QAcoustics 3050i

pair of floorstanding speakers

Our 3050i floorstanders build on the design and engineering principles of the Concept 500 to deliver outstanding sonic performance. They use point-to-point (P2P™) bracing techniques to reduce cabinet resonance for purer sound and a more accurate soundstage. This has been combined with Helmholtz Pressure Equalizer (HPE™) technology to eliminate sympathetic resonance. The 3050i speakers feature precision 165mm and 22mm drivers. The 22mm decoupled high-frequency driver with wide surround creates a wide, even stereo dispersion. The 3050i tweeters are decoupled from the baffle via a compliant suspension system. Vibrations from the woofer, which can degrade tweeter performance, are isolated. This allows the tweeter to operate with significantly reduced interference.

Leading technology; Outstanding performance

The Q 3050i speakers boast a range of exclusive technologies, including HPE™ and P2P™, to ensure these floorstanders deliver truly exceptional sound.


HPE™ (Helmholtz Pressure Equalizer) technology, designed to convert pressure into velocity and reduce the overall pressure gradient within the speaker cabinet, has been applied to the Q 3050i to reduce cabinet resonance. This technology is ideal for taller speakers that tend to resonate at a single preferred frequency. (** Q 3050i only)


Q Acoustics P2P™ (Point to Point) bracing across the entire 3000i Series supports the parts of the enclosure that need to be stiffened, making them exceptionally rigid, improving the focus of the stereo image and giving the soundstage greater precision than previous ranges. (*entire series)
High frequency driver unit for unaltered sound

The Q 3050i tweeters are decoupled from the baffle via a compliant suspension system. Vibrations from the woofer, which can degrade tweeter performance, are isolated allowing the tweeter to operate with significantly reduced interference.



Mid/low driver

Whichever 3000i model you choose, the cone is precision-formed from impregnated, coated paper and paired with a newly developed low-hysteresis rubber surround. The coated paper cone provides the optimum balance between stiffness and self-damping, meaning it can accelerate without flexing and stop very precisely without unwanted resonances.



Beautiful inside and out

The Q 3050i features a completely new cabinet aesthetic and offers 4 new contemporary 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.

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