{"product_id":"sonoxq30bl","title":"Sonox Q30 Bookshelf Speakers, Black (Pair)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Sonox Q30 is a compact 2-way bookshelf speaker with a sealed cabinet that delivers precise, surprisingly punchy bass even on a shelf or close to a wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeveloped by the Swiss speaker manufacturer ROWEN, the Q series brings audiophile know-how into a compact, affordable box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Sonox Q30?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstead of a bass-reflex port, the Q30 relies on a sealed \"acoustic suspension\" cabinet. That means deep, dry bass without the boominess that otherwise likes to appear close to a wall – so you can place the speaker on a shelf or near the wall without a second thought. ROWEN's 18 mm fabric-dome tweeter resolves finely, while a fast, wideband bass\/mid system underneath handles clean spatial imaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA sound that feels bigger than the box: clear voices, a natural timbre and bass down to 45 Hz that has kick instead of booming. Just as good for music as for movie night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Sonox Q30 suited for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor anyone who wants genuine hi-fi sound from a compact, easy-to-place box – especially if a shelf or wall is the only spot available. Plain talk: the Q30 is a passive speaker, so you'll need an amplifier as well. And this compact design won't deliver concert-hall levels for a 60 m² loft – for that, there's the larger Q80 or the X series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA lot of speaker for the money: honest sound, Swiss engineering, easy to place. One of the most straightforward routes to real stereo in the living room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the trade press says\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The word 'sensation' – to be used sparingly, please – is genuinely warranted here.\" And in the conclusion: \"So with the Q30 and Q80, Sonox delivers two price-to-performance hammers.\" – \u003cem\u003eAUDIO SWISS\u003c\/em\u003e, Q3\/2025\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Compact 2-way bookshelf speaker (passive)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign principle: Sealed cabinet (acoustic suspension)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTweeter: 18 mm ROWEN fabric dome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWoofer\/midrange: 13 cm, wideband\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSub-bass: 1 × rear-firing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency range: 45 Hz – 24,000 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrossover frequencies: 250 Hz \/ 4,300 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImpedance: 6 Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensitivity: 89 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions (W × H × D): 17.5 × 29 × 24 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnection: screw terminals for speaker cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded: 2 × Sonox Q30 (pair), instruction manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need an amplifier for the Sonox Q30?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The Q30 is a passive speaker and needs an integrated or streaming amplifier. It already runs well with moderate power. We're happy to help you work out which amplifier suits your room and budget.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I place the Q30 on a shelf or against a wall?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, that's exactly what the sealed cabinet is designed for. It delivers precise bass even close to a wall or in a corner, without booming. A little distance improves the spaciousness of the sound, but it's not a must.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo the Q30 come as a pair?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, the price is for the pair – you get two speakers for classic stereo.
