What does Q mean in speaker specifications?


I have never seen that listed before on any speaker. Can you explain what the Q means on these Falcon speakers? THX

 

 

Falcon Acoustics is pleased to announce the re-introduction of the Falcon Acoustics Q7 “Complete@Home” Loudspeaker system. Designed by Malcolm Jones and sold by Falcon for many years, the updated Q7 features the same Falcon B110 and T27 drive units as used in the Falcon LS3/5a in a specially extended LS3/5a-type cabinet to produce an optimum Q=0.7 system with extra bass compared to the LSA3/5a (+2dB @ 50 Hz). Factory built options supplied built by Falcon, fully checked and tested are available.

QTC is a function of the woofer completed in the box and really designed for a sealed box. A driver in itself has a QMS/QES = QTS and yes, you would be able to measure these on a horn driver.  

Variable analog Q, level and 11 bands of EQ below 120 hz in every Vandersteen Quattro and up. Also on the sub 3 for $3K.  There are many ways….

The venerable B-110 / T-27 takes me back to 1980…. how fun ;-) OP enjoy your new speakers and the music !
