DALI RUBICON 2 C Wireless Bookshelf Loudspeaker
Product Gallery
Product Overview
DALI RUBICON 2 C is a wireless bookshelf loudspeaker with built-in Burr Brown PCM1796 DACs and class D amps in each unit, streaming music from the DALI Sound Hub or the Sound Hub Compact.
The RUBICON C series follows the success of the CALLISTO C series in making HiFi more accessible to modern consumers who prefer a more minimalist setup that excels in suboptimal listening environments.
The active version of the mid-high-end RUBICON series from DALI, the RUBICON 2 C combines a soft dome tweeter with DALI's wood fibre cone woofers.
Another speaker in the RUBICON C series is the floorstanding, RUBICON 6 C.

Reviewer score 81%Dali's Rubicon 2 Cs use a hybrid soft dome and ribbon tweeter design. Their 29mm soft dome tweeter and 16.5cm wood fibre cone woofer are each driven directly by their own 250W Class D amplifier. Vocal delivery is a speciality of the Dalis thanks to the sheer warmth and clarity offered, while bass notes are equally satisfying both in terms of depth and drive.
