Concept 500 is the culmination of Q Acoustics continual evolution and refinement resulting in what Q Acoustic believe is sonic perfection.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/centre\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned to appeal to discerning audiophiles, the Concept 500 achieves a perfect balance between art and science. It is a loudspeaker that is at once, stylish, contemporary, fine-sounding and astonishingly accurate. It couples low directivity with wide bandwidth, good sensitivity and sensible impedance. This makes the new Concept 500 both room-friendly and an easy load to drive, allowing amplifiers to deliver their best performance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo create a stereo soundstage which gives as good an impression of width, depth and height as that found in a live performance requires high quality drive units, a well designed crossover and an accurately constructed cabinet. To achieve this, Q Acoustics formed a truly talented team with many years of experience in the design, engineering and manufacture of world-class loudspeakers. A combination that resulted in a state-of-the-art loudspeaker worthy of any high-end system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStunning Finishes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Concept 500 is available in five stunning finishes to ensure that they fit perfectly into your listening environment. Gloss Black and White finishes show Concept 500 in a minimalist form, a seamless addition in busy design environments. Dual finish Gloss Black \/ Rosewood, Gloss White \/ Light Oak and Silver \/ Ebony finishes use real Italian veneers at the rear giving an understated and effortlessly stylish nod to Concept 500s high end speaker credentials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eExperience Q Acoustics' Best Speaker Yet\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFinish\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGloss black or gloss white finishes have been combined with Italian real-wood veneer, chosen for its consistency in colour and pattern. The veneer is used sparingly in a subtle strip to create a cabinet that is visually light and clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCrossover\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGreat care has been taken in both the design of the crossover and the selection of high grade components, to introduce virtually zero noise and distortion. The 4th-order Linkwitz-Riley topology which gives an excellent response both on and off-axis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eP2P Cabinet Bracing\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA method, known as P2P (Point to Point) bracing, supports the parts of the cabinet that need to be stiffened to deal with low frequency panel vibrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGelcore Cabinet Walls\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConstructed in three separated laters filled under pressure with a non-setting gel, this damps the cabinet walls and converts high frequency vibrations into heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTerminals and Rear Access Panel\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe rear access panel has been constructed to maintain the integrity of the Dual Gelcore cabinet.

Specially designed Helmholtz Pressure Equalisers (HPE) balance out these pressure irregularities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCabinet Plinth\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe cast aluminium base of the Concept 500 is designed without large flat areas or additional adornments to discourage unwanted reflections. The resulting elegant design is underpinned with a choice of carefully engineered feet to immovably couple the loudspeaker to any surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrequency Response\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e41 Hz - 30 kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAverage Impedance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum Impedance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.7 \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecommended Power\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 - 200 W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDistortion (120 Hz - 20 kHz)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.2 %\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCrossover Frequency\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.5 kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMid Bass \/ Driver\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 x 165 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh Frequency Unit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize (W x H x D)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e400 x 1150 x 350 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e42 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLinks are provided to adjust the high frequency\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e+ or - 0.5 dB.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eManufacturer Site\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003ca\u003eQ Acoustics\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Q Acoustics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51938312290570,"sku":null,"price":4599.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/3283\/6618\/files\/q-acoustics-concept-500-loudspeakers-gloss-black-21149-p.png?v=1760362174","url":"https:\/\/audioemotion.co.uk\/products\/qacoustics-concept500","provider":"Audio Emotion Limited","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
