Key Features
New ground-up C³ (pronounced ‘C-cubed’) Continuous Curved Cone™ mid/bass profile ensures superior bass dynamics and smoother integration with the high frequency driver.
Based on design principles found in the newest Concept series, the hermetically sealed high frequency driver unit is mechanically isolated from the baffle, preventing modulation from the mid/bass driver.
Low colouration cabinets with P2P™ (Point to Point™) bracing, minimising low-end reverberation to improve the stereo image and soundstage.
Boasts a clean and contemporary aesthetic with sophisticated satin metallic driver trims.
Available in four new finishes: Pin Oak, Claro Walnut, Satin White, Satin Black.
Introducing the 3000c family
Straight stereo or Surround-sound, the 3000c is ready to bring music and movies vividly to life. The line-up consists of the 3010c bookshelf, 3020c standmount, 3030c large standmount, the 3050c floorstander and the 3090c centre channel for home cinema fans.
Genuine driver innovation
3000c features the innovative C³ Continuous Curved Cone mid/bass driver design that elevates the series beyond its nominal rivals. It delivers sound that’s powerful and controlled in the bass, expressive and confident in the midrange, and eloquent at the top end.
Contemporary looks
Continuing our ‘minimalist design’ ethos, 3000c is available in four contemporary and high-quality finishes: Satin White, Satin Black, Pin Oak (light wood) and Claro Walnut (dark wood) guarantee the 3000c will fit seamlessly with an interior design vocabulary.
C³ Continuous Curved Cone™ driver
The advanced C³ profile combines the bass performance benefits of a traditional straight conic cone with the midrange control of a flared design. By creating a continuous curve profile, we’ve achieved excellent dispersion characteristics, well-controlled frequency response and seamless integration with the tweeter. Bass dynamics are improved, low-end control is superior, it’s more forgiving of room position too.
Mid/bass driver design
The cone geometry of the C³ driver requires exceptional motor strength for optimal performance, so substantial magnets are coupled to the voice coils. The control exerted by the large magnets ensures superb dynamic response and headroom along with articulate bass presence. The magnets also reduce harmonic distortion, as they ensure near-saturation of the pole plate and yoke.
High-frequency driver design
Based on the tweeter design principle found in the Concept series, the high-frequency drive unit is hermetically sealed and mechanically isolated from the baffle to prevent internal pressure modulations from within the cabinet and from the adjacent C³ driver. The inner chamber is vented for lower distortion, and has a lower crossover point for seamless integration throughout the crossover region.
P2P™ (Point to Point) bracing
Q Acoustics P2P™ (Point to Point™) bracing used throughout the 5000 series supports the parts of the enclosure that need to be stiffened making the new enclosures exceptionally rigid, improving the focus of the stereo image and giving the soundstage more accuracy than ever before.
HPE™ (Helmholtz Pressure Equalizer)
The 5040 and 5050 are, like all floorstanding loudspeakers, vulnerable to internal build-up of pressure that causes unwanted standing waves and colouration. To prevent this occurring, specially designed HPE™ (Helmholtz Pressure Equaliser™) tubes are fitted inside the cabinet to nullify internal pressure and improve frequency response.
