Leading Techology Ensuring The Most Open Soundstage
Q Acoustics 3030i bookshelf speaker is the latest addition to the Award-winning Q Acoustics 3000i speaker range. It’s designed to deliver the biggest, most commanding sound ever achieved by a speaker of this type and price. Featuring a 165mm (6.5 inches) mid/bass driver developed from the powerful 3050i floorstander, along with an optimised motor, 3030i has bass extension and control superior to that of any nominal rival. Factor in the same tweeter and mounting as used in the 3050i floorstanding speakers, and 3030i redefines the scale and fidelity available from such a competitively priced stand mounted speakers.
Sliding in between the 3020i bookshelf speaker and 3050i floorstanding speaker. Retaining the elegant, compact appearance of a standmount speaker, it derives its woofer design from the much larger and more powerful 3050i floor standing model.
Power, With Control
The 3030i features an oversized 165mm mid/bass driver developed from the big, powerful 3050i floorstander, and it’s also fitted with that speaker’s 22mm decoupled tweeter. The result is extraordinarily substantial bass presence, beautifully poised and eloquent mid-range reproduction, and crisp, spacious high frequencies. Hear all the power and detail of your music.
Braced For Action
Like the whole of the 3000i range, the 3030i features Q Acoustics’ unique point-to-point bracing. This computer-aided process provides targeted and precise cabinet support, so the cabinet is supremely rigid and unwanted vibrations are banished.
Beautiful Inside And Out
Not only does the entire 3000i range features all new enclosure aesthetics but it also offers 4 new contemporary finishes. The new 3030i speakers are available in the four standard finishes of Arctic White, Graphite Grey, English Walnut, Carbon Black. All are highlighted with an attractive chrome bezel around each driver and feature magnetic speaker grilles.
Dynamic And Detailed
The all-new 165mm mid/bass driver is a precision-formed cone made from impregnated and coated paper, and is teamed with an optimised motor. Because it’s capable of such prodigious low-frequency presence, the 22mm tweeter above it is decoupled – so it’s isolated from the vibrations of the mid/bass driver. Which means clearer, purer sound. The new low profile binding posts make it easy to place your speakers close to the wall in your chosen listening room.
Accessories
Our 3030i bookshelf speaker can be accessorized with the 3030FSi floorstand.
The 3030i stand is designed and sonically optimized for the latest 3030i speakers. Precision laser-cut steel construction and acoustically damped columns ensure quality and performance to complement the 3030i loudspeakers. As the 3030i bookshelf speaker is larger than the 3010i and 3020i bookshelf speakers, we designed a special 3030i floor stands for the new model.
For an equally solid stance on any flooring the base is fitted with adjustable, locking carpet spikes with optional rubber caps for an equally solid stance on wooden or tiled floors to ensure you get the very best sound performance from your speakers.

Reviews:
"Q Acoustics' latest addition to its well-regarded 3000i range of speakers is a thoroughly engaging listen, treating to the same fine sound that the rest of the lineup offers, but with added low-end presence and authority."
Trusted Reviews, 5 Stars, Highly Recommended
"The 3030is are a welcome addition to the 3000i range. They have all the attributes of their smaller siblings, but add a huge slice of authority into the proceedings...It all makes for a hugely rewarding listening experience; one that had us playing track after track long after the test session ended...Simply put, you can buy these with confidence. "
What Hi-Fi?, 5 stars
"The Q Acoustics new 3030i bookshelf speakers are nothing short of a design triumph...If you want a great-sounding pair of bookshelf speakers with more bass than usual, and you are on a budget, there’s not much to touch the 3030i. Highly recommended."
Forbes
"The bass is structured and deep. Airy and fruity, the top of the spectrum shows nuance and great qualities of expression. Everything is perfectly integrated, extroverted without ever overwhelming or tiring."
Diapason HiFi, D'or
"A lovely looking, really well-built speaker, that has really punchy and full bass, while being easy to set-up. They are more than worth of this award."
Pursuit Perfect System, Serious Bang for Buck
"Right now, if you were to ask me what the most capable speaker you can buy for under £500 is, I could not in good conscience say anything other than this one, which is why the Q Acoustics 3030i has to be seen as the current Best In Class."
AVForums, Best In Class
"Even at twice the price it would still be a no-brainer...A stone-cold bargain."
