PATENTED SMC
Reducing distortion with Soft Magnetic Compound. The RUBICON 8 C draws on the heritage from the SMC-based ‘Linear Drive System’, introduced with the EPICON series. With SMC, we achieve extremely low distortion and maximise detail, even at low volume. The drivers are manufactured in-house at our production facilities in central Denmark and feature the latest in magnet motor technology. The RUBICON 8 C sets new audio quality standards for Hi-Fi lovers around the world.
CLASS D AMPLIFICATION
Based on patented state-of-the-art technology. Designing a best-in-class active speaker system is the sum of many parts, including the all-important amplification. Using a digital crossover in place of a passive analogue filter, the RUBICON 8 C’s closed loop, self-oscillating Class D amplifiers drive the woofers and tweeters directly, resulting in a pairing that’s tuned to bring out even more dynamic detail in whatever you play.
6½” WOOFERS
Drawing on technologies from our EPICON series. The woofer cones have a light, rigid and randomly uneven structure, which lowers the complexity of the central part of the motor, ensures piston-like movement, significantly reduces the possibility of surface resonance and minimises distortion. Designed specifically for the RUBICON 8 C, the soft, low-loss rubber surround includes a cast-aluminium chassis designed for maximum airflow around the cone and magnet system.
DALI HYBRID TWEETER
The master of wide dispersion. The DALI hybrid tweeter module features a soft dome tweeter and a ribbon element that combine to create an amazing rendition of high-frequency details. The voice-coil used in the RUBICON 8 C soft dome is extremely light and agile, which helps it deliver a broader bandwidth. The ribbon tweeter is the master of wide dispersion and, in combination with the soft dome, reaches as low as 2.5 kHz, providing continuous wide dispersion as the soft dome becomes more directional at higher frequencies. This extreme bandwidth and ultra-wide dispersion is an important part of DALI’s sound philosophy.
CABINET DESIGN
Delivering richly defined detail and big bass response. The gracefully elegant RUBICON 8 C cabinet provides a rigid foundation for the low-loss drivers. On this inside, the woofers are enclosed in separate chambers to minimise interference, while bass reflex ports positioned directly behind each woofer minimises turbulence and delivers exceptional timing.
