Q Acoustics 3000WB (Black) - Single Wall Bracket for 3010(i), 3020(i) and 3090C(i) Speakers

Bought five of these to support 4* 3020's and a 3090C, and am glad I did. I nearly went for some cheaper universal supports but decided to try these after the good reviews. Four screws to attach them to the wall (not supplied) and then screw the bolt into the bottom of each speaker using the supplied Allen key. They hold firm and secure and you get immediate confidence they aren't going to sag, or worse. The speakers bounce a little so probably not as good as shelf mounting but not far off. My only real problems with these was they allow tilting left, right and down, but not up. My centre speaker needed to point up slightly being under the tv and the bracket would not allow me to do this unfortunately. With some lateral thinking, I managed to chock the bracket up slightly using an angled rubber wedge so all was good. The 3090C has quite a wide spread anyway so the tilt was not as critical as I thought it might be. These come in a nicely packaged box and there are a white and black cowels supplied so if you have white speakers, you can put the white cowel on for a more appropriate finish. I found the cowels to be a bit wobbly and am worried they might rattle but so far, so good. I'm not even too sure I've got them on properly as they are quite tricky to attach. Great brackets, expensive but worth it.

Perfect for my 3010i speakers, these are pretty heavy little speakers and needed to wall mount them for surrounds as part of my 5.1 setup. These brackets are perfect for the job, plenty of adjustability and really sturdy. Not ideal for banana plugs unless you slide the speaker forward in its track to its maximum adjustment, bare wire or spade connectors would be my suggestion. Not screws or plugs included so something to be aware of and account for (I used 5cm screws and 5cm/8mm heavy duty plugs into a brick wall).

Now that I have a kid, I needed to move my speakers off their floor stands and keep them out of harms way. I have the Q Acoustics 5.1 setup so needed 5 of these. They arrive nicely packaged but minus fixings, which whilst irritating I understand because these brackets hold a lot of weight and it's imperative that you use appropriate fixings for the type of wall you have - else you could end up with a ruined wall and damaged speakers. They are nicely made, and do the job they are designed to do very well. Essentially one bolt holds the speaker to the bracket and you can move the speaker through a large range of motion side to side and up/down until you tighten the bolt at which point everything is locked. Once in place they are very, very sturdy. A nice touch is the bottom caps that come with each mount - you get a black and white in each to match the colour of your speakers. A previous reviewer mentioned that the bolt got stuck half way up the speaker. I didn't have this issue on any of my 5 speakers. At almost £20 a go these aren't cheap, hence 4 stars not 5, but I can't fault the product itself.

Very well constructed and does exactly what it says on the tin. Only criticism is that with the weight of the speakers they do flex a tiny bit but this could be due to the way I’ve installed mine. See the second photo… it’s mounted to a steel beam where the bottom of the bracket is lower than the beam…. This is the one that flexes a tiny bit. The other one (first photo) sits perfect

I recently invested in a Q Acoustics setup, my first foray into surround sound having always had Stereo setups up to this point. These brackets are used for my 3010i surrounds. Having struggled with universal wall mounts in the past, to me these were a joy to install and took only a few minutes. The plastic covers (which come in both black and white) are a very nice touch. Buy some fixing hardware, as the brackets don't come with plugs/screws - not a problem because supplied fixings are never usually all that good. The other bonus is that you can use the same bracket for the 3090Ci centre speaker, which I may do in the future if my setup changes. Are they good value? I would say yes, considering their design, build quality and the addition of the plastic covers.

Got these for my recently acquired 3010i and 3090Ci arctic white speakers to sit on. Not a problem for me that they didn't come with screws to attach them to the walls as there are too many variables and potential litigation issues ("I attached them to a piece of paper using the screws provided and they fell off giving me concussion.." etc). Just make sure you get the right screws AND JUST AS IMPORTANT the right plugs for the weight of the speakers (5/6kg in my case) and the wall the brackets will be attached to (masonry and brick in my case). Also, these are specifically for the 3010/3020/3090C or 3010i/3020i/3090Ci speakers. NOT FOR ANY OTHERS INCLUDING OTHER Q ACCOUSTICS RANGES (i.e. the 2000 series or 1000 series etc). Therefore, no compatibility issues for me that some others have found. The Good 1. The design means the brackets are almost invisible, which gives a nice floating look. The speakers are taller and wider than the plate that attaches the bracket to the wall and much deeper than the bit that they sit on, which means looking at the speakers dead on all you really see is the small bit underneath, which is tidied up and colour matched using the slot on cover that comes in the box (see picture). I do wonder if the design came at the price of some practicality/usability though (see 'not so good' below). 2. They’re not flimsy and they support the speakers fine. The core of the bracket is strong metal, and they are sturdy enough to support the speakers, which at 5/6kg is a key consideration and no mean feat. Considering how deep the speakers themselves are, the bit that they sit on is really quite small. As such I was a bit sceptical, but they proved me wrong. The not so good 1. Attaching the speakers is a bit of a pain. 90% of cases will be a 2-person job. As others have said, attaching the speakers to the brackets is a real bear. This is almost exclusively down to the weight of the speakers, but then I would argue that if the speaker that a bracket is designed for is heavy, then this should be taken into consideration by the design and the impact this has on the method needed to attach the speakers. I am by no means a designer, but attaching the bit the speaker sits on to the speaker first and then attaching both to the actual bracket in a way that doesn't require you to hold up the speaker at the same time as trying to screw something into it strikes me as easier than what they have done here (upward pointing bolt that screws directly into the speaker). I was able to do it myself only because the speakers were not high up, so I could support/hold the speaker in position with my chest while I cursed and fumbled around underneath trying to get the Alan key to find the hole in the bolt and tighten it, which felt like it took forever! 2. Can’t use Banana Plugs. I got right angled ones specifically (where the wire attaches underneath), but the short amount of travel the design allows means that even these unfortunately can’t be used if the speakers are to be level and not pointing down, which if you’re using them for the front speakers (i.e. L, C & R) is going to be almost always. 3. Very limited angles. Side to side movement limited and pointing up is pretty much non existent. The diagram in the product description (and also on the box) shows the speaker can be angled 45 degrees down, though I have to ad I’m not using them like this. It also shows side to side angling being possible up to (in my speakers case) 40 degrees. Having played around with the bracket a bit, the mechanism does allow the bit the speaker sits on to move from side to side (I didn’t measure how much) BUT ONLY WHEN IT IS ALL THE WAY FORWARD, i.e. pointing 45 degrees down. As you bring it up and closer to the horizontal, the lateral leeway disappears due to the design and I can’t for the life of me see how side to side movement is possible in a level or close to level position. I have gone back to Q acoustics about this as I can’t see why this would be the case. Ideally speakers should be at ear level and in a lot of cases pointing at the listening position, so having a bracket where this is only possible when the speaker is pointing down 45 degrees is a bit mystifying to me. The only way I can see how to do it is for the bit the speaker sits on to point forward, but the speaker itself sat on it at whatever angle is required, which seems a very odd design choice to me, especially given the depth and weight of the speakers in question. Finally, it’s worth pointing out that angling the speakers upwards is not really possible. To be fair, it doesn’t say anywhere that it is designed to allow upward movement, but still worth noting. I managed to get a very slight upward angle, but best to assume its not possible, just to be safe.

I have three of these two of which are holding a pair of 3010i's as front high mounts, these are not an inconsiderable weight but the sturdiness of the brackets means that there is no chance of them failing, fitting is a simple matter of marking the wall, drilling the holes and using rawlplugs to screw into, they are then attached firmly and hold the speaker firmly even when tilted down my other bracket is holding a 3090c centre speaker which is twice the weight of the 3010's but again it is held in place with no movement or chance of falling, using the supplied allen key it is easy to tilt or rotate the speakers to suit your needs, i thoroughly recommend these.

Nice looking brackets, easy to fix, good that you can tilt them downwards. My only problem was if you need to angle them to the fixing wall this made the speakers lean over at an angle, fine if you are mounting at right angles to the wall.
