The compact 3040c fllorstanding speaker from Q Acoustics provides more bass and clarity in a smaller package with a sensible price.<\/p>\n
Q ACOUSTICS<\/p>\n
You\u2019ve got a nice hi-fi set up with a pair of compact bookshelf speakers, but there\u2019s something missing; the bass just sounds a bit light. The solution is to upgrade to a pair of floorstanding speakers, but the price puts you off and some of them are so large they look out of place in most living rooms. Does that sound familiar? <\/p>\n
British audio brand Q Acoustics<\/a> has come up with a solution with the launch of its new 3040c floorstanding loudspeakers. Q Acoustic says that music fans searching for a sonic step-up from a bookshelf speaker can rediscover their favorite tracks and albums on a larger scale thanks to more room-filling sound, while not sacrificing valuable living space or interior style. <\/p>\n Q Acoustics has a strong and loyal following but customers were asking for a more compact and agile floorstanding speaker with a sensible price. So, as the final piece to slot into the Q Acoustic 3000c series of loudspeakers, the 3040c offers a combination of performance, design and technological advances in a floorstanding design for more intimate surroundings.<\/p>\n With no visible joints or bolts, the 3040c has a minimalist aesthetic, fronted by a one-piece satin nickel and satin chrome driver trim. Four finishes \u2014 Satin Black, Satin White, Pink Oak and Claro Walnut \u2014 are available for matching interior styles.<\/p>\n Q ACOUSTICSDriver Platform<\/p>\n The 3040c uses Q Acoustics\u2019 core driver platform \u2014 the C3 (pronounced \u2018C-cubed\u2019) \u2014 a Continuous Curved Cone with a mid\/bass profile. The C3 driver is touted as a rare breakthrough in loudspeaker driver design because it combines the powerful bass response of a traditional straight conic cone with the midrange clarity and high-frequency control of a flared design. The result is twin 4.75-inch C3 mid\/bass drivers in the 3040c for a controlled bass performance, midrange and a smoother integration with the high-frequency driver.<\/p>\n The new speakers were inspired by Q Acoustic\u2019s flagship Concept series; the 3040c has a tweeter with a floating design that\u2019s hermetically sealed and mechanically isolated from the cabinet\u2019s baffle. By reducing internal pressure and mid\/bass vibrations from coloring the high frequencies, Q Acoustics claims the design, combined with a vented inner chamber, offers ultra-low distortion. This allows for a lower crossover point and seamless transition between drivers. <\/p>\n Internally, the 3040c has Point-to-Point bracing fitted to internal areas of the cabinet that are prone to low-end frequency vibrations. This reinforcement is designed to deliver a more focused stereo image for a wider and better-controlled soundstage. <\/p>\n The 3040c uses Q Acoustics\u2019 core driver platform \u2014 the C3 (pronounced \u2018C-cubed\u2019) \u2014 a Continuous Curved Cone with a mid\/bass profile.<\/p>\n Q ACOUSTICSLowering The Pressure<\/p>\n Like all floorstanding loudspeakers, the 3040c is vulnerable to internal build-up of pressure that can cause unwanted standing waves and coloration. To prevent this happening, specially designed Helmholtz Pressure Equalizers tubes are fitted inside the cabinet so that internal pressures are nullified and frequency response is improved. <\/p>\n Attention to industrial design also plays a key role in the 3040c \u2018s design. Clean lines, Q Acoustics\u2019 signature curved profile, premium finishes and understated detailing all help the speaker to integrate naturally into modern interiors. Rather than competing with a living space, Q Acoustics says the 3040c complements it. <\/p>\n With no visible joints or bolts, the 3040c has a minimalist aesthetic, fronted by a one-piece satin nickel and satin chrome driver trim. Four finishes \u2014 Satin Black, Satin White, Pink Oak and Claro Walnut \u2014 are available for matching interior styles. <\/p>\n Like its larger brother, the 3050c, the 3040c speakers feature a solid aluminum stabilizer design, with top-adjustable spikes for easy levelling. Additionally, the entire range inherits the 5000 series\u2019 low-profile terminal panel, complete with recessed binding posts that enable a neater placement closer to the wall. <\/p>\n Pricing and Availability: <\/p>\n The Q Acoustics 3040c floorstanding speakers are available now in Satin Black, Satin White, Pin Oak and Claro Walnut.
