Q Acoustics 5050 Floor Standing Speakers. Experience high-quality audio with the Q Acoustics 5050 Pair of Floorstanding Speakers in Santos Rosewood. The high-frequency driver is fully hermetically sealed, and the Helmholtz Pressure Equalisers (HPETM) reduces internal pressure and standing waves. These wired speakers have a 2.0 channel system configuration and support any directly surround sound formats.
They are compatible with universal brands and models and have a sophisticated, clean, and contemporary design taken from the Concept series. The speakers are made of MDF-Aluminium-Butyl Rubber and have a unit quantity of 1 pair. The Q Acoustics 5050 Pair of Floorstanding Speakers is a perfect addition to your home audio and HiFi separates. Where sheer scale, widescreen sound-staging and complete audio-fidelity are concerned, the 5050 outperforms its nominal competition with ease. If you have a bigger space to fill with the most beautifully and accurately reproduced sound, the 5050 floorstander is the speaker you need.
Supplied with magnetically fixed grilles. The Q Acoustics 5050 is the flagship floorstanding speaker in the 5000 series, designed for medium to large rooms and offering a significant step up in scale and bass depth compared to its siblings. 2024 Product of the Year for floorstanding speakers. The Q Acoustics 5050 is a top-tier floorstander offering powerful, detailed sound with deep bass and refined engineering, ideal for those seeking a flagship experience in larger listening spaces.
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 ConeT 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. 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. At the heart of the ground-up mid/bass driver design is the C3 Continuous Curved Cone. The cone's geometry requires good motor strength for optimal performance. The result is an improvement in the dynamic range of the speaker, especially in the bass region. 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. A genuine advancement in elements of mid/bass driver design, the C3 Continuous Curved ConeT 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 placement of speakers near the wall boundaries of the listening room. P2PT (Point to Point) bracing. Q Acoustics P2PT (Point to Point) bracing used throughout the 5000 series supports the parts of the enclosure that need to be stiffened making the new enclosures exceptionally rigid, improving the focus of the stereo image and giving the soundstage more accuracy than ever before. HPET (Helmholtz Pressure Equalizer) technology designed to convert pressure to velocity and reduce the overall pressure gradient within the speaker enclosure, has been applied to the 5050 floorstanding speakers only to reduce cabinet resonance. This technology is perfect for taller loudspeakers that tend to resonate at a single favoured frequency. Delivers impressive clarity, insight, and a wide, layered soundstage.Strong dynamics with tightly controlled, articulate bass. Best suited for larger spaces, as the sound can be overwhelming in smaller rooms. Slightly forward tonal balance; pairs best with neutral or warmer electronics to avoid excessive brightness.
Fatigue-free, with a gradual roll-off outside the sweet spot, making them versatile for different room positions. C3 Continuous Curved Cone 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.
Arrives 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. Point-2-PointTM (P2P) internal bracing stiffens the cabinet to minimise lower frequency vibrations, while focusing stereo imaging and improving soundstage. Helmholtz Pressure Equalisers (HPETM) reduces internal pressure and standing waves.
Bass: Deepest and most powerful bass in the 5000 series, thanks to 20% larger bass cones and increased cabinet volume. Cabinet: Rigid, well-braced enclosure with four Helmholtz pressure equalising tubes to reduce internal resonances. 2 x 150 mm (6.0 in). 1 x 25 mm (1.0 in).
(-6dB)37 Hz - 30 kHz. Dimensions (per loudspeaker / HxWxD) Inc spikes and stabiliser. 1017 x 366 x 336 mm (40.0 x 15.2 x 13.2 in).21.6 kg (47.6 lbs). Materials Used for The Q Acoustics 5050.
Constructed from solid MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard) for strength and rigidity, with internal point-to-point (P2P) bracing to further stiffen the structure and reduce vibrations. Lined with butyl rubber for resonance damping and finished with a glossy black acrylic trim for aesthetics. The tweeter is a 25mm soft dome, and the mid/bass drivers use advanced materials in their C3 (Continuous Curved Cone) design, though specific cone material details are not explicitly listed in the sources.Features four Helmholtz Pressure Equalising (HPE) tubes to control internal air pressure and reduce standing waves. Includes solid aluminium stabilisers with adjustable spikes for secure placement.
Available in Satin Black, Satin White, Holme Oak, and Santos Rosewood, with the wood options using real wood veneers. These materials and design choices contribute to the speaker's rigidity, resonance control, and overall audio performance. What's in the box. 1 x 5050 floorstanding speaker. 1 x Owner's Manual.
