## Description

From the brand

Review: Great cost effective upgrade to hifi - Current set up is a marantz CD6006 cd player, marantz PM6007 amp. The speakers are Q Acoustic 2020 which I had from a midi system. I noticed all though the sound staging was brilliant the system need a bit of bass and I was slightly underwhelmed. Got to say it’s out done my expectations and elevated my hifi bringing more clarity to the bass and drums. I would go as far as saying I am enjoying the sound as much as my more top end Cyrus monobloc with Mission floorstanding speakers bi wired, it’s that good. Acoustic tracks sound better with than without, so I imagine most genres would benefit from this addition. I possibly could have gone down the speaker upgrade instead but for the money it’s been a great upgrade. There’s plenty left in as I set the recommended settings and had to turn it down to 33% from 50%. I am running it with an desertcart basic RCA cable. The subwoofer comes with spikes or rubber feet to go over the spikes. I think the only improvement would be to provide dedicated rubber feet alternative as I noticed the rubber feet come of easily when setting it up. I also like the hole underneath to feed cables into the recessed area which has a magnetic cover to keep things tidy. The level and crossover buttons are still accessible but are flush with the back plate. They seem easily to adjust so depending on what you are playing you can easily adjust without moving the unit. Possibly I would have preferred the rocker switch for on off on the back accessible otherwise it remains in standby unless you switch off at plug or take magnetic cover off and use rocker switch.
Review: Great sub at a great price but... - It sounds great with surprisingly deep, powerful tones and It looks great too but now I've lived with it a few weeks the black speaker grille is really jarring. I have the QA 3050i's, the 3030i's and the 2000Ci which is basically the entire cinema package and they all have very pale grey cloth on the grilles. They all look great so the black in the sub looks really out of place. That is my only complaint, it's brilliant in every other way. Suitable for small to mid sized rooms.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can it be placed on its side under a sofa?**
A: Only if the sofa had 8 inch legs and you want the speaker firing into a carpet.

**Q: Will be using this solely for loud, heavy and quick punchy bass will it it be able to handle that and reproduce good quality?**
A: It can handle all of those, however this will also be dependent on room size, positioning, quality of signal input and interconnects. Please remember that it’s only an 8” sub so it won’t deliver really low frequencies that shake out your fillings! I have a medium sized room and lay it flat (grill downwards) with domed rubber isolating feet. I have an Audiolab 6000a amp that runs it on QED interconnects coupled with B&O 706s2’s I mainly listen to Dance / Electronic music including DNB from a lossless Wi-Fi source (iTunes) and it’s incredibly balanced across bass, mid and highs. Highly recommend!

**Q: Can use in US 120w power input?**
A: Good Morning

Unfortunately you cannot use the 3060S subwoofer in the US with the 120w power input. You would need to purchase the US version which is available from Fidelity Imports LLC.

Kind regards

Samantha

**Q: Is an l/r rca best for this sub or a 'y' type with the l/r at the amp pre out to the left side 'white mono' port? cheers**
A: Y

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another quality product from Q Acoustics.
*by P***3 on 9 November 2024*

I purchased the Q Acoustics M20 powered speakers, but although these are a great speaker on their own I feel that they are missing a little of the lower frequency bass. I did some research and decided on the Q Ac 3060s subwoofer and it has completely lifted the overall sound experience, it’s a fantastic speaker of a really high quality, at a fair price. All you need to do is back off the crossover and bring it up to add the bass detail to your taste and bring the level up to find your own preference.
