Product Overview & Specifications
The DALI RUBIKORE 8 is the flagship floorstanding loudspeaker in DALI's RUBIKORE range, engineered to generate wide dynamic bandwidth, effortless acoustic scale, and low-distortion playback in large listening environments. Drawing heavily on design innovations developed for DALI's reference KORE loudspeaker, the RUBIKORE 8 incorporates a trio of 6½-inch wood fibre woofers functioning across a 2½ + ½ + ½-way crossover architecture alongside DALI's signature Hybrid Tweeter module.
Hand-crafted and tested in Denmark, the RUBIKORE 8 utilizes Clarity Cone woofers driven by Soft Magnetic Compound (SMC) magnet systems to suppress hysteresis distortion, complemented by SMC-KORE inductors in the crossover network. High-frequency duty is shared between a 29mm ferrofluid-free soft fabric dome tweeter and a 17 x 45mm planar magnetostatic ribbon tweeter, achieving dispersion up to 34,000 Hz. Low-frequency energy is ported via rear-facing continuous-flare reflex ports tuned to 33 Hz, all enclosed within a low-resonance cabinet supported by M8 threaded outriggers.
KEY FEATURES & PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGIES
- KORE-Derived SMC Driver & Inductor Technology: Utilizes Soft Magnetic Compound (SMC) pole pieces and SMC-KORE inductors within the crossover networks to minimise magnetic distortion and signal coloration.
- 2½ + ½ + ½-Way Crossover Architecture: Multi-staged crossover design allows the three 6½-inch woofers to integrate seamlessly across lower-bass, mid-bass, and midrange bands for coherent room-filling sound.
- Clarity Cone Paper & Wood Fibre Woofers: Three 6½-inch woofers featuring embossed Clarity Cone structural patterns to optimize cone breakup and maintain natural midrange focus.
- DALI Hybrid Tweeter Module: Integrates a 29mm ultra-lightweight soft fabric dome tweeter (designed without fluid damping) with a 17 x 45mm planar magnetostatic ribbon tweeter for wide high-frequency dispersion.
- Continuous-Flare Bass Reflex Ports: Aerodynamically optimized rear reflex ports tuned to 33 Hz equalize cabinet pressure and eliminate air turbulence at high volume levels.
- Hand-Built Danish Cabinetry: Individually crafted in Denmark, featuring a heavily braced enclosure equipped with heavy-duty bi-wireable terminals and M8 spike outriggers in four luxury finishes.
