Cover DALI RUBICON Bringing you closer to the real thing
DALI RUBICON SERIES Innovation in audio Setting a new benchmark in affordable audiophile-quality sound reproduction, the new DALI RUBICON range of loudspeakers is the perfect union of striking design and sound engineering expertise – two strands that run deep in both DALI’s and Denmark’s DNA. The result is a musical experience beyond expectation, reproduction as close to the artist’s original intention as possible, and an overall aural experience that will elate.
“We believe that with BETTER SOUND you get A BETTER LIFE” Lars Worre CEO
DALI Heritage & Craftmanship Way back in 1898 a Danish inventor by the name of Valdemar Poulsen created the first ever device capable of recording sound magnetically. His ‘wire recorder’ paved the way for sound recording as we know it today and created the need for someone to hurry up and invent the loudspeaker. On to Christmas Eve of 1915, when another Danish inventor, Peter L. Jensen, demonstrated the world’s first loudspeaker to 75,000 people outside of San Francisco’s City Hall.
DALI RUBICON 2 Small but perfectly formed, the RUBICON 2 stand speaker may be the baby of the bunch, but delivering richly defined detail and big bass response, its sound belies its size. The perfect blend between compact size and cabinet inner-volume, we believe we have created the ideal working environment to eke the absolute best out of its combination of ultra-light soft dome tweeter, 6-5-inch wood-fibre low-loss driver and gold-plated terminals.
DALI RUBICON 5 Producing superior sound at a size that’s just right for the averagely proportioned living space, the RUBICON 5 is the first of the floorstanding speakers within the family. Combining that bigger internal capacity with our unique ribbon/soft dome hybrid tweeter module, the RUBICON 5 extends and widens higher frequencies to deliver a flawless soundstage of impeccably crisp detail and perfectly precise bass response to bring your music to life.
“RUBICON is the BEGINNING of the HIGH-END, but you get a lot MORE THAN JUST THE BEGINNING” Michael Pedersen Sales Manager
“HIGH-END is simply a LEVEL OF HI-FI where the record producer hears his own recording and REALISES THAT IT IS BETTER than he thought, and that’s what we want to do with the RUBICON” Lars Worre CEO
DALI RUBICON 6 Delivering a double punch and even more precisionhoned power, the RUBICON 6 comes packing dual 6.5-inch wood-fibre woofers, each sporting its own bass port, gold-plated bi-wiring terminals and our innovative ribbon/soft dome hybrid tweeter module, the two woofers work together to move much more air, delivering more powerful bass and pumping out audio excellence that fills the room.
DALI RUBICON 8 RUBICON and Wood Fibre Cones Utilising the unique soft magnetic compound (SMC) magnet motor system that DALI pioneered for the EPICON series, the RUBICON’s wood-fibre cones deliver a high-end audio quality that’s staggeringly clear, astoundingly open and affected by very little unwanted distortion or colouration. Upping the audio ante to the extreme, the RUBICON 8 is quite simply stunning in terms of the epic soundstage it presents.
“We created a PERFECT ENVIRONMENT for the DRIVERS” Mads Møller Design Manager
DALI RUBICON LCR We at DALI believe audio should always be about innovation, which is why we are particularly proud to present our RUBICON LCR – a wall mount speaker without peer. Delivering a wonderfully wide dynamic range and imaging so real you can almost reach out and touch the musicians playing, the RUBICON LCR is in a class of its own and weighs in at a price as astounding as the sound it emits.
RUBICON and Low Loss The wood fibre cone terminates in a soft low-loss rubber surround that has been designed from the ground up and is bespoke for the RUBICON driver. The surround ensures that the cone moves easily and without loss of energy. Combined with a lightweight but powerful voice coil, the RUBICON woofer is able to render the subtlest details even at low volume. The DALI RUBICON VOKAL is the ultimate centre speaker crafted with the perfect balance between performance and size.
The Technology At DALI we like to lead the way when it comes to invention in audio, which is why every new loudspeaker we produce is a fusion of both known and new technology. We build on that which has gone before, taking the best elements of the existing, making them even better and mixing them with entirely new ideas that we’ve pioneered; and the RUBICON range does not disappoint. Each model in the RUBICON range features woofers with the 6.
DALI RUBICON cabinet DALI RUBICON tweeter module DALI RUBICON SMC driver As easy on the eye as they are on the ear, the design of the RUBICON cabinet pays tribute to our sleek and sexy DALI MENTOR MENUET series. Constructed from solid MDF, the RUBICON cabinet provides a sturdy base for the drivers which are screwmounted directly into the 25mm thick front baffle.
