Q Acoustics 3060S (Black)
Subwoofer
£239
If you’re looking for a subwoofer with phat bass, without the fat box, you need look no further than the Q Acoustics 3060S – one of the slimmest subwoofers available.
The subwoofer that’s been on a diet
Unlike most subwoofers, the 3060S doesn’t take the form of a bulky cube. Instead, this super-slim subwoofer is just 150mm wide – making it one of the slimmest subwoofers available. This slim-line style doesn’t just look attractive; it also means the sub can fit places others don’t. Behind a sofa, between a cabinet and sidewall or even wall-mounted – the options are endless.
Punches hard
It might be slim-line in style but the 3060S is full fat when it comes to delivering bass. A dedicated 8” woofer is driven by a 150 watt Class D amp, delivering window-rattling bass when your movie or music demands it. Dropping right down to 35Hz, this sub fills out the low notes that most speakers simply can’t touch.
Sleek style
As well as being slim yet powerful sounding, the 3060S also shows obsessive attention to design detail. All the controls, for example, are hidden behind a magnetic hatch. The cables exit via a downward-facing port, helping to keep the style clean.
Four finishes to suit your style
Choose between four different finishes and you can get the look that’s perfect for your home. Choose between Graphite Grey and Carbon Black for a technical look to blend well with your other hi-fi components. Alternatively, Arctic White looks great in modern interiors. Finally, the English Walnut vinyl finish is the ideal complement for both antique and contemporary wooden furniture.
Don’t sacrifice space for bass; with the Q Acoustics 3060S you get the full measure of both.

Added depth and bass to my system.
I bought this sub for music listening. I didn't want window rattling bass. This blends beautifully with my 3020i loudspeakers, giving me lovely smooth and clear bass, which I was missing. It looks great too, and is very unobtrusive. I listen to lots of classical music, and mostly older rock and pop (I'm 68). This sub is ideal for me, and it doesn't drive my wife to distraction.I found it easy to setup, to get a smooth integration with my stand mount speakers. Seems to me to be a quality product, at a very reasonable price.

Good sound, features and service
My previous Q Acoustics 7070Si sub just gave up the ghost after 8 years of use so I wanted a cheap quality replacement, this 3060s was it.
Sounds great in my small living room with my Marantz AV amp and the auto on/off works a treat (the 7070si never did!).
So I think this will do with the extra 6 year free guarantee.
Richer Sounds also delivered next day for free, brilliant!
Happy!

Really fills the room and easy to set up
My room not huge but had to turn the volume down to about 1/3. This little unit is really quite powerful. Once the crossovers all set on my system this unit is perfect for providing that added layer of boost for both films and music.

Great little subwoofer
Bought this for my home office PC to complement a pair of Audioengine small speaker (HD3). The main benefit of this sub is the size, at just 150mm width. It fits perfectly under a desk. Sound is great for this purpose. I'd hesitate to recommend it for a movie set up in a larger room, but for my application it's ideal.

Beautiful sound, great design, affordable price
This was my first time owning a subwoofer. I have always
had a standard stereo hi-fi setup (no 5.1 or 7.1), and I am still very satisfied with a pair of Eltax speakers which have served me well for over 20 years! So, having recently bought a Marantz PN7000N Network Amplifier with a subwooder output, I decided to take the plunge and add a "point 1" to my system. And what a difference it makes!
Stereo music listening has improved immeasurably, in that the soundscspe is full, rich and perfectly balanced, whereas before there always seemed something lacking.
The dimensions and design of the unit is perfect for me too, being slimmer than most, and sits perfectly behind my 49" TV. Of course, bluray movie viewings are also a much better experience now too, but it is the general music listening that really surprised me, from whatever source, analogue or digital. My Eltax speakers go down to 45Hz and the Q Acoustics to 35 Hz, and it's worth having a play around with the crossover point, but i found that setting it at around 55 Hz (10Hz above the lowest capabilities of your main speakers as is the standard recommendation) was the sweet point at which this really shone - the added bass detail is obvious but not overpowering, seemingly bringing detail forward across the frequency spectrum. Balanced, musical and expressive.
The crossover adjustment is only really necessary for a 2.1 setup, as it is recommended to set the dial all the way over to AV if you have an AV (Surround) amp.
A QED Performance Interconnect was my cable of choice and that also was the perfect compliment.
I would recommended this product for someone who wants to improve their existing setup, without breaking the bank. Excellent.
