A new Concept in sound

The Concept 20 loudspeaker also made its fi rst public appearance at The Bristol Show as Q Acoustics revealed what it is claims represents “An astonishing  sonic leap forward”. As Alex Munro, channel director of Armour Home with special responsibility for Q Acoustics, explained: “Applying scientific methodology and state-of-theart technologies, such as laser spectrometry and chemical  engineering [our designers] have designed and advanced an  ultra-low resonance speaker cabinet.

                               In short, a cabinet that  allows loudspeaker drive units to simply play the music  unconstrained by cabinet interference.” The result is a speaker incorporating Gelcore Construction to, in effect, create a cabinet within a cabinet with a special resonance-cancelling compound adhering between the inner and outer shells. The cabinet is rigid and exhibits extremely low resonance. Q Acoustics claims that when compared with a good conventional cabinet, midband distortion is reduced while treble and bass frequency improvements are in excess of 10dB. 

                             The two-way reflex stand mount has a 64Hz-22kHz claimed frequency response, with a 125mm bass accompanying its 25mm treble unit. Sensitivity is quoted as 88dB and there’s recommended power of 25-75W. The speakers come in a choice of finishes and a matching Gelcore Construction fl oor stand is also available for £199 a pair.
