Product details
”If you love the sound of Q Acoustics’ speaker packages but covet more power, the QB12 is as good a solution as we could hope for.”’What Hi-Fi?’ – 5 Star review.
The QB 12 is the first Q Acoustics subwoofer to feature a 12in driver. The big long-throw driver is powered by an ultra low-distortion 220-watt Class D amplifier for tight, powerful bass response, and features a 50mm voice coil for minimal thermal compression. Equally at home with Q Acoustics’ Concept and 3000i range of stereo and centre speakers, Q B12 is designed to be equally adept at reproducing big Hollywood action moments as it is the deep, subtle textures of bass instruments.
We are a Q Acoustics Elite dealer with many of the entire range available to demo. Please contact us directly to arrange this - appointments are required.
If you like your favourite movies and music to be a truly physical experience, the Q B12 is the subwoofer for you. Featuring a mighty 12 inch woofer and driven by an equally impressive 220 watt, Class D amplifier, the Q B12 makes its presence felt – big time.
Built to resist distortion
Keeping this power in check, Q Acoustics have fitted the Q B12 sub with a large, diecast aluminium heat sink – keeping the amp cool running and the power coming. The cabinet is thick-walled and reinforced, making it as rigid as possible. This greatly reduces unwanted vibrations and rattles, meaning you can turn the volume up higher without distortion.
Room-friendly style and choice of finishes
Although no shrinking violet, Q Acoustics have rounded the ages off this mighty sub for a less obtrusive style. Black or white finishes are available or, as an extra cost option, luxurious deep gloss black or white.
The perfect match for Q Acoustics
Although the Q B12 makes a great match for most home cinema and hi-fi systems, it’s even more at home with matching Q Acoustic speakers. From the 3000i to the Concept ranges, the Q B12 feels right at home and even matches the house style.
Super-charge your movie and music nights, with the Q Acoustics Q B12.

From the subtlest nuance to volcano all-action
220 watts of Class D power driving a long-throw 12in drive unit sounds like a recipe for action. And that’s exactly what it is - no Hollywood blockbuster soundtrack features explosions too loud, too deep or too powerful for Q B12 to handle. But power is nothing without control, and Q B12 is just as comfortable describing the nuances of a double bass or an electronic kick-drum.

Strength and control
Q B12’s sealed, ‘infinite baffle’ cabinet is cleverly braced to deliver maximum stiffness to its motor system and, as a consequence, minimum influence on those deep bass sounds. Mechanical stability = aural satisfaction.

Ease, simplicity and performance
A reinforced MDF cabinet with a 36mm-thick baffle, a recessed and hidden terminal panel. Adjustable spiked feet with rubber caps. A choice of elegant, understated finishes. Q B12 is a simple and easy to position and set up as it is invigorating to listen to.
