Q Acoustics

About this resource

Q Acoustics was formed in 2006 by audio-industry specialists with an initial focus on affordable loudspeakers. Its first 1000 series covered stereo and home cinema, and the company’s account describes subsequent passive, wireless and multichannel ranges. The present homepage separates 3000c, 3000i, 5000, Concept, Q Active and Q Sub families, giving visitors several different system and price-level entry points. ^{[1] [2]}

The technology page explains Gelcore as a non-setting gel between MDF cabinet layers, intended to dissipate vibration as heat. Dual Gelcore adds a third layer in specified Concept models. Point-to-Point bracing supports areas vulnerable to low-frequency vibration, while Helmholtz Pressure Equalizer tubes address internal pressure effects in tall enclosures. The page locates Dual Gelcore in Concept 300 and 500, and HPE in Concept 500 and 3050i. ^[3]

For conventional systems, the 5000 range shows the relationship between bookshelf, floorstanding and centre-channel speakers through models such as 5020, 5040, 5050 and 5090. Concept provides another route into cabinet-engineering material, and Q Active offers the wireless-system branch. The useful comparison is therefore both application and construction: stereo pairs, home-theater channels and integrated wireless listening involve different equipment arrangements, even within one brand’s catalogue. ^{[1] [2] [3]}
