Q Acoustics 3060s Slimline Subwoofer Review

[@jamesgreen3931]

Love your energy, you were made for the internet :D Thank you for the video!

[@UTILITARIANTVUK]

Thanks!

[@johnsonsteven664]

I’ve had one of these subs since January and it’s developed a light buzz’s humming sound

[@UTILITARIANTVUK]

Have you tried a different cable?

[@johnsonsteven664]

Does it with no cable plugged in

[@davmo72]

I've only the bookshelf Qs so I went for the B12 for bass as they need all the help they can get! It has exact same interface as this.

[@ChickensinHighDef]

Love getting new videos from ya!

Always impressed with Q Acoustics visual design. They also have that nice flap to cover up the subwoofer gubbins. Not seen that on other brands.

Hi there, i purchased this sub myself. It is very musically gifted. How is the sub for you now. Is it still producing good bass? I prefered to have the levels set at the 2pm position. Unfortunately with just 6 films put through it and some hours listening to music, a nasty rattle has set in. Ive sent it off to be repaired. Diagnosis is yet to be offered. To my tastes, i do not believe i had overdriven the speaker. It is concerning concidering this sub is designed to sit with the 2 different 3000 series 5.1 speaker package, there for should handle a good workload.. I also use a 2 channel amp, with my player handling the decoding.

[@davidgodal98]

Do you know the difference between this and the 7060s model? Specs seems to be pretty much identical

[@UTILITARIANTVUK]

The only difference is the cabinet. The 7060s is matched with the 7000 series.

@@UTILITARIANTVUK Ah okey, Thank you :)

@@UTILITARIANTVUK nice review btw!

[@adelin081]

When you say you turned the volume all the way, does that mean you put the subwooder on max?(at 10 out of 10)

[@terrykemp8131]

Martin. Has it made a big enough difference to you existing audio set up and is it good enough to keep.? Perhaps putting the sub further away from the towers may improve the sound.

[@UTILITARIANTVUK]

I recently swapped out the speakers for bookshelves and it sounds way better. It could be that the amp is sending too much bass to the towers?

[@harrykain285]

Did you try switching the phase while paired with the towers?also placing the sub in different areas of the room,subs rarely sound they're best placed right beside a tower speaker,just a suggestion.

[@UTILITARIANTVUK]

@@harrykain285 Yeah, tried moving the sub and switching the phase. It probably would've helped if my amp had a high pass filter for the main speakers.

[@billybobby7607]

@@UTILITARIANTVUK you may need to use bass management/ high pass. That will help. Means speaking just receiving the frequency they can handle and adjust crossover for room boom, then bring in sub to help. Big speakers in a small room reproducing LF plus a sub can be a disaster

[@billybobby7607]

@@harrykain285 needs adjustable phase. Switch isn't good enough, need to get them time aligned. Plus subwoofer EQ is important

[@skeezer180]

Hi mate love the shorts look hope you had the heater on anyway I hve just bought the rega elex r for my lintons sounds great a little cheaper than the leak 230 The elex r is purely analogue. I still have the leak 130 the rega is more suitable. Cheers

[@UTILITARIANTVUK]

I've heard the Rega has a very decent phono stage?

[@nocnymarek7645]

Has this sub option to high level connection?

[@KITFLETCH1]

I wonder if the voices sound better because the crossover to sub means speakers doing less work means better definition in mids?

[@kevinsheppard6085]

Your spot on with that, the woofers on the towers are doing less than normal so appear much more clear.

[@ChickensinHighDef]

I've had that experience after adding a sub. And my sub is not anything special at all.

[@billybobby7607]

@@kevinsheppard6085 no they don't be doing less. If he's sending full range they're doing the exact same thing . Stereo amps do nothing to the signal to the mains Only way would be to use a AVR. That will perform bass management m

[@thomasalexand]

My Q-acoustics subwoofer rests on 4 toilet rolls. I had to do this as it's a wooden floor and the subwoofer is next to a drinks cabinet. You can imagine - as in shakin' all over. Unsurprisingly, the vibrating cabinet and the clinking of drinking glasses didn't add to my music enjoyment. So someone suggested loo rolls. Problem solved.

[@matthewgreco]

Great review 👌🏻

[@skeezer180]

I have them with rel 5ti sounds good

[@hclandscapes]

Should of got two of those subs , I think you would get much better results

[@AbsoluteFidelity]

Honestly, thats too small and weak of a sub to pair well with the big Oberons. A small sub like that would do wonders for a bookshelf though, especially when you high pass the speakers

[@UTILITARIANTVUK]

Absolutely, paired it with some bookshelves and it sounded way better. The Marantz NR1200 doesn't have a high pass filter which probably compounded the issue with the Dali's.

[@AbsoluteFidelity]

@@UTILITARIANTVUK lesson here is get the biggest baddest sub you can afford, financially and space wise, especially when you already have floorstanders. 😂

[@billybobby7607]

@@AbsoluteFidelity yeah pointless having that q sub with floorstanders. I'd be looking for good 10" sub for music

[@nocnymarek7645]

​@@billybobby7607 Try REL T7x. Invis7ble but n8cely extend sound dotage.

[@billybobby7607]

My sub weights 8.2 X as much as that w acoustics sub. And I have two of them. Haha 😅
