Q Acoustics 3030C

The Q Acoustics 3030C is the largest standmount in the 3000c series: its 142 mm C3 mid/bass driver and 12.5 litre cabinet take the response down to 48 Hz. It is supplied as a pair.

3030C: the standmount with the deepest bass in the series

Among the standmount models in the series this is the one that reaches lowest, thanks to its 142 mm mid/bass driver and an enclosure almost twice the volume of the 3020C. The diaphragm follows the C3 Continuous Curved Cone profile: one uninterrupted curve that brings together the bass output of a straight cone and the midrange cleanliness of a flared one, with even dispersion and good tolerance of room position. A large magnet gives the motor the strength this geometry calls for and limits harmonic distortion.

Higher up sits a 22 mm tweeter built on Concept series principles: an airtight unit, mechanically separated from the front panel so that it is affected neither by internal pressure nor by the mid/bass driver beside it. The vented inner chamber reduces distortion and makes the 2.5 kHz crossover possible. The cabinet uses P2P (Point to Point) braces, which stiffen the panels at the points where it matters and keep the stereo image precise.

Stated response is 48 Hz-30 kHz at -6 dB, with 86.5 dB sensitivity, 6 ohms nominal and a 3.9 ohm minimum; the suggested amplifier ranges from 25 to 90 W. Each speaker measures 32.4 x 20.5 x 32.9 cm and weighs 7.5 kg. Grilles and foam bungs are included, and the driver surrounds have a satin metallic finish. The dedicated stand is the Q 3030FS, sized for this cabinet.
