RUBICON 2 C

The DALI RUBICON 2 C is an active stand-mounted speaker with a 6 Ω" low-loss woofer and a 29 mm ultra-light soft dome tweeter. With its impressive soundstage and large bass reproduction, it's perfect for stereo or surround setups.

Zero-Loss Wireless

The proprietary wireless connection between RUBICON C and the hub is extremely stable and requires no active Wi-Fi signal.

Patented SMC

With an SMC magnet pole-piece surrounded by a slitted copper cap, the effect of the SMC is focused and maximised to reduce distortion.

Soft Dome Tweeter

With clear heritage from our high-end series, the lightweight dome tweeter offers best-in-class resolution.

Wood Fibre Cones

The wood fibre cone give a light, rigid and uneven surface for even, piston-like motion and greatly reduced surface resonance.

Finish: Walnut (Veneer)

WIRELESS SPEAKER SYSTEM

Beautiful harmony in the digital world

The RUBICON 2 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 2 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. The RUBICON 2 C is available in three finishes – High-Gloss White, High-Gloss Black and Walnut.

PATENTED SMC

Reducing distortion with SMC

The RUBICON 2 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 2 C sets new audio quality standards for Hi-Fi lovers around the world.

CLASS D AMPLIFICATION

Based on 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 2 C's two closed loop, self-oscillating Class D amplifiers drive the woofer and tweeters directly, resulting in a pairing that's tuned to bring out even more dynamic detail in whatever you play.

6½" WOOFER

Drawing on technology from EPICON series

The woofer cone has 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 2 C, the soft, low-loss rubber surround includes a cast-aluminium chassis designed for maximum airflow around the cone and magnet system.

OVERSIZED TWEETER

A 29 mm driver for a broader bandwidth

The ultra-lightweight 29 mm soft dome tweeter used in the RUBICON 2 C reaches higher into the very high frequencies – higher, in fact, than the soft dome used in our signature hybrid tweeter module. And to achieve a broader bandwidth, the tweeter includes a light, agile voice-coil driven by a powerful ferrite magnet.

COMPACT CABINET

Richly defined detail and big bass

Small but perfectly formed, the RUBICON 2 C stand-mount speaker may be the baby of the bunch, but the richly defined detail and big bass response belies its size. A perfect blend of compact size and internal volume, we believe we've created the ideal working environment to get the absolute best out of the drivers. And don't let its small footprint fool you, the RUBICON 2 C is a performance powerhouse.

HI-FI CHOICE (PL)

The RUBICON 2 Cs keep things interesting dynamically, giving listeners no opportunity to call out any lifelessness, and there's the precision and organisation to keep things communicative when the composition thickens. Their levels of transparency and way with rhythms are among the most impressive we've heard in a system of this kind.

Listening to more bare tracks proved to us that tonal balance was essential with the RUBICON 2 C. The interpretation of Dans Ma Rue, by Zaz, or listening to Fever by Elvis Presley confirmed this excellent respect for timbres which makes RUBICON 2 C speakers respectful of atmospheres and their sound signature.

The DALI RUBICON 2 C is agile, responding quickly to changing rhythms, while offering high-level sound control, regardless of the musical genre. Both the airy, light, radiant sound of the harpsichord, as well as the powerful jumps of dynamics in the works of Mike Oldfield, Vangelis, and Tangerine Dream were reproduced in the same way.
