10 Years of COMSOL at CE Electro-Acoustics
This year marks ten years of integrating COMSOL Multiphysics into CE Electro-Acoustics’ design and analysis workflows. Over the past decade, the platform has been central to modelling complex, coupled acoustic, electro-mechanical, structural and thermal phenomena - driving precision, innovation and efficiency across advanced project development and product design.
If you need advanced COMSOL modelling to solve problems, de-risk design and accelerate development, get in touch.
Q Acoustics - 5050
5050 - "Where sheer scale, widescreen sound-staging and complete audio-fidelity are concerned, the 5050 outperforms its nominal competition with ease. If you have a bigger space to fill with the most beautifully and accurately reproduced sound." [Q Acoustics]
Q Acoustics - 5040
5040 - "A sonic step-up from the Concept 30, this elegant floorstander takes everything great about its standmount brother but delivers more powerful audio, a deeper soundstage and increased bass extension through its leading-edge, low resonance cabinet." [Q Acoustics]
CML Music - Etude 5 Loudspeaker
Etude 5 - "The Etude 5 provides the seamless musical coherence of a full range ribbon, planar magnetic or electrostatic design, but with superior bass performance and a much smaller frontal profile. The speaker is the product of thirteen years development and is an elegant implementation of a linear array of 85 mm balanced mode radiator (BMR) drive units that are driven full range via an all-pass baffle step equalization filter. The BMR array shares the same transmission line as two force cancelled 220 mm bass units, that fill in the bass below ca. 100 Hz – This line sharing approach has been given the name "Common Time Base Transmission Line" and enables the agile bass response praised by Chris Baillie in his HiFi Pig review. CE Electro- Acoustics validated this concept via a simulation approach – modulation of the BMR units by the bass units was found to be insignificant. The treble is bolstered by a ring radiator tweeter from 6 kHz. Great attention has been paid to the BMR drive unit mounting with the chassis being fully supported in an aluminium alloy and stainless-steel cage, interleaved with various thin lossy elements."

Concept 50 - "A sonic step-up from the Concept 30, this elegant floorstander takes everything great about its standmount brother but delivers more powerful audio, a deeper soundstage and increased bass extension through its leading-edge, low resonance cabinet." [Q Acoustics]
Q Acoustics - Concept 30
Concept 30 - "Taking acoustic technology and design cues from the flagship Concept 300, while also introducing new audio innovations, the Concept 30 standmount delivers truly high-end home audio performance." [Q Acoustics]
Q Acoustics - M20
"M20 - Designed to deliver stunning wireless high-resolution stereo sound, the flexible M20 HD audio system is the most powerful and immersive way to enjoy music, movies and gaming sound anywhere in the home." [Q Acoustics]
Q Acoustics - Q Active 400
"Q Active 400 - The powerful Q Active 400 high resolution system represents the ultimate combination of convenience, style and audiophile-quality sound for exceptional value for money." [Q Acoustics]
Q Acoustics - Q Active 200
"Q Active 200 - An entire high-resolution wireless audio system, delivering uncompromised hi-fi sound that fits conveniently and seamlessly into your lifestyle. Q Active excels in three key areas:
Versatile. Sound. Design.
And, of course, Q Active represents the sort of prodigious value for money every listener expects from Q Acoustics." [Q Acoustics]
O.S Acoustics - DBS8
"The O.S Acoustics DBS8 is an ultra-high-definition reference studio monitor, with minimal frequency or time-domain distortions. Meticulously designed to obtain the best possible performance from advanced materials and high-end components for precision monitoring. Using a sealed cabinet and phase-corrected filters, the time-domain performance of the DBS8 is exemplary. The MTM configuration keeps thermal distortion to a minimum, with the heat shared between two 6.5" SEAS drivers, operating as a piston from the bass right through to the mid-range, with controlled dispersion of the high frequencies." [Tom Osborne MD at O.S Acoustics]
Soundkaos - VOX 3
"A compact 4 driver 3-way monitor with exceptional room filling presence and low end reach of 35Hz, this compact monitor has people talking.
VOX 3f with 10 cm ferrite full range | two back to back force canceling 13 cm custom woofers | ambient RAAL ribbon super tweeter top mounted | oiled/waxed finish | bandwidth 35 Hz - 35kHz | 90 dB efficient
VOX 3a with 11 cm custom bronze basket Alnico motor paper cone full range | two back to back force canceling 13 cm custom woofers | ambient RAAL ribbon super tweeter top mounted | oiled/waxed or clear lacquer high gloss finish | bandwidth 35 Hz - 35 kHz | 92 dB efficient" [Martin Gateley MD at Soundkaos] www.soundkaos.audio
Q Acoustics - 3030i
"The Q Acoustics 3030i is the latest bookshelf or stand-mount addition to our award-winning 3000i loudspeaker range. Designed to deliver big, bassy, hard-hitting yet beautifully poised sound from a compact, discreet and good-looking cabinet, it's packed with Q Acoustics' latest technological advances." [Q Acoustics]

Q Acoustics - QB12
"The QB12 is the first Q Acoustics subwoofer to feature a 12in driver. The big long-throw driver is powered by an ultra low-distortion 220-watt Class D amplifier for tight, powerful bass response, and features a 50mm voice coil for minimal thermal compression. Equally at home with Q Acoustics’ Concept and 3000i range of stereo and centre speakers, QB12 is designed to be equally adept at reproducing big Hollywood action moments as it is the deep, subtle textures of bass instruments."

Q Acoustics - Concept 300
"A combination of rigorous engineering, uncompromised industrial design and aspirational aesthetics makes Concept 300 the most fully realised loudspeaker Q Acoustics has yet delivered. In combination with the equally meticulous Tensegrity stand, Concept 300 represents a step-change in loudspeaker design and a redefinition of what is possible at its price.
Tensegrity Stand & Isolation Base System - With a standmounting speaker design like this, of course, the speaker’s relationship with its stand is of fundamental importance. And it’s the design of the new Tensegrity stand, and the new isolation base suspension system that joins Concept 300 to it, that allows Q Acoustics to redefine the level of performance that’s possible from a smaller loudspeaker. Tensegrity is a tripod - by definition, an extremely stable structure. It’s built It’s built from precision machined stainless steel rods (which are the load-bearing element) and thin stainless steel cables (which maintain the position of the load-bearing rods). The result is an exceptionally rigid and self-supporting structure with a remarkably low surface area and - let’s not pretend otherwise - beautifully elegant appearance. It’s not so much a speaker stand, it’s more an entirely new loudspeaker support concept". [Q Acoustics]

Node Audio - HYLIXA
"HYLIXA presents a new type of speaker – a 'helical bass' design. It's compact, low diffraction cabinet features a wide-bandwidth BMR® for extraordinary vocal intelligibility. Driven by a rearwards firing internal woofer, a 'Helical Transmission Line' (HTL) delivers authoritative bass extension, exiting concentrically around the front baffle to maintain an effective single point source.
Uniquely, these innovations are only possible by exploiting 'laser sintering' manufacturing, new to the audio industry. The entire cabinet is systematically fused using a computer controlled laser, from particles of Glass and Nylon, resulting in a unified cabinet of remarkable integrity".
