Q Acoustics 5040 Floorstanding Speakers

Since its inception in 2006, Q Acoustics has earned a reputation for its innovative speaker designs, winning countless awards along the way. The company's latest 5000 Series continues the trend, taking a high-tech approach to speaker design with the aim of making true audiophile sound more affordable. This 5040 floorstanding model more than hits the brief, producing a detailed, dynamic performance that really immerses you in the music.

Advanced driver design

Each of the 5040's 5-inch C3 Continuous Curved Cone™ woofers has a single, smooth profile from its outer surround to its centre. This creates excellent sound dispersion with reduced harmonic distortion and a nicely controlled frequency response that allows for smooth integration with the tweeter. It also helps to keep bass dynamics tighter, giving you more flexibility if you need to place your speakers close to a wall. The high frequency drive unit is hermetically sealed and mechanically isolated (floating) from the front baffle to mitigate internal cabinet pressure and woofer resonances.

Sophisticated and contemporary design

This 5040’s rear-ported, solid MDF enclosure features Point to Point™ (P2P) internal bracing based on state-of-the-art, microscopic-level analysis. It allows the cabinet to dampen and dissipate unwanted acoustic energy, giving the drivers a rigid, non-resonant environment in which to operate. It also uses internal HPE™ (Helmholtz Pressure Equalizer) tube technology that reduces pressure inside the cabinet to help keep sound clear and uncoloured.

Finally the front baffles are laminated with a layer of butyl rubber and black acrylic trim, not only to provide a damping layer to suppress vibration occurring in the baffle, but also to offer an eye-catching contrast to the cosmetically clean front presentation uninterrupted by any fixings.

Q Acoustics 5040’s are available in a black, white, oak or rosewood finish
