KEY FEATURES
- C3 Continuous Curved ConeTM 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.
- Available 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.
- Ground-up mid/bass driver design delivers increased power handling.
- Point-2-PointTM (P2P) internal bracing stiffens the cabinet to minimise lower frequency vibrations, while focusing stereo imaging and improving soundstage.
OVERVIEW
Ahead of the curve
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 Cone™ 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
Sophisticated and contemporary design
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.
Mid/bass driver design
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. Substantial magnets are coupled to large voice coils to increase motor strength - the result is a 50% increase in power handling and control over a comparable driver with 25.4 mm voice coil. The result is an improvement in the dynamic range of the speaker, especially in the bass region.
High-frequency driver design
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.
C3 Continuous Curved Cone™
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, 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 in placement of speakers near the wall boundaries of the listening room.

Introducing the 5000 family
tween the acclaimed Concept models and award-winning 3000c range sits the 5000 series: 5010 bookshelf, 5020 standmount, 5040 floorstander, 5050 large floorstander and 5090 centre channel. Whether for stereo or home cinema systems, the 5000 sets new standards.
Explore the SeriesCurve appeal
Its ground-breaking C³ ‘Continuous Curved Cone’ mid/bass driver means the 5000 series delivers audio quality beyond its class. From the precise, clean top end via the eloquent, open midrange to powerful, controlled bass, it sounds exceptional.
Explore the SeriesSophisticated looks
The 5000 series arrives in four contemporary and stylisg finishes: Satin Black, Satin White, light ‘Pin Oak’ and dark ‘Claro Walnut’ wood. This continuation of our ‘minimalist’ design language means the 5000 fits easily into any interior design scheme.

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, but to offer an eye-catching counterpoint to the cosmetically clean front presentation uninterrupted by any fixings.
Explore the SeriesC3 Continuous Curved Cone™ driver
The advanced C3 profile combines the bass performance benefits of a traditional straight conic cone with the midrange control of a flared design. By creating a continuous curve profile, we’ve achieved excellent dispersion characteristics, well-controlled frequency response and seamless integration with the tweeter. Bass dynamics are improved, low-end control is superior, it’s more forgiving of room position too.
Mid/bass driver design
The cone geometry of the C³ driver requires exceptional motor strength for optimal performance, so substantial magnets are coupled to the voice coils. The control exerted by the large magnets ensures superb dynamic response and headroom along with articulate bass presence. The magnets also reduce harmonic distortion, as they ensure near-saturation of the pole plate and yoke.
High-frequency driver design
Based on the tweeter design principle found in the Concept series, the high-frequency drive unit is hermetically sealed and mechanically isolated from the baffle to prevent internal pressure modulations from within the cabinet and from the adjacent C³ driver. The inner chamber is vented for lower distortion, and has a lower crossover point for seamless integration throughout the crossover region.
P2P™ (Point to Point) bracing
Q Acoustics P2P™ (Point to Point™) bracing used throughout the 3000c 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.
HPE™ (Helmholtz Pressure Equalizer)
The 3050c is, like all floorstanding loudspeakers, vulnerable to internal build-up of pressure that causes 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.
