Besides sharing the same unique cabinet isolation system with other Concept speakers, the Q Acoustics Concept 90 Centre Speaker also employs this feature. In a nutshell, the Concept 90 is equipped with a cabinet inside a cabinet separated by a special resonance-cancellation compound called Gelcore. This allows for significantly less cabinet movement and therefore much lower distortion levels.
Q Acoustics Concept 90 Centre Speaker
The Concept 90 that was tested with a laser to prove the effectiveness of it simply produces sound that is clearer and more natural and is therefore perfect for clear and easily understood dialogues.
At the heart of a Concept 5.1 home cinema set-up, the Q Acoustics Concept 90 Centre Speaker is our most high-performance centre channel speaker yet. Able to deliver astonishingly dynamic and ultra-clear dialogue, this speaker is the star of the Concept home cinema range.
Outstanding Sound Reproduction
A centre channel speaker in a 5.1 home cinema set-up plays a crucial role in conveying realistic surround sound. More than supporting the left and right speakers, a centre channel anchors the dialogue while seamlessly part of the soundstage.
As a key player in the Concept 5.1 package. The Concept 90 is our most advanced and striking centre speaker. It features many anti-resonance technologies in its Concept stablemates to deliver focused but captivating cinema sound.
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 90, 50, and 90 speakers. The drive units are fixed to a remarkably stiff 3mm aluminium baffle plate before fitting to the cabinet. This gives the correct acoustic seal, dampens vibrations, and minimises structural coupling.
Elsewhere, the tweeter is hermetically sealed and mechanically isolated (floating) from the baffle. Which means lower distortion and a lower crossover point for seamless integration through the crossover region of the Concept 90 centre. At 30.5mm, the larger mid/bass driver voice coil increases motor strength. Resulting in a 50% increase in power handling over a comparable driver with a 25.4 mm 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 90 tower design can introduce undesirable standing waves within the cabinet. An HPE tube design launched in the Concept 500 converts pressure to velocity to eliminate these performance-affecting vibrations and help deliver the ideal frequency response.
Elegant Design
The Concept 90 speaker was designed in the style of the remarkably Concept 30 and 50 speakers, so it was a really good looking design from the start. Besides the rounded corners and high gloss finish. The Concept 90 is a speaker that you will be proud of displaying. You can select gloss silver, white or black to perfectly match your other speakers.
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 to maintain a focused audio performance.
Isolation Suspension System
A variation on the hugely effective ‘isolation base’ principle first seen on Concept 300 means the Concept 90 speaker has a suspension system as a sprung baseplate. Suspension ‘spheres’ separate two plates. Effectively isolating the cabinet from interference from external vibrations. Providing tighter stereo imaging and depth.
Point to Point Technology
P2P (point-to-point) internal bracing keeps the cabinet as rigid as possible. Firstly introduced in the Concept 500, reinforcement is fitted to interior areas of the cabinet susceptible to low-end frequency reverberations.
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.
Features and Benefits
- Standard Frequency Response: Reproduces vocal frequencies with clarity and precision.
- Gelcore Cabinet Design: The enclosure’s resonating frequencies are reduced to eliminate distortion and impurity in the sound performance. As vibrations are minimised.
- Seamless Pairing: Work effortlessly with other Concept series speakers. For an even audio profile throughout the room.
- Wide Sound Distribution: This system’s advantage is that it delivers sound at the same level to each seat.
- Construction: Panel technology ensures an advanced construction that contains the micro details of the audio. So that it’s displayed accurately and is free from distortion.
- Exclusive Aesthetic: You can acquire this speaker in a black or white premium. Design to fit perfectly into the image of fine and great taste.
- Easy Installation: Its unique plug-and-play feature and minimalism make it an edgy and budget-friendly solution in the sound department.
Summary of the Q Acoustics Concept 90 Centre Speaker
Combining the high-quality finish with the Gelcore cabinet. The speaker is more than just a source of sound; it is also a feast for the eyes. Distortion is significantly reduced, and besides aesthetic improvement. The design is a real attraction in any room.
Consistent Performance
Its sound output covers a wide angle, so you get perfect sound from the centre and even the second and third rows if you are located some distance from the television. Its consistent performance does not just uplift your listening experience in the frontal seat; it is like a tide that lifts all ships.
