The all-new Q Acoustics 5050 Floorstanding Speaker

British audio specialist Q Acoustics introduces the 5050 – the flagship model in its multiple award-winning 5000 stereo and home cinema loudspeaker series.
The largest speaker in the range and available now, this floorstanding speaker has the scale, power and poise to bring your music vividly to life. Boasting the biggest-sized drivers in the series, the 5050 will fill even the largest listening rooms with dynamic and natural sound.

Showcasing genuine advancement in driver design, the introduction of the leading-edge C³ Continuous Curved ConeTM profile in the mid/bass driver elevates the 5050 and 5000 series beyond its class and will form a technical platform for years to come. Alongside its series siblings, the 5050 also inherits innovative cabinet and driver technology from the company’s flagship Concept range for an exceptional sonic performance, while bringing sophistication to any listening room with its contemporary and minimalist design lines.

The 5050 joins the 5000 family, comprising of the 5010 bookshelf, 5020 standmount, 5040 floorstander, with the 5090 centre-channel completing the line-up for a home cinema speaker set-up.

5050 audio innovations include:

• C³ (pronounced ‘C-cubed’) Continuous Curved ConeTM design in the mid/bass driver ensures smoother high-frequency integration with the tweeter and superior bass dynamics.
• Boasting powerful six-inch mid/bass drivers for a commanding but nuanced room-filling sound.
• Sophisticated, clean and contemporary design with dark acrylic baffle motif mirrors the minimalist C³ Continuous Curved ConeTM profile.
• 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 to Point (P2PTM) internal bracing stiffens the cabinet to minimise lower frequency vibrations, while focusing stereo imaging and improving soundstage.
• Four Helmholtz Pressure Equalisers (HPETM) tubes are fitted inside the 5050 to reduce internal pressure and standing waves.

C³ Continuous Curved ConeTM design

A genuine advancement in elements of mid/bass driver design, the C³ Continuous Curved ConeTM 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 manifold. Firstly, its excellent dispersion, alongside its well-controlled frequency response, enables smoother integration with the tweeter. Deep bass dynamics are also superior, with this and tighter, damped low-end sound allowing more flexibility in placement of speakers near the wall boundaries of the listening room. Harmonic distortion is also reduced, ensuring the 5000 series delivers a sonic performance and wide soundstage that belies its ranking.
The C³ Continuous Curved ConeTM profile hassuccessfully addressed shortcomings in one of the basic geometrical elements of drive unit design to deliver the best characteristics of both straight and flared cones.
