Q Acoustics Concept 50 5.1 Package Set

Concept 50 Package Include:

• Concept 30 bookshelf speaker (Pair)
• Concept 50 Floorstanding Speaker (Pair)
• Concept 90 Center Channel Speaaker (Pair)
• Q B12 Subwoofer (Unit)

Q B12 SUB

The first in a new series, the Q B12 mates a long-throw 12-inch driver with a 220-watt Texas Instruments TPA3255 Class D amplifier in a sealed MDF enclosure measuring about 16 x 16 x 17.5 inches. The amplifier is designed to “minimize distortion across the board” and works in tandem with an active limiter that prevents the subwoofer from overloading.

Q Acoustics uses a special ‘dart brace’ to reinforce the cabinet and reduce resonance and vibrations, while a custom die-cast aluminum heat sink supports and cools the amplifier and power supply. The minimalist rear panel has controls for phase and crossover, which can be set between 70 and 225 Hz, and cleverly conceals all connections behind a panel with cables running out from the bottom of the subwoofer.

Initial specs peg the B12’s operating at 28-300 Hz.

Concept 50

No artificial colouring

Suited to larger spaces, the Concept 50 offers a truly high-end home audio performance without the high-end price tag. Every element of acoustic innovation featured in the Concept 50 is geared towards designing the quietest cabinet possible. Unaffected by internal and external resonances, these speakers deliver focused stereo imaging, accurate audio and an extended holographic soundstage to emulate a live performance in the home.

Boasting a higher sensitivity for enhanced dynamics, this floorstander thrills with its sheer musicality and uncannily realistic soundstage.

Controlled power

Designed as an integral part of the mechanical structure of the cabinet, both the 5-inch mid/bass and 0.9-inch tweeter drivers are new, ground-up designs specifically for the Concept 30, 50 and 90 loudspeakers. The drive units are fixed to a remarkably stiff 3mm aluminium baffle plate before it is fitted to the cabinet – this gives the correct acoustic seal, dampening vibrations and minimising structural coupling.

Concept 90

● Gelcore™ cabinet construction reduces higher frequency cabinet noise.

● Isolation suspension base eradicates unwanted external and internal vibrations.

● The driver assembly is mounted to the front aluminium baffle by pretensioned studs to give the correct acoustic seal, while dampen vibrations and minimise structural coupling of the assembly in main cabinet.

● Ground-up mid/bass and tweeter driver design for increased power handling.

● High-frequency driver is fully hermetically sealed and mechanically isolated (floating) from the front baffle to protect from internal resonances from the mid/bass driver.

● Crossover design is mounted on the isolation base, to minimise any microphonic pick up and away from electro-magnetic fields radiated by the drive units.
