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.
Rubicon Vokal is the ultimate centre speaker. 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. 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.
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.
