PRODUCT DETAILS
The RUBICON 6 BLACK EDITION has been tweaked for even better performance. A new crossover design has been added along with Mundorf capacitors and internal DALI silver cable wiring in order to build on the already stellar performance that defines the RUBICON series.
The RUBICON 6 BE features two 6½ inch woofers - each using its own bass port - gold-plated bi-wiring terminals and our innovative ribbon/soft dome hybrid tweeter module, which also was used in the EPICON series.
The two woofers work together to move the air, delivering more powerful bass and pumping out audio excellence that fills the entire room. The driver construction of the RUBICON 6 BE makes it even more powerful than its smaller sibling with an enhanced and controlled performance.
The RUBICON 6 BE can be matched with the RUBICON 2 or RUBICON LCR, the RUBICON VOKAL and the SUB M-10 D to create a surround setup.
SMC
With the introduction of the SMC based "Linear Drive System", we've broken new ground in the loudspeaker industry. Utilizing the technologies behind the SMC in the RUBICON 6 BE, we aim to create an extremely low distortion and maximize the level of details, even at low volume. With the drivers manufactured in-house at our Danish factory, and featuring the latest in magnet motor technology, the RUBICON series sets new standards for audio quality for Hi-Fi lovers around the world.
The RUBICON 6 BE draws upon the heritage from the SMC based ‘Linear Drive System, which was introduced with the EPICON series. With the use of the technology from the SMC drivers, we have taken a step closer to remove a very large part of the unwanted distortion. The bass drivers are optimized for long excursion, and the midrange driver for a large useful frequency range insuring that the roll-off is handled in the crossover and not in the driver. All this ensures that the benefit from SMC can be enjoyed by even more Hi-Fi lovers around the world.
HYBRID TWEETER
The RUBICON 6 BE has inherited the hybrid tweeter from the RUBICON 6. The speaker 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 6 BE 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.
WOOFER
The distinctive black-coloured wood fiber cones used in the RUBICON 6 BE draw 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 6 BE.
The soft low-loss rubber surround is designed and bespoke specifically for the RUBICON series, and all of the components are situated in an aluminum chassis designed for maximum airflow around the cone and magnet system.
CABINET
The graceful and dark appearance of the RUBICON 6 BE works as the base for the black-colored low-loss drivers. Adding a golden DALI logo and golden serial number plate adds a decadent and elegant expression to the speaker.
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.
RUBICON 6 BLACK EDITION is available in only one finish, Satin Black, but offers both spike set and rubber feet options, along with a polishing cloth to ensure that the finish always looks pristine.
