“The audiophile that wants a big sound from a small cabinet speaker, able to deliver real heft in the bass, a colourless midband and a sweet crisp treble performance.”

The DALI Rubicon range sets a new benchmark for affordable audiophile sound quality reproduction. The perfect blend of beautiful design and sound engineering expertise. True music lovers want their music to come alive, DALI have experimented with new and old technologies to product a range of speaker that can transport listeners back to the venue or studio at the moment their music of choice were originally recorded.

Rubicon 5 is the first of the floor standing speakers in this range. It expands the sonic performance of the Rubicon 2 by adding a hybrid tweeter and a larger cabinet offering more of everything. Extending and widening the high frequencies for improved detail, and adding more well timed deep bass for a more demanding presence. The Rubicon 5 is perfect for stereo listening or as the front speakers in a medium sized surround set up.

The gracefully elegant exterior of the Rubicon works as the base for the low loss drivers. In every cabinet, the mid-range and bass drivers are separated into their own chambers. Turbulence is minimized through a bass reflex port, which is placed directly behind every woofer, and the timing between the woofer and the bass port is thereby also optimized.

Low Loss Technology

The cone used in the Rubicon series draws upon the heritage from the Epicon technologies, and has a light, rigid and randomly uneven structure. This lower the complexity of the central part of the motor, ensures even piston like movements, reduces the possibility of surface resonance greatly and creates an extremely low distortion within the Rubicon series. The soft low-loss rubber surround is designed and bespoke specifically for the Rubicon series, and all of the components are situated in an aluminium chassis designed for maximum airflow around the cone and magnet system.

SMC Magnet

All variants in the Rubicon series feature woofers with the 6.5-inch wood-fibre cones and the DALI SMC (soft magnetic compound) magnet motor system which reduces distortion as never heard before. The secret is the individually coated magnet granules that make it possible to mould a a strong magnet that’s not electrically conductive. The unique SMC magnet system and a reworked version of DALI’s hybrid tweeter module work together, along with individual bass ports for each woofer, to produce audio exactly as the recording artist originally imagined it.

Tweeters

The Rubicon series makes use of both the soft dome tweeter working alone, and the hybrid tweeter configuration an amazing rendering of the high frequencies. The voice coil used in the Rubicon series is designed to be very light and agile in order to achieve a broader bandwidth. This lighter voice coil is placed inside a powerful ferrite magnet that keeps a tight control of its movements. The ribbon tweeter is the master of wide dispersion and combining it with the soft dome, the tweeter module starts working as low as 2.5 KHz. This extreme bandwidth combined with the ultra wide dispersion is an important part of the DALI sound philosophy.
