Q Acoustics

The Q Acoustics Concept 50 is a premium floorstanding speaker designed for larger spaces, delivering high-end home audio performance without the associated high-end price tag. Its construction focuses on minimizing internal and external resonances to provide a precise and holographic soundstage, emulating the quality of live performance audio.

Key Features

• Gelcore™ Cabinet Construction: Reduces high-frequency cabinet noise for clearer audio.
• P2P™ Internal Bracing: Minimizes low-frequency vibrations for enhanced stereo imaging.
• HPE™ Technology: Eliminates standing waves within the cabinet for optimal frequency response.
• Isolation Suspension Base: Isolates the cabinet from external vibrations, resulting in tighter stereo imaging.
• Aluminum Baffle: Provides an acoustic seal, dampens vibrations, and minimizes structural coupling.
• High-Frequency Driver Isolation: Protects the tweeter from internal resonances.
• Bi-Wire Terminals: Separates high and low-frequency signals for improved clarity.

Detailed Description

Gelcore™ Cabinet Construction

The Gelcore™ technology uses a non-setting gel sandwiched between two layers to dissipate high-frequency vibrations into heat. This design significantly reduces high-frequency noise, maintaining focused audio performance.

P2P™ Internal Bracing

The Point to Point™ (P2P) technology braces specific points within the cabinet, identified using Finite Element Analysis and laser interferometry, to reduce low-end frequency reverberations and unwanted energy transfer. This keeps the cabinet rigid and enhances stereo imaging.

HPE™ Technology

The Helmholtz Pressure Equalizer™ (HPE) technology addresses the standing waves common in tall cabinets by converting pressure into velocity. This process eliminates performance-affecting vibrations and ensures an ideal frequency response.

Isolation Suspension Base

The Concept 50 employs an isolation suspension base consisting of two plates separated by suspension spheres. This design isolates the cabinet from external vibrations, contributing to tighter stereo imaging and greater depth in sound.

Aluminum Baffle

The 3mm aluminum baffle plate is a crucial component of the Concept 50. It provides the correct acoustic seal and dampens vibrations, minimizing the structural coupling of the driver assembly within the main cabinet.

High-Frequency Driver Isolation

The high-frequency driver in the Concept 50 is hermetically sealed and mechanically isolated from the front baffle. This floating design protects the tweeter from internal resonances caused by the mid/bass driver, resulting in lower distortion and seamless crossover integration.

Bi-Wire Terminals

The Concept 50 features Bi-Wire terminals, allowing for separate high and low-frequency signal paths. This configuration reduces intermodulation distortion and enhances mid-range clarity.
