Audiovector QR Wall SE On-Wall Speaker
1 550,00 €
Audiovector QR Wall SE is a compact passive on-wall speaker for home cinema side or rear channels and stereo systems in smaller spaces. Its 9.5 cm-deep cabinet occupies very little space against the wall. Direct and diffuse modes allow the sound presentation to be adapted to the speaker’s role. The Gold Leaf AMT, five-inch Pure Piston Technology driver and Q-Port bass reflex system form a two-way design.
Audiovector QR Wall SE is a compact two-way passive on-wall speaker. It is designed for use as a side or rear channel in a home cinema system. The model is also suitable for a stereo system in a smaller room or kitchen. Its cabinet is only 9.5 cm deep, helping to save space against the wall.
Installation and positioning
The cabinet is designed for wall mounting, so the speaker takes up no floor or shelf space. When installing a stereo pair, position both speakers at the same height and symmetrically in relation to the main listening position. In a home cinema system, choose the location according to whether the speaker will serve as a side or rear channel.
Keep the Q-Port opening clear so that air can flow freely. This is important for the correct operation of the bass reflex system. Do not place nearby objects against the cabinet openings or drive units.
Drive units and cabinet construction
The Gold Leaf AMT tweeter uses an S-Stop filter. Its dispersion mesh is plated with rose gold. The front plate is machined from a single piece of aerospace-grade aluminium. It is precision-machined, glass-blasted, brushed and anodised in a Tungsten Titanium Grey finish.
The five-inch Pure Piston Technology driver features a dual-magnet motor system. Bass reproduction is supported by the Q-Port bass reflex system, which has been optimised in the SE version for greater precision. The crossover frequency is 3000 Hz.
Internal components of the SE version
The crossover network uses specialised, double-cryogenically treated polypropylene capacitors with tin-plated copper. Metal-housed resistors provide improved heat dissipation. The internal wiring is made from cryogenically treated pure copper.
Audiovector Nanopore damping material is precisely positioned inside the cabinet to promote a more open midrange presentation. A fabric grille covers the front, while gold-brass badges complement both the grille and front plate.
Connecting the speaker
This is a passive speaker, so it requires an external stereo or home cinema amplifier. Connect it to the amplifier’s speaker outputs and maintain consistent polarity for both channels.
The nominal 4-ohm impedance means that the amplifier must be able to operate reliably with this load. The sensitivity rating of 86 dB/W/m helps when assessing the amplifier power required for the desired listening level. With the same amount of power, a more sensitive speaker would generally play louder.
The 160 W power-handling figure is not identified as an RMS, programme or peak rating. It should therefore not be interpreted directly as the recommended amplifier power.
Sound dispersion settings
A mode switch allows the sound dispersion to be adapted to the speaker’s role. The OFF position activates direct mode. The ON position activates diffuse mode, creating a more open sound field.
For stereo use, begin with direct mode. For side or rear channels, compare both settings from the main listening position. Keep the volume unchanged while listening so that you can assess the difference in dispersion itself.

FAQ
Can the speaker be connected directly to a television?
No. A passive speaker requires an amplifier with speaker outputs. The television’s audio signal must first be sent to a suitable stereo or home cinema amplifier.
How should I choose the right sound dispersion setting?
Compare both settings while seated in the main listening position. Direct mode is suitable when more precise sound direction is preferred. Choose diffuse mode when you want a more open surround sound field.
Where should these speakers be installed?
The correct location for side and rear channels depends on the layout of the home cinema system. In a stereo system, install both speakers at the same height and maintain symmetrical positioning.
Is this model suitable for a compact stereo system?
Yes. It is designed for smaller rooms and kitchens. The system can be paired with the QR Sub SE when additional bass reproduction is required.
Is 105 kHz the upper frequency limit of the complete speaker?
No. This figure describes only the upper limit of the Gold Leaf high-frequency driver. It is not the frequency range of the complete speaker.
