KEY FEATURES

  • Gelcore™ cabinet construction reduces higher frequency cabinet noise.
  • P2P™ (Point to Point™) internal bracing stiffens the cabinet to minimise lower frequency vibrations.
  • 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.

OVERVIEW

Home cinema maestro

Our flagship 5.1 home cinema speaker package is comprised of a pair of Concept 50 floorstanders at the front, a pair of Concept 30 standmounts positioned at the rear, with a Concept 90 centre channel focused on dialogue. Finally, our most powerful subwoofer, the Q B12, provides the low-end sonics. All these speaker models (except Q B12 subwoofer) harbour many anti-resonance technologies that contributed to delivering the most realistic, enthralling and enveloping 5.1 surround sound movie experience in the home.

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.

Driver1

Elsewhere, the tweeter is hermetically sealed and mechanically isolated (floating) from the baffle, which means lower distortion and a lower crossover point for seamless integration through the crossover region. At 30.5mm, the larger mid/bass driver voice coil increases motor strength resulting in a 50% increase in power handling over a comparable driver with 25.4 mm voice coil.

Driver1

Lastly, the crossover itself is mounted to the isolation base, keeping it free of sound-effecting vibrations and away from the electro-magnetic influence of the drivers themselves.

HPE™ (Helmholtz Pressure Equalizer™) technology (Concept 50 model only)

The very nature of the Concept 50 tower design can introduce undesirable standing waves within the cabinet. By employing an HPE™ (Helmholtz Pressure Equalizer™) tube design, first launched in the Concept 500, pressure is converted to velocity to eliminate these performance-effecting vibrations and to help deliver the ideal frequency response.

Elegant design

With all the cabinets boasting a premium and luxurious high-gloss finish, this speaker array will fit neatly into any interior design environment. The Concept 50 5.1 arrives in two choices of finish – white or black. A range of optional accessories are also available for this package: The Q WB75 bracket lets you wall mount the Concept 30 and 90 with a 'tilt and turn' mechanism that allows flat to the wall, angled down or sideways positioning. Inspired by the Concept 300’s Tensegrity design, the striking Q FS75 stand is compatible with the Concept 30 should you need perch these rear speakers on a stand.

Gelcore™ technology

Introduced in the original Concept speaker, the Gelcore™ cabinet construction is designed to minimise high-frequency noise. A unique design comprised of a non-setting gel sandwiched between two individual layers, this specially developed adhesive dissipates high-frequency vibrations, generated by the moving drivers, into heat to maintain a focused audio performance.

Concept Test

Isolation suspension system

A variation on the hugely effective ‘isolation base’ principle first seen on Concept 300 means the Concept 50 have a suspension system in the form of a sprung baseplate. Two plates are separated by suspension ‘spheres’ that effectively isolates the cabinet from interference from external vibrations, providing tighter stereo imaging, while also bringing greater depth.

Concept Test

P2P™ (Point to Point™) technology

To keep the cabinet as rigid as possible, P2P™ (Point to Point™) internal bracing is employed. First introduced in the Concept 500, reinforcement is fitted to interior areas of the cabinet susceptible to low-end frequency reverberations..

Our applied technology

Concept is the embodiment of all the technological advances we’ve made since we began, going beyond anything we’ve accomplished before. We truly believe these beautiful speakers deliver a performance never previously heard at these price points.

Oh so quiet

Our aim with the Concept series was to design the ‘quietest’ cabinet possible. From the pioneering Gelcore™ cabinet construction, through to the Isolation Suspension System, these technologies deliver close to a resonance-free speaker design, as possible.

Style along with substance

Exceptional engineering inside the cabinet is matched by stunning design. The premium finishes – white, black or silver lacquers, with dual gloss and Italian wood veneer also available for the 300 and 500 models - fits perfectly into any listening environment.

Gelcore™ cabinet technology 

First introduced in our original Concept loudspeaker, the Gelcore™ cabinet construction is designed to minimise high-frequency noise. A unique design consisting of a non-setting gel sandwiched between two individual layers, our specially developed adhesive converts the high-frequency vibrations generated by driver movement into heat, allowing for a focused and uncoloured audio performance.

Isolation Suspension System

A refinement of the hugely effective ‘isolation base’ principle first fitted to Concept 300, the Concept 50 has an isolation suspension system in the form of a sprung baseplate. Two plates are separated by suspension ‘spheres’ that effectively isolate the cabinet from interference caused by external vibrations. The result is tighter stereo imaging and greater low-frequency extension.

Controlled driver power

Specially developed, ground-up driver designs include a hermitically sealed and decoupled tweeter enclosure to shield from internal resonances from the mid/bass driver and reduce distortion, a driver assembly baffle-mounted design to dampen vibrations, while a larger mid/bass driver voice coil increases motor strength, resulting in a 50% increase in power handling.

P2P™ (Point to Point) bracing

Q Acoustics P2P™ (Point to Point™) bracing technology is used throughout the Concept loudspeaker range - it supports the parts of the cabinet that need to be stiffened, making the elegant enclosures exceptionally rigid. This improves the focus of the stereo image, and gives the soundstage more accuracy than ever before. 

HPE™ (Helmholtz Pressure Equalizer)

The Concept 50 and Concept 500 are, like all floorstanding loudspeakers, vulnerable to internal build-up of pressure that causes both unwanted standing waves and colouration. To prevent this occurring, specially designed HPE™ (Helmholtz Pressure Equaliser™) tubes are fitted inside the cabinet to nullify internal pressure and improve frequency response.

Bi-wire speaker cable terminals 

Each Concept model has bi-wire terminals on the rear of its cabinet. Using appropriate speaker cable, two pairs of cables can connect an amplifier to the speaker - one carries the high-frequency signal, the other carries midrange and low frequencies. Separating these frequencies minimises the intermodulation distortion that arises when using one length of cable to carry the entire frequency range.
