Evolution Through KORE Technology
The RUBIKORE Series incorporates numerous innovations inspired by cutting-edge DALI KORE technologies. At the heart of these advancements is the Clarity Cone™ Technology Bass/Midrange Driver Diaphragms, ensuring an unparalleled natural midrange clarity devoid of any artificial coloration. Complemented by the DALI SMC motor systems, these drivers achieve minimal distortion and optimal performance efficiency. The RUBIKORE 8 and 6 loudspeakers further enhance audio purity thanks to SMC KORE™ inductors within their crossover circuits to significantly reduce signal loss. In addition, the entire range also featuring high-performance Mundorf™ capacitors.
RUBIKORE 2,6, and 8 loudspeaker enclosures are further equipped with Continuous Flare Reflex Ports to maximize efficiency while reducing turbulence and noise. Drawing inspiration from the EVO-K Hybrid Tweeter of the DALI KORE, the entire RUBIKORE Series also introduces a new Low-Loss Dome Tweeter — which omits ferrofluid in the magnet gap — to achieve the highest resolution in high-frequency sound.
Exceptional Acoustic Performance
The RUBIKORE Series sets new standards for wide bandwidth loudspeakers, boasting an array of DALI KORE-inspired technologies, including paper and wood fibre Clarity Cone™ Technology SMC Bass/Midrange Drivers to deliver a truly accomplished musical performance. The synergy between the DALI Hybrid Tweeter and the bass/midrange drivers brings extraordinary detail and clarity to high frequencies, with the RUBIKORE Series excelling at relaxed, large scale, wide dispersion, low loss, and amplifier optimized sound quality.
Whether integrated into high-end stereo music systems or multichannel home theatre setups, the RUBIKORE Series from DALI sets a new benchmark for immersive audio experience.
Danish Design Hand-crafted by DALI
The RUBIKORE Series loudspeakers are a testament to the storied Danish tradition of joinery and cabinet-making craftsmanship. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, the expertly crafted and extensively braced cabinets offer a supremely rigid and inert foundation for the drivers, encapsulating elegance and functionality in one.
Each RUBIKORE Series loudspeaker is meticulously hand-crafted and assembled by DALI in Denmark, showcasing the company’s decades-long expertise at in-house design and manufacturing. Whilst proudly Danish in its assembly, the RUBIKORE series also benefits from the rich pool of local component suppliers and craftsmanship, reinforcing its deep Danish heritage. The RUBIKORE Series is Danish design to the core.
Immersive Hi-Fi and Home Theatre
The RUBIKORE Series is designed to meet the demands of high-performance audio in the modern home. Brilliantly adept at delivering in both traditional stereo and home theatre set-ups, the RUBIKORE Series is a truly versatile solution.
With its broad bandwidth and clarity combined with powerful dynamic sound reproduction, the RUBIKORE range is equipped to cover all your entertainment needs, setting a new benchmark for immersive audio experiences.
RUBIKORE 8 & RUBIKORE 6 Floorstanding Loudspeakers:
The new RUBIKORE 8 and RUBIKORE 6 Floorstanding Loudspeakers employ multiple DALI KORE inspired technologies. RUBIKORE 8 combines three new 6½ inch double magnet paper and wood fibre Clarity Cone™ Technology SMC bass/midrange drivers; RUBIKORE 6 combines two. These Clarity Cone Technology bass/midrange driver diaphragms help ensure natural midrange clarity, free from coloration, while DALI SMC motor systems minimize driver distortions and losses. Within their crossover circuits, both speakers employ SMC KORE™ inductors to significantly reduce signal loss. Fitted with Continuous Flare reflex ports that maximize efficiency while simultaneously minimizing turbulence and noise, the RUBIKORE 8 and RUBIKORE 6 adopt a new Low-Loss dome tweeter — inspired by the EVO-K Hybrid Tweeter used in the DALI KORE — without ferrofluid in the magnet gap, for ultimate resolution in the high frequencies.
The RUBIKORE 8 excels at relaxed, large scale, wide dispersion, low loss, and amplifier optimized sound quality. RUBIKORE 6 is designed for ambitious high-end stereo and home theatre systems in medium to larger sized rooms where its compact floor-stand design provides great installation versatility.
RUBIKORE 2 Bookshelf Loudspeakers:
The RUBIKORE 2 brings DALI KORE inspired technology and performance to a compact stand, shelf, or furniture mount loudspeaker. Designed to provide high-end sound quality in smaller rooms, the RUBIKORE 2 combines a new 6½ inch double magnet paper and wood fibre Clarity Cone™ Technology SMC bass/midrange driver with a new DALI designed, ultra-low loss, lightweight dome tweeter. The result is exceptional, wide dispersion, low loss sound for even the smallest of listening spaces.
RUBIKORE ON-WALL:
The RUBIKORE ON-WALL brings DALI low-loss and wide dispersion principles to a low-profile, wall-mounted loudspeaker of immense versatility. Designed for both traditional stereo and home theatre roles, the RUBIKORE ON-WALL is equally adept at playing background sound as it is offering a deep-dive into your favorite music or movies. The RUBIKORE ON-WALL combines a 6½ inch paper and wood fibre Clarity Cone™ Technology SMC Bass/Midrange Driver with a rotatable DALI Hybrid Tweeter for remarkable low loss, amplifier optimized and wide dispersion sound quality, no matter if it’s used in stereo, center or surround channel applications.
Featuring a rotatable DALI Hybrid Tweeter module that combines a 29 mm low-loss soft dome tweeter and a 17 x 45 mm planar tweeter working together to create remarkable renditions of high-frequency detail. The voice-coil and diaphragm of the RUBIKORE dome tweeter is extremely light and agile, which helps it deliver exceptional clarity, even at lower frequencies, whilst the planar tweeter is the master of fine detail and wide dispersion in upper frequencies. The rotatable tweeter baffle allows use in stereo, center or surround channel applications.
RUBIKORE CINEMA LCR Home Cinema loudspeaker:
The RUBIKORE CINEMA is the ultimate DALI home cinema loudspeaker. A home theatre LCR solution delivering high performance loudspeaker solutions to the left, center and right channel roles in home theatre systems. Featuring a compact shelf or stand-mount enclosure — with rotatable DALI Hybrid tweeter — the RUBIKORE CINEMA can be installed in either landscape or portrait orientation. This makes it possible to use the exact same speaker for front and center applications for the ultimate Home Cinema experience.
In addition to its rotatable Hybrid Dome and Planar Tweeter, the RUBIKORE CINEMA employs a Clarity Cone™ Technology Bass/Midrange Driver Diaphragm which helps ensure natural midrange clarity, free from coloration, whilst its double DALI SMC Motor Systems minimize driver distortions and losses. As with the rest of the RUBIKORE Series, RUBIKORE CINEMA adopts audiophile-grade Mundorf™ capacitors to reduce losses still further.
