Q Acoustics Concept 50 Floorstanding Speakers
The Q Acoustics Concept 50 are designed to deliver more than just regular listening. They are tall, fabulous, and produce an exceptional sonic performance.
A sonic step up from the Concept 30, these elegant Q Acoustics Concept 50 floorstanding Speakers take everything great about their standmount brother and deliver more powerful audio and a deeper soundstage. Plus, increased bass extension through their leading-edge, low-resonance cabinet.
Outstanding Sound Reproduction
Suitable for larger spaces, the Concept 50 offers truly high end home audio performance without a high-end price tag. Every element of acoustic innovation featured in the Q Acoustics Concept 50 is designed to create the quietest cabinet possible. Unaffected by internal and external resonances, these speakers deliver focused stereo imaging, accurate audio and an extended soundstage.
Boasting a higher sensitivity for enhanced dynamics, this floorstander thrills with both its sheer musicality and uncannily realistic soundstage.
Controlled Power
Designed as an integral part of the cabinet’s mechanical structure, the 5-inch mid/bass and 1.0-inch tweeter drivers are new, ground-up designs specifically for the Concept 30, 50, and 90 speakers. The drive units are fixed to a remarkably stiff 3mm aluminium baffle plate before they are fitted to the cabinet. This gives the correct acoustic seal, dampening vibrations and minimising structural coupling.
Elsewhere, the tweeter is hermetically sealed and mechanically isolated (floating) from the baffle, which results in lower distortion and a lower crossover point, allowing for seamless integration through the crossover region. At 30.5mm, the larger mid/bass driver’s voice coil increases motor strength. Resulting in a 50% increase in power handling compared to a comparable driver with a 25.4mm voice coil.
Lastly, the crossover mounts to the isolation base, keeping it free of sound-affecting vibrations and away from electromagnetic influence.
HPE (Helmholtz Pressure Equalizer) Technology
The very nature of the Concept 50 tower design can introduce undesirable standing waves within the cabinet. An HPE tube design, launched in the Concept 500, converts pressure to velocity. Eliminating performance-affecting vibrations and helping to deliver the ideal frequency response.
Elegant Design
Boasting the same sophisticated design lines and stunning, premium high gloss finish of the top-of-the-range 300 and 500 models, the new range retains the signature aluminium front baffle plate that made the original Concept speakers so iconic. The Q Acoustics Concept 50 Floorstanding Speakers arrive in three striking lacquers: black, silver and white.
Gelcore Technology
Introduced in the original Concept speaker, the Gelcore cabinet construction minimises high-frequency noise. A unique design comprised of a non setting gel sandwiched between two individual layers. This specially developed adhesive also dissipates high-frequency vibrations generated by the moving drivers into heat, maintaining a focused audio performance.
Isolation Suspension System
A variation on the hugely effective ‘isolation base’ principle first seen on Concept 300 means the Concept 50 speakers have a suspension system as a sprung baseplate. Suspension ‘spheres’ separate the two plates, effectively isolating the cabinet from external vibrations and providing tighter stereo imaging and depth.
Point to Point Technology
P2P (point-to-point) internal bracing keeps the cabinet as rigid as possible. First introduced in the Concept 500, reinforcement is fitted to interior areas of the cabinet that are susceptible to low-end frequency reverberations. The speaker cabinet’s performance is examined down to the microscopic level using P2P bracing, finite element analysis, and laser interferometry.
Implementing this state-of-the-art technology, Q Acoustics has been able to identify and apply bracing to only the precise points of the cabinet that require additional support. Dissipating unwanted energy rather than transferring it throughout the cabinet.
Modern Look
The Concept 50 speakers stand out in terms of sleek design, making them a part of even the most fashionable interiors. Their simplicity does not in any way take from, but only gives a different colour to, the loudness of the premises.
Exceptional Sound
While the user experiences a high level of similarity to being in front of a cinema screen, the speakers do not forget their primary function. To play the most precise and most harmonious human voice.

Summary of Q Acoustics Concept 50 Floorstanding Speakers
The Concept 50 is a superb sonic offering that audiophiles will love, as it delivers exceptional sound quality. Their functionality allows you to get a focused and properly organised sound, whether you are a music or movie fan.
Fits in Any Room
Since it’s an A/V product, the tower speaker pair also shows its powerful character. Their stylish outlook is a perfect match for any room. And they are thus neither just an audio device nor a clock for the room.
Enduring Treasure
What about their performance? And as for their appearance, are they still strong? The Concept 50 speakers truly make a landmark in the consumer market for speakers that are both aesthetically pleasing and very stylish. They are a constant and reliable source of high end quality for a long duration.
