Essential Information About the VQ3110 Studio Monitor
- 3-way architecture with a 10-inch woofer, 3-inch midrange, and next-generation soft dome tweeter for precise imaging and exemplary transparency.
- Hybrid amplification: Class D dedicated to the low frequencies (>700 W RMS) and reinforced Class AB for mid/high frequencies (>2 x 200 W) providing a large dynamic reserve.
- Extended response and high output: 34 Hz - 20 kHz +/-2 dB, up to 116.5 dB Leq at 1 m continuous, 122.5 dB per pair.
- Integrated calibration: subsonic filters, precise crossover points, and LF/MF/HF equalizations for fine-tuning to the control room.
Born from the V3110 Lineage: More Headroom, More Precision
A direct evolution of the V3110 model, the VQ3110 features a completely redesigned tweeter and a 3-inch midrange driver developed to perfectly match the 10-inch woofer. The power supply and Class AB output stage have been beefed up, providing better peak handling and smoother transient reproduction during long sessions.
Designed for Professional Studios and Immersive Setups
Designed for mid-field monitoring in large control rooms, the VQ3110 can also serve as the main monitor in more compact studios. Its controlled directivity and equalization options facilitate integration in stereo, 5.1/7.1, or as part of a demanding Atmos and immersive system.
Features and Innovations Serving Precision
High-efficiency Hybrid Amplification
The low-frequency section benefits from a powerful and stable Class D module, while the midrange and high frequencies take advantage of the smoothness and low distortion of Class AB. This combination ensures generous dynamics, tight bass, and natural highs even at high SPL.
Dedicated Transducers and Careful Filtering
The new tweeter and 3-inch midrange offer increased tonal coherence around the crossover frequencies at 457 Hz and 2.6 kHz. The subsonic filter and band equalizations allow fine adaptation of the response to the room without sacrificing phase or midrange clarity.
Simple and Repeatable Calibration
A 10-position sensitivity switch with 2 dB steps facilitates alignment of reference levels in the studio. LF, MF, and HF EQ presets ensure quick adjustment depending on position and coupling with walls or a subwoofer.
