Q Acoustics 5020 bookshelf speaker, with a 125 mm C3 midbass driver and a sealed 25 mm tweeter. It covers 53 Hz to 30 kHz (-6 dB) and comes in four finishes.
The 125 mm midbass driver uses a cone with a continuous curved profile, with no break between the centre and the edge. It combines the bass control of a straight cone with the midrange control of a flared one. Large magnets coupled to large voice coils raise power handling by 50 % compared with a similar driver with a 25.4 mm coil. The response extends from 53 Hz to 30 kHz (-6 dB).
The 25 mm tweeter is hermetically sealed and mechanically isolated from the baffle. Neither the internal pressure of the cabinet nor the neighbouring midbass driver makes it vibrate. Its chamber is vented to lower distortion. The crossover hands it the signal from 2.5 kHz.
P2P (Point to Point) braces stiffen the areas of the cabinet that need it. They limit vibrations in the bass and tighten the stereo image. The baffle is laminated with a layer of butyl rubber, covered by a black acrylic trim. The internal volume reaches 6.8 L per speaker.
This speaker comes in Satin Black, Satin White, Holm Oak and Santos Rosewood, that is one light and one dark wood finish. The black baffle with acrylic trim is the same across all finishes. Each speaker measures 284 x 180 x 293 mm and weighs 7.0 kg, and connects to an amplifier of 25 to 100 W.
