Small But Classy Satellite Speakers Have Much To Offer

The 7000LRi Satellite Speakers are tiny loudspeakers from Q Acoustics’ current series 7000i, which includes the 7000LRi and 7000LRi. The award-winning series that caught the world by storm last month has been followed up by yet another award-winning series from the UK firm. The Q7000i series was named the “Best Style Package” of 2013 by the publication “What Hi-Fi.” Q Acoustics has introduced the 7000i series to the market as an improvement to its Q7000 range from 2011. This line of satellite speakers delivers outstanding audio performance and may be used individually in a stereo system or in conjunction with other 7000i series products to create a whole home theatre entertainment system.

The 7000LRi Satellite Speakers have a cylindrical design, more akin to a capsule pill, and each one has twin 7.5cm long-throw bass drivers that are coupled to a 25mm ring radiator tweeter. When compared to their previous iteration, they have been rebuilt with a new crossover. In turn, this results in a quicker transient response, more vivid but yet realistic sound delivery, and very low distortion levels as a consequence. It is possible to easily attach the speaker on a wall since the terminals are located at the bottom of the speaker. As with any tiny bookshelf loudspeaker, they have a restricted bass response; as a result, they are meant to work in conjunction with the 7070Si 8-inch subwoofer to provide a smooth listening experience.

Considering how little the speakers are, the sound quality they provide is incredible. They are small and lightweight, weighing less than 2kg and measure just 240mm x 100mm x 160mm. However, because of their full-range hi-fi quality and low distortion levels, they are an excellent option for satellite speakers in a home entertainment system. When used in conjunction with a matching subwoofer, their performance is significantly improved, and they may easily outperform many massive, tall floor-standing loudspeakers of comparable size. They are offered in two colour options: black and white. The 7000i home cinema entertainment package includes five of these satellite speakers, allowing you to enjoy true hi-fi surround sound throughout your house.

First and foremost, the 7000i L+R are ‘full range’, true hi-fi loudspeakers, capable of delivering an excellent sonic performance across a wide range of applications.

In fact, the package has been overhauled. It has new drive units and a new crossover in the satellites.

The outstanding dispersion characteristic of this advanced design creates a wonderfully three dimensional sound stage for both music and home cinema, as well as delivering very smooth and detailed high frequencies.

The precision of its dynamic, ultra-low distortion and spacious three dimensional sound will astonish.
