The manufacturer Q Acoustics, founded in 2006 and based north of London in Hertfordshire, is expanding its concept product line to include a bookshelf speaker, a floorstanding speaker and a center speaker. Last but not least, a complete 5.1 home theater setup can now be put together with this series.
Q Acoustics Concept 30, 50, 90: technology, similarities and differences
All three new loudspeakers come with a three millimeter thick aluminum baffle and chassis, which are attached to this by means of pretensioned bolts – this mechanical trick is invisible from the outside. This is intended to dampen disruptive vibrations and prevent unwanted coupling with the main housing. Last but not least, the woofers and tweeters have been newly developed. The latter is hermetically sealed and mechanically decoupled from the baffle via a floating attachment. The crossovers were mounted at the maximum distance from the chassis on a special base in order to keep microphonic effects and magnetic interference as low as possible.
Of the Q Acoustics Concept 30 is a classic, compact two-way speaker with a 125 mm woofer and a 25 mm tweeter coupled at 2.4 kHz. The efficiency of the compact boxes, each weighing 8 kilograms, is declared as 87 dB / W / m.
