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 discerning movie enthusiasts. The range comprises:

1010i: Compact Bookshelf speaker with a 100 mm bass driver.

1020i: Bookshelf speaker with a 125 mm bass driver.

1030i: Compact Floorstander with a 165 mm bass driver

1050i: Floorstander with two 165 mm bass drivers

1000Ci: Centre channel with two 100 mm bass drivers, which can be wall 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 screens are unaffected.

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 your sound system or changing input sources, set the main volume control at a low level. 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 volume settings may damage your hearing.

DO NOT connect your loudspeaker terminals to the mains supply.

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

If you play your loudspeakers without their 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 not use the polythene bags to lift them. The 1030i, 1050i, and 1000Si are heavy - get assistance to lift them if necessary.

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

In the carton you will find: The loudspeaker/s and this product manual.

In addition the packing for the following models contains:

1030i and 1050i: A plinth for each speaker, screws, an Allen key to attach the stand and a set of floor spikes and spike covers.

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

1000Si: An IEC power cord suitable for the mains supply in your area.

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

Retain the packing for future transport. If you dispose of the packing, please do so following all recycling regulations in your area.

Preparation

Fitting the Floor Stand and Spikes1030i and 1050i

Place a soft cloth or towel on the floor. Invert the loudspeaker and place it on the cloth.

The stand consists of a base and a pillar. Attach the base to the pillar with the five short screws. An Allen key is provided so you can tighten 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 the loudspeaker.

Thread the spikes half way into the base and return the loudspeaker 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.

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!

Sand Filling the 1030i

The lower chamber of the 1030i can be filled with sand to aid stability and to dampen acoustic vibration. This is entirely at your option. No harm is caused if you omit this procedure.

You will need:

5kg of dry sand - play sand is ideal. Do not use building sand.

A large, strong polythene bag.

A 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

E a c h l o u d s p e a k e r i s

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 bottom panel 15 mm in from each edge.

Positioning Passive Loudspeakers

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. The speakers should be 2m - 4m apart and central to the seated listener. Turning the speakers slightly inwards will sharpen a stereo image but may cause narrowing of 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

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

mounting is also possible.

An optional bracket designed specifically to wall mount the Q Acoustics 1010i, 1020i and 1000Ci is available from your dealer. Floor stands for the 1010i and 1020i are also available.

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 a regular TV set, make sure that the TV is capable of adequately supporting the speaker and has a level top. If not, consider placing the TV on a cabinet with the 1000Ci on a secure 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

400mm

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.

Connecting Passive Loudspeakers

Terminals and Connectors

The 1020i, 1030i and 1050i are bi-wireable. A bi-wireable crossover has four terminals. The upper pair of terminals connects to the treble (HF) speaker and the lower pair to the bass (LF) speaker/s. As supplied the crossovers are fitted with removable links to connect the terminal pairs. This permits you to connect the loudspeaker conventionally using one pair of cables or in bi-wired mode with two pairs.

The 1010i and 1000Ci have standard two terminal crossovers.

Loudspeaker Cables

Specialist loudspeaker cables will offer a higher standard of reproduction than general purpose ‘bell’ or ‘zip’ wire. Use cable with generous amounts of copper for the front and centre channels. Thin cables reduce the bass and restrict the dynamic range. Surround (rear) channels are less critical.

Speaker cable has a stripe or tracer along one core. By convention this is connected to the positive terminals. The cables connecting the amplifier

to the front loudspeakers should ideally be the same length. Never join
cables - use complete lengths.	7mm
Preparing Cables

Split the cable to a depth of about 40 mm.

Bare the wire to a depth of 10mm and twist 30mm the ends to gather any stray wires. Crop the

cable leaving 7mm of bare wire exposed.

Connecting a Terminal

Unscrew the terminal anticlockwise to expose the mounting hole in the base of the

terminal column.

Insert the bare end of the cable into the hole. Re-tighten the terminal fully hand tight. Make sure there are no stray wires which could touch adjacent terminals.

In the EU it is against safety regulations to use 4mm loudspeaker plugs.

Preliminaries

Unpack the subwoofer following the guidelines given earlier.

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 something that you should not do yourself.

Before connecting the subwoofer please make sure that all the active units in your system are switched off at the mains.

Positioning the Subwoofer

Bass frequencies are substantially omnidirectional. Although this 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. Do not place the subwoofer across a corner.

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

The MAINS ON/OFF switch is the means of disconnecting this apparatus from the mains and is mounted on the 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 to this switch.

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

Connecting the 1000i Sub

Subwoofer Connections

Standard Connection via the AV SUB Input

You will need a single RCA phono interconnect. As this cable is likely to be quite long, make sure you get a good quality fully screened cable. Your Q Acoustics dealer will be happy to supply you with a suitable interconnect.

SUBWOOFER

RIGHT LEFT		RIGHT LEFT
			SUB
REAR LS	CENTRE LS	FRONT LS	OUT

Connect the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT on the amplifier to the AV SUB INPUT on the subwoofer using a suitable RCA interconnect. Push the plugs firmly home to ensure a good contact.

If you wish to connect the 1000i Sub to a preamplifier or a spare line output on a regular amplifier, do NOT use a Stereo to Mono ‘Y’ adaptor or your sound system will be set into Mono! Your dealer will advise you about a suitable adaptor. Alternatively, use the High Level connection.

High Level Connections

In this mode the subwoofer is connected to the amplifier together with the Front loudspeakers. This connection should be used only if a dedicated subwoofer line output is unavailable.

Never connect to both the high and line level inputs!

SUB.

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 to produce a single common bass channel.

1000i Subwoofer - Operation

Switching On

Check that all system connections are properly and securely made. Ensure that the subwoofer is switched off.

Set the subwoofer level control roughly halfway. Set the crossover control to 70Hz.

Plug the supplied power cord into the subwoofer 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 glow and 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 be necessary before the 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. If you can 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, this can be increased as far as 90Hz. 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 up the subwoofer, always bear in mind that the human ear’s sensitivity to bass varies enormously with the volume level, hence the need for a wide range of programme material and 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 is made.

Auto Power On: This feature enables you to switch the main system on and off without having to remember to switch the subwoofer on and off as well.

The 1000Si has a built in level sensor. If there is no 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 power light will again glow 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 be switched off at the 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.

Above is the Dolby Labs recommended layout for 7.1systems.

The 6.1 layout is the same except a single central speaker replaces the two back units. The 5.1 layout has no back speakers

Placement: The Front and Centre speakers should be in 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 to the rear wall. 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 they are used in the system. The 1050i should be set to ‘Large’. The 1030i would normally be set to ‘Large’ but you may set it to ‘Small’

The subwoofer option should be enabled (set to ‘ON’ or ‘YES’)

Levels: When the basic system parameters have been established, put your processor into the ‘setup’ routine. Set up each individual speaker 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 not re-adjust these levels.

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 to connect all the positive (RED) terminals. In this way the system will 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

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 !

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.
