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.
Explore the SeriesFront row design
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.
