Description

Ahead of the curve

The new 5000 series from Q Acoustics is a range of stereo and home cinema loudspeakers that will recalibrate your perceptions of how a speaker can look and sound. By embodying genuine and significant advancement in driver design, the game-changing C3 Continuous Curved Cone™ mid/bass driver elevates the 5000 series beyond any nominal rival. By incorporating the innovative cabinet technology first deployed in the company’s flagship Concept range, the 5000 series is as uncompromised on the inside as it is sophisticated and contemporary on the outside.

Leading-edge innovations

The new 5000 series of stereo and home cinema speakers from Q Acoustics sets a new benchmark in appearance and performance. By taking the class-leading cabinet construction technologies that help make the company’s acclaimed Concept range of loudspeakers so successful, and by introducing a wholly new, technologically innovative design in the hugely significant C3 Continuous Curved Cone™ mid/bass driver, Q Acoustics liberates flagship loudspeaker performance from an affordable and attainable range of loudspeakers.

Sophisticated and contemporary design

The reductive nature of the C3 Continuous Curved Cone’s™ appearance is also reflected in the 5000 series minimalist design, with its sophisticated but contemporary lines leaning towards the elegant form of the latest Concept speaker series. The baffle fronts are laminated with a layer of butyl rubber and black acrylic trim, not only to provide a damping layer to suppress vibration occurring in the baffle, but to offer an eye-catching counterpoint to the cosmetically clean front presentation uninterrupted by any fixings. All speaker models arrive in a choice of four modern but classic finishes that complement any living space, including the introduction of new stylish lighter wood finish. High-quality finishes include Satin Black, Satin White, Santos Rosewood and Holme Oak.

Class-leading technology

Alongside significant advancement in driver design, the 5000 series also inherits innovative cabinet and acoustic technology from the company’s flagship Concept range.

C3 Continuous Curved Coneâ„¢

A genuine advancement in elements of mid/bass driver design, the C3 Continuous Curved Coneâ„¢ profile is the result of extensive research and expert engineering to combine the bass performance benefits of a traditional straight conic cone with the high/mid-range frequency control of a flared cone. By creating a single, smooth, continuous curve profile, the advantages are clear. Its excellent dispersion, alongside its well-controlled frequency response and reduced harmonic distortion, enables smoother integration with the tweeter. Deep bass dynamics are also superior, with this and tighter, damped low-end sound allowing more flexibility in in placement of speakers near the wall boundaries of the listening room.

Mid/bass driver design

At the heart of the ground-up mid/bass driver design is the C3 Continuous Curved Coneâ„¢. The cone’s geometry requires good motor strength for optimal performance. Substantial magnets are coupled to large voice coils to increase motor strength – the result is a 50% increase in power handling and control over a comparable driver with 25.4 mm voice coil. The result is an improvement in the dynamic range of the speaker, especially in the bass region.

High-frequency driver design

Based on the tweeter design principle found in the newest Concept series, the high frequency driver unit is hermetically sealed and mechanically isolated (floating) from the baffle to prevent internal pressure modulations from within the cabinet and adjacent mid/bass driver. The inner chamber is also carefully vented for lower distortion, with a lower crossover point for seamless integration through the crossover region.

Key Features

     

  • C3 Continuous Curved ConeTM design in the mid/bass driver ensures smoother high-frequency integration with the tweeter and superior bass dynamics.

    •  

  • Sophisticated, clean and contemporary design with dark acrylic baffle motif mirrors the minimalist C3 Continuous Curved ConeTM profile.

    •  

  • Available in four stylish finishes: Satin Black,Satin White, Santos Rosewood and Holme Oak.

    •  

  • With a design taken from the Concept series but in a new housing, the high-frequency driver is fully hermetically sealed and mechanically isolated from the front baffle to protect from internal cabinet pressure and resonances from the mid/bass driver.

    •  

  • Ground-up mid/bass driver design delivers increased power handling.

    •  

  • Point-2-PointTM (P2P) internal bracing stiffens the cabinet to minimise lower frequency vibrations, while focusing stereo imaging and improving soundstage.
