Summary

    The ideal amp for all your music

    The "A" in ARCAM stands for Amplification - this is our core competance. The A5 is the latest in more than 45 years of amplifier design and manufacture, going back to our first product in 1976 - the A&R Cambridge A60 amplifier. New components and materials have been painstakingly analysed and reviewed to ensure brilliant sound quality.

This provides up to 24-bit HD audio for the best sound quality from your phone or tablet, no matter what you are playing.

    The 3000c Family

    The perfect entry-point into a modern audiophile world or as a cost-effective speaker upgrade, the 3000c family is comprised of the 3010c bookshelf, 3020c standmount, 3030c larger standmount, 3050c floorstander, with the 3090c centre-channel completing the line-up for a home cinema speaker set-up. Whether as a stereo or 5.1 arrangement, the 3000c series has the talent to bring your music or movies vividly to life.

    Genuine Innovation

    This new speaker series features a C3 Continuous Curved Cone™ mid/bass driver design, first introduced in award-winning 5000 series and the M40 powered micro-tower speakers. Q Acoustics latest technical platform elevates the 3000c above its peers to deliver a sound defined by an articulate and fast mid-range, controlled but powerful bass dynamics, and nuanced and detailed high frequencies, alongside an exceptional soundstage not previously experienced at this level.

    Contemporary Looks

    The 3000c series evolves the 3000i’s signature look and feel to reflect developing taste in interior design. Continuing Q Acoustics’ reductive design ethos and echoing the unadorned nature of the C3 profile, the 3000c is more visually minimal with no discerning joints or bolts. A new elegant one-piece driver trim, in satin nickel and satin chrome (white only) offers a sophisticated enhancement at the front of the cabinet, while all new finishes complete the range’s design elevation.

    C3 Continuous Curved Cone™

    A genuine advancement in elements of mid/bass driver design, the C3 Continuous Curved Cone™ profile is the result of extensive research and expert engineering to combine the bass performance benefits of a traditional straight conic cone with the high/mid-range frequency control of a flared cone.

    By creating a single, smooth, continuous curve profile, the advantages are manifold. Firstly, its excellent dispersion, alongside its well-controlled frequency response, enables smoother integration with the tweeter. Deep bass dynamics are also superior, with this and tighter, damped low-end sound allowing more flexibility in placement of speakers near the wall boundaries of the listening room.

    P2P™ (Point to Point) Bracing

    Q Acoustics P2P™ (Point to Point™) bracing used throughout the 3000c series supports the parts of the enclosure that need to be stiffened making the new enclosures exceptionally rigid, improving the focus of the stereo image and giving the soundstage more accuracy than ever before.

    HPE™ (Helmholtz Pressure Equalizer)

    The 3020c is, like all floorstanding loudspeakers, vulnerable to internal build-up of pressure that causes unwanted standing waves and colouration. To prevent this occurring, specially designed HPE™ (Helmholtz Pressure Equaliser™) tubes are fitted inside the cabinet to nullify internal pressure and improve frequency response.

    5m QED 79 Strand Speaker Cable

    Entry-level speaker cable that combines convenience and performance. The figure '8' construction allows 79 Strand to be used in the most demanding placement situations. 99.999% Oxygen Free High Purity Copper (OFHPC) , Low Density Polyethylene Insulation (LDPI), Construction - 2 x 2.50mm2 conductors.
