Q Acoustics is continuing to add to its 3000i Series. Following the launch of a new subwoofer late last year (the Q B12), it's now announced a standmount speaker to join the existing 3010i and 3020i standmounts, and 3050i floorstander.

Priced £330 per pair and available from February, the 3030i has been designed to deliver a more powerful bass performance than its standmount stablemates, while still retaining their compact form and stylish aesthetic.

Again it's a two-way speaker, using a 0.9in tweeter. Yet the midbass driver here is a 6.5in design (rather than the 5in of the 3020i), and features a new motor assembly. Q Acoustics say it has been optimised for use in the relatively smallscale – 200(w) x 325(h) x 329(d)mm – cabinet, and can muster a 46HZ bass response.

As with other models in the 3000i Series, the speaker will be available in Arctic White, Carbon Black, Graphite Grey and English Walnut finishes, and features recessed binding posts and P2P (Point-to-Point) cabinet bracing.
