Precision in Driver Technology

At the core of the Q Acoustics 5050 lies its game-changing C3 Continuous Curved Cone™ mid/bass driver. This innovative design takes the best elements of traditional straight conic cones and flared designs—creating a single, smooth curve that offers exceptional dispersion, reduced distortion, and superior integration with the tweeter. The result? Deep, responsive bass and beautifully controlled midrange, with a level of detail that truly stands out.

Designed for Performance and Elegance

The 5050 isn’t just engineered for sonic brilliance—it’s crafted with Scandinavian-inspired elegance. The cabinet features a layered front baffle with vibration-damping butyl rubber and black acrylic trim, ensuring that both aesthetics and performance remain uncompromised. The result is a clean, contemporary look that enhances any listening space while delivering sound with astonishing purity.

Built to Handle More Power

The mid/bass driver in the 5050 features a 50% increase in power handling, thanks to its larger voice coils and substantial magnets. This translates to a dramatic improvement in dynamic range, particularly in the bass region. Whether you’re playing music at intimate, low volumes or at room-shaking levels, the 5050 remains effortlessly composed—offering deep, tightly controlled bass and lifelike presence across all frequencies.

Innovative Acoustic Engineering

Exclusive to the 5050 floorstanding speakers, Helmholtz Pressure Equalization™ (HPE™) technology helps reduce internal standing waves—a common challenge in larger speaker cabinets. By effectively controlling unwanted resonances, this ensures the cleanest possible bass response and an immersive soundstage that feels expansive and natural.
