Q-Acoustics Concept 500 Reference-Floorstanding-Speaker

Since it was founded in 2006, Q Acoustics has established itself as a leading manufacturer of inexpensive, great-sounding speakers. Now the time is ripe for the next step - the Q Acoustics Concept 500!

The Concept 500 is a high-class floorstanding loudspeaker for discerning audiophile listeners, which combines art and science in a congenial way. The loudspeaker convinces with a stylish, modern and elegant appearance as well as an impressively realistic and accurate music reproduction. It combines precise localization with a room-filling sound image and high sensitivity with a practical impedance. As a result, the new Concept 500 not only sounds absolutely fantastic in most rooms, but can also be easily controlled with almost all amplifiers. In order to create a sound stage that is impressive in all dimensions, as we know it from live music, excellent loudspeaker chassis, carefully tuned crossovers and a properly constructed housing are essential. With a highly qualified team with many years of experience in the design, development and manufacture of excellent loudspeakers, Q Acoustics succeeded in creating the Concept 500 - a high-end loudspeaker that is technically, optically and sonically pure.

Crossover

Carefully selected high-quality components allow the crossover to work practically free of noise and distortion. 4th order Linkwitz-Riley crossovers are used, which offer excellent playback properties both on and off the axis.

P2P ™ housing stiffeners

With the P2P ™ (point-to-point) method, the housing parts that are prone to low-frequency vibrations are specifically stiffened.

Gelcore ™ housing walls

Three-layer housing walls, the spaces between which have been filled with a non-hardening gel under pressure, absorb housing resonances and convert high-frequency vibrations into heat.

Tweeter

The tweeter is mechanically decoupled from the housing, which protects the chassis and housing from vibrations that would normally be transmitted between them.

Woofer

The voice coil of the bass-midrange speaker has an unusually large diameter of 35 mm, which leads to an excellent impulse response, a very high load capacity and reduced dynamic compression.

HPE ™ pressure equalizer

Slim loudspeakers run the risk of producing pronounced standing waves inside. The special Helmholtz pressure equalizers (HPE ™) equalize pressure differences within the housing.
