Operating Q Acoustics Unit

1. On / In+ / In-
This EQ switch should be the first thing you set on your Unit. The Unit has been voiced by our acoustic
experts to get the best audio performance possible for the three most common placements within a
room.
Simply select the placement that best fits your living environment using the switch on the Rear Panel, and
let Q Acoustics handle the rest.
ON = On a cabinet
IN+ = In a large cabinet
IN- = In a small cabinet

2. Power and standby

With the AC Mains turned off, plug in the AC Mains Cable. Once all Rear Panel audio connections are
made, turn the AC Mains ON. The speakers will enter STANDBY, and show a RED status LED.
Exit STANDBY by turning a connected source ON, or by pressing the STANDBY button on either the Top
Panel or the IR remote. The LED will then change colour according to the AUTO SOURCE SELECT rules.
If NO input signals are detected, the Unit will select the Analogue input and then automatically enter
STANDBY after 20 minutes.
3. Intelligent Pre-Amplifier (IPA
In normal operation the IPA
Q Acoustics IPA is designed so the user requires the minimum amount of effort to get full functionality.
™
The IPA will AUTO ON/OFF and AUTO SOURCE SELECT according to our carefully designed
™
intelligence matrix.

4. Auto On / Off

When connected to an audio source, the Unit has an AUTO ON function and will come out of STANDBY
when it detects an active audio signal is connected.
When the audio signal is stopped for a pre-defined period of time, the Unit has an AUTO OFF function
and will go into STANDBY.
This, for example, allows easy integration of the Unit with your TV, automatically turning ON and OFF in
synchronisation with your TV STANDBY control.
