Put the Q Acoustics 5090 Centre Speaker at the centre of your home cinema system and get the complete picture. Projecting dialogue ahead of even the most full-on Hollywood action movie soundtrack and also delivering all the subtlety and nuance of art-house favourites with equal ease and conviction.
Ahead of the curve
The new 5000 series from Q Acoustics is a range of stereo and home cinema speakers that will recalibrate your perceptions of how a speaker looks and sounds. By embodying genuine and significant advancement in driver design, the game-changing C3 Continuous Curved Cone mid/bass driver elevates the 5090 centre speaker beyond any nominal rival.
Sophisticated and contemporary design
The reductive nature of the C3 Continuous Curved Cone’s appearance is also reflected in the 5090 centre speaker’s minimalist design, with its sophisticated but contemporary lines leaning towards the elegant form of the latest Concept speaker series.
The baffle fronts use a laminated layer of butyl rubber and black acrylic trim, not only to provide a damping layer to suppress vibration occurring in the baffle but also to offer an eye-catching counterpoint to the cosmetically clean front presentation uninterrupted by any fixings.
Mid/bass driver design
The C3 Continuous Curved Cone is at the heart of the mid/bass driver design. The cone’s geometry requires good motor strength for optimal performance. Substantial magnets are coupled to large voice coils to increase motor strength. The result is a further 50% increase in power handling and control over a comparable driver with a 25.4 mm voice coil.
The result is an improvement in the Q Acoustics 5090 Centre Speaker’s dynamic range, especially in the bass region.
High-frequency driver design
Based on the tweeter design principle in the newest Concept series, the high-frequency driver unit of the Q Acoustics 5090 is hermetically sealed and mechanically isolated (floating) from the baffle to prevent internal pressure modulations within the cabinet and adjacent mid/bass driver. The inner chamber also uses a vent for lower distortion, with a lower crossover point for seamless integration.
C3 Continuous Curved Cone
A genuine advancement in elements of mid/bass driver design, the C3 Continuous Curved Cone profile used on the Q Acoustics 5090 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 clear. Its excellent dispersion, well-controlled frequency response, and reduced harmonic distortion also enable smoother integration with the tweeter. Deep bass dynamics are also superior, and this tighter, damped, low-end sound allows more flexibility in placing 5090 centre speaker near the wall boundaries of the listening room.
