Detailed Description

Design and Build

The 5050 floorstanding speakers feature a minimalist yet sophisticated design, with baffle fronts laminated in butyl rubber and black acrylic trim to suppress vibrations and enhance visual appeal. Available in four stylish finishes, these speakers are designed to seamlessly integrate into any contemporary home decor.

Advanced Driver Technology

At the heart of the 5050 is the C3 Continuous Curved Cone™ mid/bass driver. This innovative design combines the bass performance of a traditional cone with the high/mid-range control of a flared cone, resulting in smoother frequency integration and superior bass dynamics. The driver is supported by substantial magnets and large voice coils, increasing power handling by 50% compared to conventional designs.

High-Frequency Driver

The high-frequency driver in the 5050 speakers is inspired by the design principles of Q Acoustics' flagship Concept series. It is hermetically sealed and mechanically isolated from the front baffle, reducing internal cabinet pressures and resonances. This design reduces distortion and ensures seamless integration through the crossover region.

Mid/Bass Driver Design

At the core of the mid/bass driver design is the C3 Continuous Curved Cone™. The cone's geometry requires a powerful motor for optimal performance. Large magnets paired with substantial voice coils increase motor strength, resulting in a 50% boost in power handling compared to a driver with a 25.4 mm voice coil. This results in improved dynamic range, especially in the bass region.

P2P™ Bracing and HPE™ Technology

To further enhance performance, the 5050 speakers incorporate Q Acoustics' Point-to-Point™ (P2P) bracing, which stiffens the cabinet and minimizes low-frequency vibrations. The Helmholtz Pressure Equalizer (HPE™) technology is applied to convert pressure to velocity, reducing cabinet resonance and delivering a clearer soundstage.

Performance

The 5050 floorstanding speakers are engineered to deliver impressive sound quality. The combination of advanced driver technology and sophisticated cabinet design produces wide soundstaging, accurate stereo imaging, and deep bass dynamics. Whether for music or home cinema, these speakers provide a captivating listening experience.
