It’s a punchy and upfront listen, without giving away detail or precision – whether you want to recreate the atmosphere of the mosh pit or the concert hall.
Lost in Your Music
Designed to bring you closer to the music you love, CXA61 places you right at the heart of your favourite recordings – revealing every note in the most natural, effortless, and detailed way imaginable. Analogue or digital, lo-fi or hi-res, CXA61 lets the music take you wherever you want to go.
Return on Investment
Our engineering team in London invested hours researching, developing, experimenting and, above all, listening to ensure that CXA61 was right. Their goal: to deliver a thrilling, focused and detailed musical performance. Every component selected, and decision made, based on the desire to make the CXA61 a very accomplished integrated amplifier.
Effortlessly Musical
At the heart of CXA61 beats a Class AB power amplifier stage with optimised capacitor values. It takes the musicality of Class A and blends it with the efficiency of Class B. The amp’s short signal path leaves little opportunity for interference. The resulting sound is detailed, while delivering the emotional impact the artist intended.
Power with Control
Thanks to its toroidal transformer, CXA61 delivers 60 watts of pure power per channel. With a special volume pot designed to minimise crosstalk, the result is an amplifier with reserves of power – ready to exploit the dynamic potential of your speakers and deliver volume without stress or distortion.
All of the Music
To deliver the maximum musical experience, no matter the source, CXA61 has a digital board featuring the acclaimed ESS Sabre ES9010 K2M digital-to-analogue convertor (DAC). CXA61 can bring digital audio files, up to high resolution 32-bit/384kHz and DSD256, vividly to life – combining convenience with a performance unimagined at this price.
Get Connected
CXA61 is a well-connected amp. As well as digital optical and coaxial connections, it features plenty of stereo analogue inputs alongside wireless hi-res connectivity via Bluetooth aptX HD – perfect for sources like an Alva ST turntable. You can even connect a second pair of speakers, to share your music with another room.
Designed for Life
Thanks to the relentless dedication of our team in London, CXA61 is a complete solution. Its combination of versatility and high performance, means it can form the centre of your musical system for many years to come. Its elegant, minimalistic lines, crafted from aluminium and steel, will endure both physically and aesthetically.
Q Acoustics 3050i
The all new, Q 3050i floorstanding speaker has been created using design principles taken from our critically acclaimed Concept 500 Series, resulting in stunning sonic performance and beautiful aesthetics.
Key Features
- Striking floorstanding Speakers with twin 165mm and 22mm precision drivers
- The Q 3050i cabinet uses Point-to-Point (P2PTM) bracing techniques to reduce intrusive cabinet vibrations for a purer sound
- HPE™ technology eliminates sympathetic resonance within the enclosures by equalising air pressure within the 3050i cabinet
- Conventional terminal panel cut-outs have been removed, giving greatly improved structural integrity to the enclosures and new low profile binding posts
- Uses a 22mm decoupled High Frequency Driver with wide surround creating a wide even dispersion of stereo
LEADING TECHNOLOGY OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE
The Q 3050i speakers boast a range of unique technologies including HPE™ and P2P™ to ensure these floorstanding speakers deliver a truly exceptional sound.
HPE™ (Helmholtz Pressure Equalizer) technology designed to convert pressure to velocity and reduce the overall pressure gradient within the speaker enclosure, has been applied to the Q 3050i to reduce cabinet resonance. This technology is perfect for taller loudspeakers that tend to resonate at a single favoured frequency.
Q Acoustics P2P™ bracing across the 3000i Series supports the parts of the enclosure that need to be stiffened making the enclosures exceptionally rigid, improving the focus of the stereo image and giving the soundstage more accuracy than in previous ranges.
HIGH FREQUENCY DRIVER UNIT FOR AN UNALTERED SOUND
Q 3050i tweeters are decoupled from the baffle via a compliant suspension system. Vibrations from the woofer, which can impair the performance of the tweeter are isolated allowing the tweeter to perform with dramatically reduced interference.
Whichever 3000i model you choose the cone is precision formed from impregnated and coated paper and teamed with a newly developed, low-hysteresis, rubber surround. The coated paper cone provides the optimum balance between stiffness and self-damping which means it can accelerate without flexing and stop very accurately without unwanted resonances.
BEAUTIFUL INSIDE & OUT
Q 3050i range features all new enclosure aesthetics and offers 4 new contemporary finishes; Graphite Grey, English Walnut, Carbon Black or Arctic White. All are finished with an attractive chrome bezel around each driver and feature magnetic speaker grilles.
Low profile binding posts have been incorporated into the Q 3050i with sockets deep enough to accept 4mm Banana Plugs. This floorstanding speaker can be positioned very close to a rear wall even when banana plugs rather than spades or bare wires are used.
