The Q Acoustics Concept 90 is a premium center channel speaker that plays a crucial role in a 5.1 home cinema setup by anchoring dialogue and integrating seamlessly with the soundstage. It features a three-way design with two 125mm mid/bass drivers flanking a 25mm tweeter, delivering ultra-clear dialogue and captivating effects. The speaker incorporates advanced anti-resonance technologies including a Gelcore™ cabinet construction that minimizes high-frequency cabinet noise by using a non-setting gel layer between cabinet panels. It also has an isolation suspension base with two plates separated by suspension spheres to eradicate unwanted vibrations, crucial for placement on TV cabinets. The tweeter is hermetically sealed and mechanically isolated to protect from internal resonances. The crossover is mounted on the isolation base to minimize microphonic pickup and electromagnetic interference. The Concept 90 supports a frequency response of 67 Hz to 30 kHz (-6dB), nominal impedance of 6 Ω, sensitivity of 90 dB, and recommended amplifier power of 25-150 W. Dimensions are 184 x 550 x 259 mm (W x H x D) and weight is 12.3 kg. It is available in black, white, or silver finishes to match other Concept series speakers.
