Q Acoustics 5050 Floorstanding Speakers Black
Where sheer scale, widescreen sound-staging and complete audio-fidelity are concerned, the Q Acoustics 5050 floorstanding Speakers outperform competition with ease. If you have a bigger space to fill with beautiful and accurate sound, the 5050 is the speaker you need. Supplied with magnetically fixed grilles.
The new 5000 series from Q Acoustics is a range of stereo and home cinema speakers that will recalibrate your perceptions of how a speaker looks and sounds. 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.
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 use a laminated layer of butyl rubber and black acrylic trim, not only to provide a damping layer to suppress vibration occurring in the baffle but also to offer an eye-catching counterpoint to the cosmetically clean front presentation uninterrupted by any fixings.
The C3 Continuous Curved Cone is at the heart of the mid/bass driver design. The cone's geometry requires good motor strength for optimal performance. The result is an improvement in the Q Acoustics 5050 Floorstanding Speakers' dynamic range, especially in the bass region.
Based on the tweeter design principle 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 within the cabinet and adjacent mid/bass driver. The inner chamber also uses a vent for lower distortion, with a lower crossover point for seamless integration. A genuine advancement in elements of mid/bass driver design, the C3 Continuous Curved Cone 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, well-controlled frequency response, and reduced harmonic distortion enable smoother integration with the tweeter. Deep bass dynamics are also superior, and this tighter, damped, low-end sound allows more flexibility in placing speakers near the wall boundaries of the listening room. P2P (Point to Point) bracing. Q Acoustics P2P (point-to-point) bracing in the 5050 speakers supports the parts of the enclosure that need to be stiffer.
The enclosures are exceptionally rigid, improving the focus of the stereo image and giving the soundstage more accuracy than ever. HPE (Helmholtz Pressure Equalizer) technology converts pressure to velocity, reducing the overall pressure gradient within the speaker enclosure. The 5050 floorstanding speakers use this only to reduce cabinet resonance. This technology is perfect for taller loudspeakers that resonate at a single favoured frequency.
