As the largest standmount in Q Acoustics' 3000i range, the 3030i is unusual because it was added to the series sometime after the rest were launched, and a corresponding model with this configuration didn't appear in the preceding model range. The 3030i combines a 22mm soft dome tweeter with its prominent outer roll, which helps to give it the required dispersion while the inner dome focuses on high frequency. This tweeter uses a simplified version of the decoupling principle employed in the company's more expensive models.
