the base and return the loudspeaker to the upright position. (If you have a wood or stone floor push a spike protector over each spike before turning the speaker upright) When the speaker is the right way up, insert the Allen key into each rear spike from the top and adjust all the spikes in and out until the loudspeaker is level and stable.

Use screws provided to secure feet as shown.

Foam Bung

The 3000 series speakers are rear ported and designed to work best with some space behind them i.e. 200mm or so away from a wall. If you position your speakers close to a wall / corner then the foam bungs should be inserted into the rear ports or there could be too much bass.

Ensure the bungs are fitted snugly into the port without inserting them too far. You will find the level of bass is reduced but definition and bass extension is increased. Experiment to see what you prefer and try making small changes to the position of the speaker to optimise the final result.

3050

The 3050 loudspeakers should be positioned at least 200mm from a back wall and 500mm from the side walls. Placing the speakers closer to the wall will increase bass but could cause the sound to boom and lack precision and detail. The speakers should be 2m - 4m apart and central to the seated listener. Turning the speakers slightly inwards will sharpen a stereo image but may cause narrowing of the sound source.

>500 mm 2m - 4m >200 mm 0-30° 2m - 4m

3010 and 3020

The 3010 and 3020 are ideally mounted on Q Acoustics floor stands or wall mounted. If you are stand mounting, a simple guide is that the treble unit should be at ear level to a seated listener. Wall mounted speakers may be mounted slighter higher with the speaker angled down. Stand mounted speakers should be treated as floorstanding speakers except that the speaker may be placed a little closer to the back wall. Shelf mounting is also possible.

An optional bracket designed specifically to wall mount the Q Acoustics 3010, 3020 and 3090C is available from your dealer. Floor stands for the 3010 and 3020 are also available. Be prepared to experiment to find the best setup for your taste in your particular listening room.

Effects loudspeakers

3090C

The 3090C is designed to be operated close to a TV screen and central to it. It should be placed immediately above or below the screen. If you have a Plasma or LCD monitor, mount the 3090C to the wall or other suitable surface immediately above or below the screen using the Q-Acoustics Wall Bracket. If not, consider placing the TV on a cabinet with the 3090C on a secure shelf immediately below the TV.

Surround Speakers

There are recommendations from Dolby labs for 5.1 effects speakers. Surround speakers should be mounted on either side of the listener, slightly behind the listening position. The speakers should be sited facing inward either mounted on the side walls of the room or if the room is large, on high stands and with their centres above ear level to a seated listener.

Connecting Passive Loudspeakers

Terminals and Connectors

The 3050 is bi-wireable. A bi-wireable crossover has four terminals. The upper pair of terminals connects to the treble (HF) speaker and the lower pair to the bass (LF) speaker/s. As supplied the crossovers are fitted with removable links to connect the terminal pairs. This permits you to connect the loudspeaker conventionally using one pair of cables or in bi-wired mode with two pairs. The 3010, 3020 and 3090C have standard two terminal crossovers.

Loudspeaker Cables

Specialist loudspeaker cables will offer a higher standard of reproduction than general purpose 'bell' or 'zip' wire. Use cable with generous amounts of copper for the front and centre channels. Thin cables reduce the bass and restrict the dynamic range. Surround (rear) channels are less critical.

Speaker cable has a stripe or tracer along one core. By convention this is connected to the positive terminals. The cables connecting the amplifier to the front loudspeakers should ideally be the same length. Never join cables - use complete lengths.

Preparing Cables

Split the cable to a depth of about 40 mm. Bare the wire to a depth of 10mm and twist the ends to gather any stray wires. Crop the cable leaving 7mm of bare wire exposed.

Connecting a Terminal

Unscrew the terminal anticlockwise to expose the mounting hole in the base of the terminal column.

Insert the bare end of the cable into the hole. Re-tighten the terminal fully hand tight. Make sure there are no stray wires which could touch adjacent terminals. In the EU it is against safety regulations to use 4mm loudspeaker plugs.

Stereo Connections

Standard Connections

Connect the RED (+) terminal of the RIGHT loudspeaker to the RED, Positive (+) terminal on the RIGHT channel of the amplifier. Connect the BLACK (−) terminal of the loudspeaker to the matching BLACK, Negative (−) terminal of the amplifier. Repeat this procedure for the LEFT channel.

In the case of the 3050 you may use any convenient Positive(+) or Negative (−) terminal. Refer to the illustration below.

Bi-Wiring

Directly connecting the treble and bass networks of a loudspeaker to an amplifier improves both bass performance and dynamic range.

To bi-wire: Prepare two twin cables for each loudspeaker. Unscrew all the loudspeaker terminals and remove both links. Now connect the treble terminals and the bass terminals to the amplifier following the procedure described in Standard Wiring. Refer to the illustration below.

When your speakers are connected: Switch on the system and play some music at moderate level. Fine tune the speaker placement to suit.
