Q Acoustics have until now concentrated on designing and marketing loudspeakers that, most would agree, are
focussed on the budget end of the market. The objective with the Concept 500 was to concentrate on a perfect
balance between art and science to produce a loudspeaker that would be stylish, contemporary, fine-sounding and
accurate with less priority on price. Taking away the constraints of designing for lower price points certainly removed
some pressure, but the Concept 500 still needed to be considered good value for money within its, significantly
higher-end, target market.
The Concept 500 has been developed by Q Acoustics in collaboration with Fink Audio-Consulting and IDA with
whom they have built a long-term partnership since working together on their very first loudspeaker project over 10
years ago. In the new Concept 500, this truly talented team of people has produced a beautiful loudspeaker that can
be manufactured so consistently that the sound and performance of every unit will be identical.
