Q Acoustics Concept 500 Speakers
The Q Acoustics Concept 500 Speakers are designed to appeal to discerning audiophiles. The Concept 500 achieves a perfect balance between art and science. It is a loudspeaker that is at once stylish, contemporary, fine-sounding and astonishingly accurate. It couples low directivity with wide bandwidth, good sensitivity and sensible impedance. This makes the new Concept 500 both room-friendly and easy to load, allowing amplifiers to deliver their best performance.
To create a stereo soundstage that gives as good an impression of width, depth, and height as that found in a live performance requires high-quality drive units, a well-designed crossover, and an accurately constructed cabinet. To achieve this, Q Acoustics formed a truly talented team with many years of experience in the design, engineering and manufacture of world-class loudspeakers. A combination that resulted in a state-of-the-art loudspeaker worthy of any high-end system.
Crossover
Great care has been taken in both the crossover design and the selection of high-grade components to achieve virtually zero noise and distortion. The 4th-order Linkwitz-Riley topology gives an excellent response both on and off-axis.
Cabinet Bracing
A method known as P2P™ (Point-to-Point) bracing supports the parts of the cabinet that need stiffening to address low-frequency panel vibrations.
Cabinet Walls
Constructed in three separate layers and filled under pressure with a non-setting gel, this damps the cabinet walls and converts higher frequency vibrations into heat.
High Frequency Driver
Mechanically decoupled mounting, which effectively isolates the HF driver and speaker cabinet from reciprocal vibrations that would otherwise be transmitted between them.
Mid/Bass Drivers
The Mid/Bass voice coil has an unusually large diameter of 35mm, which allows increased ‘shove’ and higher power handling while reducing compression.
Pressure Equalisers
Tall loudspeakers tend to suffer from resonances caused by unwanted pressure gradients. Specially designed Helmholtz Pressure Equalisers (HPE™) balance out these pressure irregularities.
