Q Acoustics Concept 30 Bookshelf Speakers Q Acoustics

Concept 30 Standmount Speakers
Taking acoustic technology and design cues from the flagship Concept 300, while also introducing new audio innovations, the Concept 30 standmount delivers truly high-end home audio performance.

Introducing the Concept loudspeaker series
The Concept Series, comprising of the Concept 30 bookshelf, Concept 50 floorstander, the flagship Concept 300 standmount, the top-of-the range Concept 500 floorstanding speaker and the Concept 90 centre channel for home cinema, is a culmination of all the technological advancements and innovations the company has achieved over the past 15 years and goes beyond anything that Q Acoustics has accomplished before. We confidently believe these beautifully styled speakers provide a level of sonic performance previously thought impossible at these price points.

No artificial colouring
Every element of acoustic innovation featured in the Concept 30 is geared towards designing the quietest cabinet possible. Unaffected by internal and external resonances, these speakers deliver focused stereo imaging, accurate audio and an extended holographic soundstage to emulate a live performance in the home. All our anti-resonance innovations allow the state-of-the-art complement of drivers free to get on with the job of delivering the most realistic, most involving sound ever heard at this price-point.

Controlled power
Designed as an integral part of the mechanical structure of the cabinet, both the 5-inch mid/bass and 0.9-inch tweeter drivers are new, ground-up designs specifically for the Concept 30, 50 and 90 loudspeakers. The drive units are fixed to a remarkably stiff 3mm aluminium baffle plate before it is 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 means lower distortion and a lower crossover point for seamless integration through the crossover region. 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 25.4 mm voice coil. Lastly, the crossover itself is mounted to the isolation base, keeping it free of sound-effecting vibrations and away from the electro-magnetic influence of the drivers themselves.

Elegant design
Understated but effortlessly stylish, the Concept family fits perfectly into your listening environment. The exceptional engineering inside the cabinet is matched by the stunning, premium finish on the outside, that honours the range’s flagship credentials. In a world of busy designs, the Concept’s form is refreshingly minimalist, with the series available in three exquisite lacquers, white, black and silver, while the flagship 300 and 500 arrive in dual gloss and Italian wood veneer finishes.

Gelcore™ technology
Introduced in the original Concept speaker, the Gelcore™ cabinet construction is designed to minimise high-frequency noise. A unique design comprised of a non-setting gel sandwiched between two individual layers, this specially developed adhesive 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 30 have a suspension system in the form of a sprung baseplate. Two plates are separated by suspension ‘spheres’ that effectively isolates the cabinet from interference from external vibrations, providing tighter stereo imaging, while also bringing greater depth.

P2P™ (Point to Point™) technology
To keep the cabinet as rigid as possible, P2P™ (Point to Point™) internal bracing is employed. First introduced in the Concept 500, reinforcement is fitted to interior areas of the cabinet susceptible to low-end frequency reverberations.
