Introduction

The Q Acoustics Concept Series is a range of loudspeakers designed to meet the 

highest expectations of dedicated 2-channel audiophiles and discerning movie 

enthusiasts. 

The range comprises:

Concept 20: 

Bookshelf speaker with a 125mm bass driver.

Concept 40:

 Floorstander with two 125mm bass drivers.

Before making any connections to your loudspeakers make sure that all active 

units in your system are switched off at the mains.

When switching on your sound system or changing input sources, set the main 

volume control at a low level. Turn up the level gradually.

NEVER

 play your sound system at full volume. The position of the volume control 

is deceptive and does not indicate the power level of the system. Using very high 

volume settings may damage your hearing.

DO NOT

 connect your loudspeaker terminals to the mains supply.

Q Acoustics Concept Series

DO NOT 

expose your loudspeakers to excessive cold, heat, humidity or sunlight.

If you play your loudspeakers without their grilles on, be careful to protect the 

drive units from damage.

DO NOT

 use makeshift stands. Fit the Q-Acoustics dedicated stand according 

to the instructions and using any fixings provided. Your dealer will advise you.

DO NOT 

dismantle the loudspeaker. You will invalidate the warranty.

Unpacking your loudspeakers

Unpack the speakers fully. Lift the speakers from the cartons by holding the 

cabinets. Do 

not 

use the protective bags to lift them. The Concept 40s are heavy 

- get assistance to lift them if necessary.

When manoeuvring loudspeakers, do not drag them across the floor as this may 

cause damage - lift them before moving them.

In the carton you will find: 

The loudspeaker/s and this product manual.

Check the product carefully. If any items are damaged or missing, report this to 

your dealer as soon as possible.

Retain the packaging for future transport. If you dispose of the packaging, please 

do so following all recycling regulations in your area.
