PRODUCT DETAILS

The floor standing flagship of the RUBICON series, the RUBICON 8, will provide you with a mind blowing large soundstage and an impressive deep, physical bass. Inherited from the EPICON series, the RUBICON series utilizes the same SMC technology and soft dome diaphragm. The RUBICON 8 has no less than three drivers that all kick in at different frequencies. This setup ads up to what in effect is a 2½+½+½-way construction, and generates an amazing range and impressive sound pressure. The RUBICON 8 is for those seeking the extraordinary in size and sound.

Upping the audio ante to the extreme, the RUBICON 8 is quite simply stunning in terms of the epic soundstage it presents. The trio of woofers work by kicking in at different frequencies, making the RUBICON 8 loudspeaker, the pinnacle of your entry into the world of high-end audio at a mid-range price.

Delivering a totally transparent image with a richness of detail that recreates the passion of a live performance, the wider sound dispersion afforded by our hybrid tweeter helps the RUBICON 8 fill even the most sizeable of spaces with the purest audio your ears will ever witness.

Combine the RUBICON 8 with a pair of RUBICON 2 or RUBICON LCR, a RUBICON VOKAL and a SUB M-10 D to get an ideal surround experience. 

DALI RUBICON 2

The RUBICON 2 stand speaker is the perfect blend between compact size and large sound performance. With the solid MDF cabinet, the RUBICON 2 has a perfect working environment for its ultra-light 29 mm soft dome tweeter, 6.5 inch wood fibre low-loss driver, and gold-plated terminals. It is rich on detail with an impressive soundstage and has surprisingly large bass reproduction with both precision and timing.

PRODUCT DETAILS

Following the design lines of the very popular MENTOR MENUET, the RUBICON series builds on a well known design language and takes it to new heights.

The RUBICON 2 stand loudspeaker is the perfect blend between compact size and large sound performance. With the solid MDF cabinet, the RUBICON 2 has a perfect working environment for its ultra-light 29 mm soft dome tweeter, 6.5 inch wood fibre low-loss driver, and gold-plated terminals. It is rich on detail with an impressive soundstage and has surprisingly large bass reproduction with both precision and timing.

Available in four finishes – HighGloss White, High-Gloss Black, Rosso and Walnut – the RUBICON 2 comes complete with rubber feet to hold it firmly in position and, to help keep it at its aesthetic as well as acoustic best.

The RUBICON 2 can be included in different variations of surround setups, e.g. a pair of RUBICON 8, RUBICON 6 or RUBICON 5, a RUBICON VOKAL and a SUB M-10 D.

DALI RUBICON VOKAL

The RUBICON VOKAL is the centre speaker to complete a RUBICON surround setup. With two 6½” woofers and a hybrid tweeter the RUBICON VOKAL has the size and punch to match any speaker in the RUBICON line-up. Whether you are watching a movie or listening to music, the RUBICON VOKAL will bring clarity and detail.

PRODUCT DETAILS

RUBICON VOKAL is the ultimate centre loudspeaker. Striking an elegant balance between size and performance, the RUBICON VOKAL is powerful enough to match the RUBICON 8, and still compact enough to fit in most living rooms. The two 6½” low-loss wood fibre woofers deliver a clear and well defined mid-range together with the hybrid tweeter module. It also uses the same soft dome diaphragm and many of the same SMC technologies as used in the EPICON series. The cabinet size helps the RUBICON VOKAL reproduce even the lowest bass frequencies from the gripping action on the screen or stunning musical performances.

And like the rest of the RUBICON range, it features gold-plated bi-wiring terminals.

The RUBICON VOKAL fits into every RUBICON surround system and can be combined with e.g. a pair of RUBICON 5, a pair of RUBICON 2 and a SUB or a pair of RUBICON 6, a pair of RUBICON LCR and a DALI SUB. In general, we recommend the SUB M-10 D for a RUBICON surround setup.
