Q Acoustics 1000i Series

Introduction

The Q Acoustics 1000i series is a range of loudspeakers designed to meet
the highest expectations of dedicated 2-channel audiophiles and
discerningmovieenthusiasts.The range comprises:

1010i: Compact Bookshelf speaker witha100mmbass driver.

1020i: Bookshelf speaker with a125mmbassdriver.

1030i: Compact Floorstander with a 165mm bass driver

1050i: Floorstander with two 165mmbassdrivers

1000Ci: Centre channel withtwo100 mm bass drivers, which canbewall

mounted if required.

1000Si: 100 Watt active subwoofer with a 200 mm driver and signal
sensing for automatic power on/off.

All the passive speakers are bi-wireable with the exception of the 1010i
and 1000Ci.

All the loudspeakers may be operated close to TV monitors with no ill­effects with the exception of the 1000Si, which should not be operated
within 500mm of TV screens monitors or other magnetically sensitive
equipment. Plasma and LCD screensareunaffected.

Before making any connections to your loudspeakers make sure that all
active units in your system are switched off at the mains.

When switching on yoursoundsystem or changing input sources, set the
main volume control at alowlevel.Turn up the level gradually.

NEVER play your sound system at full volume. The position of the
volume control is deceptive and does not indicate the power level of the
system. Using very high volumesettingsmaydamageyour hearing.

DO NOT connect your loudspeakerterminalstothemains supply.

DO NOT expose your loudspeakers to excessive cold, heat, humidity or
sunlight.

If you play your loudspeakers withouttheir grilles on, be careful to protect
the drive units from damage.

DO NOT use makeshift stands. Fit the Q-Acoustics approved stand
according to the instructions and using any fixings provided. Your dealer
will advise you.

DO NOT dismantle the loudspeaker. You will invalidate the warranty.

Unpacking your loudspeakers

Unpack the speakers fully. Lift the speakers from the cartons by holding
the cabinets. Do notuse the polythene bags to lift them.The1030i, 1050i,
and 1000Si are heavy -getassistancetolift them if necessary.

When manoeuvring loudspeakers, do not drag them across the floor as
this may cause damage -liftthembeforemoving them.

In the carton youwillfind: The loudspeaker/s and this productmanual.

In addition the packing for the followingmodels contains:

1030i and 1050i: A plinth for each speaker, screws, an Allen key to
attach the stand and asetoffloorspikes and spike covers.

1010i, 1020i, 1000Ci: A set of four adhesivefeet.

1000Si: An IECpowercord suitable for the mains supply in yourarea.

Check the product carefully. If any items are damaged or missing, report
this to your dealer assoonaspossible.

Retain the packing for future transport. If you dispose of the packing,
please do so following allrecyclingregulationsinyour area.

Preparation

Spikes are sharp. Exercise care!
Never place a spiked loudspeaker where it can cause damage!
Always move your loudspeakers by lifting them - never drag them!

the screws properly.

Invert the stand and thread the four
long bolts through the base and
the pillar; line up the bolts with the
mounting holes in the bottom of
the speaker and tighten securely.

Make sure the recess in the stand
faces the rear of theloudspeaker.

Thread the spikes half way into the
base and returntheloudspeaker to
the upright position. (If you have a
wood or stone floor push a spike
protector over each spike before
turning the speaker upright)

When the speaker is the right way
up, insert the Allen key into each
spike from the top and adjust all
the spikes in and out until the
loudspeaker is level and stable.

Youwill need:

l5kg of dry sand - play sand

lA large, strong polythene

bag.

lA dry pouring jug.

Remove the bung in the rear
panel. Push the bag into the
chamber with the mouth of
the bag protruding at least
100 mm. Carefully pour (or
spoon) the sand into the bag.
When all the sand is in the
bag tie the mouth securely
and push the bag into the
chamber. Replace the bung.

1010i, 1020i,1000Ci

Each loudspeaker is
provided with four adhesive feet. If you are not wall mounting the
speakers, peel the backing off each foot and press a foot into place at
each corner of the bottompanel15mmin from each edge.

Positioning Passive Loudspeakers

Dolby and the double-D symbol are
trade marks of Dolby Laboratories.

1030i and 1050i

The 1030i and 1050i loudspeakers should be positioned at least 200mm
from a back wall and 500mm from the side walls. Placing the speakers
closer to the wall will increase bass but could cause the sound to boom
and lack precision and detail. Thespeakers should be 2m- 4m apart and
central to the seated listener. Turning the speakers slightly inwards will
sharpen a stereo image butmaycausenarrowingof the sound source.

1010i and 1020i

The 1010i and 1020i are ideally mounted on Q-Acoustics floor stands or
wall mounted. If you are stand mounting, a simple guide is that the treble
unit should be at ear level to a seated listener. Wall mounted speakers
may be mounted slighter higher with the speaker angled down. Stand
mounted speakers should be treated as floorstanding speakers except
that the speaker may be placed a little closer to the back wall. Shelf

mounting is also possible.

An optional bracket designed specifically to wall mount the Q Acoustics
1010i, 1020i and1000Ci is available from yourdealer. Floorstandsfor the
1010i and 1020i are alsoavailable.

Be prepared to experiment to find the best setup for your taste in your
particular listening room.

Effects loudspeakers

1000Ci

The 1000Ci is designed to be operated close to a TV screen and central
to it. It should be placed immediately above or below the screen. If you
are using aregular TV set, make surethat the TV is capableof adequately
supporting the speaker andhasa level top. If not, considerplacing the TV
on a cabinet with the1000Cionasecure shelf immediately below the TV.

If you have a Plasma or LCD monitor, mount the 1000Ci to the wall or
other suitable surface immediate ly above or below
the screen.

Surround Speakers

There are recommendations from Dolby labs for

5.1 effects speakers.

Surround speakers should be mounted on either
side of the listener, slightly behind the listening
position. The speakers should be sited facing
inward either mounted on the side walls of the
room or if the room is large, on high stands and
with their centres above ear level to a seated
listener.

Preliminaries

Unpack the subwoofer following theguidelinesgivenearlier.

The subwoofer is set to the voltage in your area. If you move to an area
with a different voltage, take the unit to a qualified technician to have the
voltage changed. This is somethingthatyoushouldnot do yourself.
Before connecting the subwoofer please make sure that all the active
units in your system areswitchedoffatthe mains.

Positioning the Subwoofer

Bass frequencies are substantially omnidirectional. Althoughthis means
that you can position the subwoofer almost anywhere, the stereo image
will still benefit by siting the subwoofer level with the front loudspeakers
and as central to the listening position as possible. This may not be
feasible in a multichannel system. If you place the subwoofer close to a
wall the bass will be re-inforced though in some locations the bass may
be boomy and indistinct. Donotplacethesubwoofer across a corner.

The subwoofer should be positioned close to a mains power source. Do
not use extension cables. Purchasealongerpower cord if necessary.

The MAINS ON/OFF switchisthe means of disconnecting this apparatus
from the mainsand is mounted onthe rear panel. There should be ample
free space between the rear of the cabinet and any wall or other object to
allow free unrestricted access tothisswitch.

When siting the subwoofer ensure the floor is sound with no loose
floorboards etc. The air movementfromthe subwoofer at high volumes is
substantial - do not place it close to soft furnishings or objects that may
rattle. Do not place objectsofanykindon the unit.

Prepare two lengths of twin core loudspeaker cable. Unscrew the high
level terminals on the rear of the subwoofer. Connect the RED (+)
terminal on the RIGHT subwoofer input to the RED, Positive (+) terminal
on the RIGHT channel of the amplifier. Connect the BLACK (–) terminal
on this input to the matching BLACK, Negative (–) terminal on the
amplifier. Repeat this procedure for the LEFT channel. Leave the front
loudspeakers connected. The internal circuitry of the subwoofer will
combine the front channels toproduceasinglecommon bass channel.

1000i Subwoofer - Operation

Switching On

Check that all system connectionsareproperlyandsecurely made.

Ensure that the subwoofer isswitchedoff.
Set the subwooferlevel control roughly halfway. Set the crossover control

to 70Hz.
Plug the supplied power cord into thesubwoofer and then into the mains

point. Switch on the power at the mains point and then switch the
ON/OFF switch on the subwoofer to ON. The POWER light on the
subwoofer rear panel will glowand the subwoofer is operational.

Setting Up and Use

As there is a close relationship between the subwoofer volume, its
physical position and the crossover frequency, mutual adjustments to all
three may benecessarybeforethe system is fully set up.

Level: The Level Control sets the volume of the subwoofer relative to the
other speakers in the system. Set a level that enhances the bass of the
system. There should be a seamless blend between the front speakers
and the subwoofer.Ifyoucan hear the subwoofer it’s too loud!

Crossover frequency: Set the crossover control according to the size
and low frequency extension of the front speakers. The role of the
subwoofer is to extend the bass response of the system and not to
increase the overall bass level. If the loudspeakers are large, a value
between 50 and 60 Hz is probably about right. With smaller speakers
such as the 1010i,thiscan be increased as far as90Hz.At higher settings
the subwoofer may become intrusive and low level detail and definition
may suffer.

As always the final settings should be determined by listening. You
should listen to a wide range of music at different volume settings while
doing the setup.

When setting upthe subwoofer, always bear in mindthat the human ear’s
sensitivity to bass varies enormously with the volume level, hence the
need for a wide rangeofprogrammematerialand sound levels.

Phase: The phase switch should be initially set at 0º. As room acoustics
and placement are important at very low frequencies the phase may
need to be set to 180º. One setting will offer fuller and more extended
bass than the other. As the effect can be quite subtle, especially with
small loudspeakers where relatively more bass is coming from the
subwoofer, extended listening and experimentation may be necessary
before the final decision ismade.

Auto Power On: This feature enables you to switch the main system on
and off withouthavingto remember to switch thesubwoofer on and off as
well.

The 1000Si has a built inlevel sensor. If there isno input, after a short time
the subwoofer will automatically power down into Standby mode. This is
indicated by the POWER light on the rear panel changing to red. As soon
as the subwoofer senses an input it will automatically switch into
operational mode and the powerlightwillagainglow green.

Although the subwoofer can be safely be left in standby mode
indefinitely,if you are going to be absent from home for a long period, we
advise that the unit beswitchedoffatthe ON/OFF switch.

The Front Speakers are bi-wired. This is the
preferred mode of connection provided the
crossover network supports bi-wiring.

The Centre and Surround channel speakers
are conventionally wired.

6.1 and 7.1 connections are the same as 5.1
connections with the addition of the extra
effects channel/s.

When running loudspeaker cables be
especially careful not to run them across open
floor areas where they could be a source of
danger. Run loudspeaker cables around room
boundaries whenever possible.

Line level signal cables should be run apart
from mains cables. Never run line level signal
cables parallel to power cables especially on
long runs.

If the subwoofer is triggered on by appliances
switching on and off, re-route the input signal
cable before taking further measures.

Placement: The Front and Centre speakers should bein line. If this is not
possible, consult your processor manual for guidance on adjusting
relative centre/front delay times. If you have a 5.1 system, the listening
seat can be closer totherearwall.As always, be prepared to experiment.

Bass Management: AV processors offer the choice of ‘Large’ or ‘Small’
for the speakers. If you choose ‘Large’ the speaker receives the full
frequency. Choose ‘Small’ and the bass is sent to the Subwoofer. We
recommend you choose ’Small’ for the 1000Ci and the 1010i and 1020i
wherever theyare used in the system. The 1050i should be set to ‘Large’.
The 1030i would normally besetto‘Large’but you may set it to ‘Small’

The subwoofer option should beenabled(setto‘ON’ or ‘YES’)

Levels: When the basic system parameters have been established, put
your processor into the ‘setup’ routine.Set up each individualspeaker so
that the level is the same at the listening position as all the others. If your
processor enables you to adjust the delay times, follow the instructions
closely as this will profoundly affect the final result. When you play a
movie you may think the rear channels are too soft - they aren’t! You may
however have to adjust the subwoofer level both at the processor and at
the subwoofer. Once set, do notre-adjusttheselevels.

LFE: The LFE channel sends all the bass sound effects to the subwoofer.
If speakers are set to ‘Small’ , system bass from those channels is also
sent to the subwoofer. If you play the system at extreme levels and/or
have the subwoofer level set too high you may overdrive the subwoofer
with unpleasant sonic results. If this occurs, reduce the level
immediately.

Phase: If your speakers are incorrectly wired the bass will be blurred and
thin. In this case, check the wiring carefully. If your speaker wire has a
tracer along one core, consistently use the striped core toconnect all the
positive (RED) terminals. In thiswaythesystemwill always be in phase.

Always follow the instructions in your AV processor manual!

Série Q Acoustics 1000i

Introduction

La gamme d’enceintes de série Q Acoustics 1000i est conçue pour
répondre aux besoins des cinéphiles et des amateurs de musique. Notre
gamme comprend :

1010i : Une enceinte d’étagère compacte avec un caisson de basses de
100 mm.

1020i : Une enceinte d’étagère avec un caisson de basses de 125 mm.
1030i : Une enceinte colonne avec un caisson de basses de 165 mm.
1050i : Une enceinte colonne avec deux caissons de basses de 165 mm
1000Ci : Une enceinte centrale avec deux caissons de basses de 100

mm, pouvant être fixée au mur, si nécessaire.
1000Si : Un subwoofer actif de 100 Watt avec un haut-parleur de 200 mm

et un détecteur de signal pour allumage/arrêt automatique.
Vous pouvez effectuer un bi-câblage sur toutes les enceintes passives sauf

la 1010i et la 1000Ci.
Toutes les enceintes fonctionnent à proximité des écrans de télévision sans

aucun problème à l’exception des enceintes de la gamme 1000Si, qui ne
doivent pas être placées à moins de 500 mm d’écrans de télévision ou de
tout autre matériel pouvant être perturbé par un champ magnétique. Cela
n’affecte pas les écrans à plasma ni les écrans à affichage à cristaux
liquides.

Avant de brancher vos enceintes, assurez-vous que toutes les parties
actives de votre système audio sont éteintes ou hors tension.

Lorsque vous allumez votre système audio ou lorsque vous changez les
sources d’entrée, baissez le volume jusqu’à un bas niveau. Montez
graduellement le son.

Ne montez JAMAIS le son au maximum. Le bouton de contrôle du volume
est trompeur et n’indique pas la puissance du système audio. L’utilisation
du volume au maximum peut endommager votre capacité auditive.

Ne raccordez PAS les bornes de votre enceinte au secteur.
Ne laissez PAS vos enceintes dans des endroits trop froids, trop chauds,

trop humides ou au soleil.
Si vous utilisez vos enceintes sans les grilles de protection, faites bien

attention à ne pas endommager les haut-parleurs.
N’utilisez PAS des pieds de fortune. Installez vos enceintes sur des pieds

recommandés par Q-Acoustics selon les instructions, en utilisant les
pointes de fixation fournies. Votre revendeur pourra vous conseiller.

NE démontez PAS vos enceintes car vous annuleriez la garantie.

Déballer vos enceintes

Déballez complètement vos enceintes. Sortez les enceintes du carton en
soulevant les enceintes elles-mêmes. Ne vous servez pas de sacs en
polyéthylène pour les soulever. Les enceintes 1030i, 1050i, et 1000Si sont
assez lourdes; demandez de l’aide pour les soulever, si nécessaire.

Lorsque vous déplacez les enceintes, ne les traînez pas par terre car vous
risquez de les endommager. Soulevez-les avant de les déplacer.

Vous trouverez dans le carton : Le(s) enceinte(s) et ce mode d’emploi.

Pour les modèles suivants, le carton d’emballage contient également :

1030i et 1050i : Un socle pour chaque enceinte, des vis, une clef
hexagonale pour fixer le pied et un paquet de pointes de fixation au sol et
de protège-pointes.

1010i, 1020i, 1000Ci : Un paquet de quatre pieds adhésifs.
1000Si : Un cordon d’alimentation C.E.I. adapté à votre pays.

Vérifiez bien le produit. Si l’un des articles est manquant ou endommagé,
contactez votre revendeur dès que possible.

Conservez l’emballage pour transporter le matériel ultérieurement. Si vous
décidez de jeter l’emballage, respectez la réglementation de votre pays en
matière de recyclage.

Installation

Installation du pied et des pointes – 1030i et 1050i

Placez un chiffon doux ou une
serviette au sol. Retournez l’enceinte
et placez-la sur le chiffon.

Le pied est constitué d’un socle et
d’une colonne. Fixez le socle sur la
colonne à l’aide des cinq vis
courtes. Utilisez la clef hexagonale
pour resserrer les vis correctement.

Retournez le pied et placez les
quatre boulons longs dans le
socle et la colonne. Alignez les
boulons dans les trous prévus en
dessous de l’enceinte et serrez
correctement.

Assurez-vous que le creux du pied
est tourné vers l’arrière de
l’enceinte.

Vissez à moitié les fixations sur le
socle et remettez l’enceinte à
l’endroit. (Si vous possédez un sol
en bois ou en pierre enfoncez les
protège-pointes sur chaque fixation
avant de remettre l’enceinte à
l’endroit).

Une fois l’enceinte à l’endroit,
resserrez chaque fixation avec la
clef hexagonale en partant du haut
et ajustez plus ou moins les
fixations jusqu’à ce que l’enceinte
soit à niveau et parfaitement stable.

Remplissage au sable du modèle 1030i

Vous pouvez remplir la partie basse du modèle 1030i de sable afin de le
stabiliser et de réduire les vibrations sonores. Cela dépend entièrement de
vous. Si vous ne le faites pas, cela ne l’endommagera pas.

Vous aurez besoin de:

• 5kg de sable sec; du sable

de jeu est idéal. N’utilisez pas
de sable de construction.

• Un grand sac solide en
polyéthylène.

• Un pichet sec.

Otez le bouchon du panneau
arrière. Enfoncez le sac dans
la partie basse de l’enceinte
avec l’ouverture du sac
dépassant d’au moins 100
mm. Versez soigneusement
(ou utilisez une cuiller) le sable
dans le sac. Lorsque le sac est
plein, refermez-le bien et
enfoncez le complètement
dans l’enceinte. Replacez le
bouchon.

1010i, 1020i, 1000Ci

Chaque enceinte est livrée
avec quatre pieds adhésifs. Si
vous décidez de ne pas fixer vos enceintes au mur, ôtez la partie protectrice
des pieds et appuyez sur chaque pied pour le mettre en place dans
chaque coin du panneau inférieur à 15 mm du bord.

Fixations au sol très pointues. Faites très attention !
Ne placez jamais une enceinte avec des pointes de fixation dans des
endroits pouvant être endommagés !
Soulevez toujours vos enceintes pour les déplacer; ne les tirez jamais !
