RUBICON 8 C

The DALI RUBICON 8 C is our ultimate wireless Hi-Fi speaker, delivering effortless audiophile performance in a premium-quality cabinet without the wires. Part of the DALI EQUI wireless audio series.

WIRELESS SPEAKER SYSTEM

Best-in-class active loudspeaker

The RUBICON 8 C is part of the DALI EQUI ecosystem of wireless active speakers and amplifiers that lets you play music in the best possible quality without the need for complicated electronics or speaker cables. The RUBICON 8 C combines the acclaimed drivers and cabinet construction of our passive RUBICON series with the amplifier technology from the CALLISTO series to deliver the ultimate wireless musical experience and enough bass to fill larger rooms.

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.
