”Expressive dynamics, excellent clarity and a premium look make Q Acoustics' 5040 floorstanders a fantastic set of speakers.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ 2024 award-winner.
Floorstanders that delivers a big sound from slim cabinets Ideal for medium-sized to larger rooms, the Q Acoustics 5040s produce an expansive sound. A dedicated woofer gives deeper bass, while the Continuous Curved Cone delivers its usual magic in the midrange. Despite its powerful appeal, however, the 5040’s elegant lines and slim profile means that it won’t dominate your room. With a choice of four finishes, it’s also easy to get the perfect look for your décor.
The purest top-end response Based on the design from Q Acoustics’ top-end Concept models, the hermetically sealed and mechanically isolated tweeter units deliver a super-smooth top-end response. Mechanical decoupling effectively isolates the tweeter from vibrations, letting you hear every detail in the recording, no matter how subtle.
Continuous Curved Cone for seamless sound Q Acoustics’ advanced C3 (Continuous Curved Cone) woofer unit transforms the sound of this impressive speaker. By creating the perfect cone profile and using a powerful magnet, you get low distortion, seamless sound. The woofer design also enhances the music’s dynamics, with a bass response that’s not just deep but also tightly damped for a punchy response.
Dedicated woofer for powerful bass The 5040 floorstanding model introduces a second bass woofer for even an even deeper, more powerful bottom end response. Ideal for dance, orchestral and stadium rock music, these speakers capture the full scale of the music in a way that many smaller speakers miss.
Advanced cabinet design for the purest sound For the purest, most natural sound, Q Acoustics have applied science and innovative engineering. Featuring HPE (Helmholtz Pressure Equalizer) technology, distortion is reduced to a minimum. Larger speaker cabinets tend to build up pressure in specific areas, causing resonance and cabinet distortion. By equalising the pressure around the cabinet, the pressure is reduced, giving a less distorted sound.
Improved cabinet bracing Working alongside HPE is P2P bracing. P2P (Point-to-Point) bracing is deployed to enhance rigidity and further reduce cabinet distortion. Reducing cabinet distortion lets the drive units operate at their optimum, giving a cleaner, more focused sound.
Choice of premium finishes Complementing the 5040’s smooth good looks, a range of different cabinet finishes creates the perfect look for your room. Choose from contemporary Satin Black or Satin White finishes or go for the more traditional Santos Rosewood or Holme Oak real wood veneers.
Hear every note, from the highest to the lowest, in glorious clarity, with the Q Acoustics 5040.
