Dali Rubikore 8 – Floorstanding Tower Speaker
DaliDali Rubikore: Evolution Through KORE Technology
It is finally the time to bid farewell to the amazing RUBICON series in order to make way for its new mighty successor, DALI RUBIKORE – Evolved through the inspiration and technology of the remarkable DALI KORE flagship loudspeaker, the RUBIKORE range is engineered and designed to satisfy every home audio loudspeaker role with genuine high-performance sound and seductive aesthetic appeal.
In addition to introducing new and unique technologies that combine to provide stellar performance, RUBIKORE is also here to provide broad versatility. Dali's new RUBIKORE loudspeaker range covers various roles from ambitious high-end stereo to high performance home theatre, all the way down to casual background / passive listening. RUBIKORE is available in a plethora of form factors such as floor standing / tower, stand mount / bookshelf, on wall mounted, and home cinema applications, covering just about your every need in the home listening environment.
Upping the audio ante to the max, the DALI RUBIKORE 8 can generate stunning musical soundscapes with ease. Its immensely powerful trio of woofers integrate the bass and midrange bands seamlessly, while the detail and wide dispersion of its DALI hybrid tweeter help it fill even the largest listening spaces with rich clarity and pin-sharp imaging. The RUBIKORE 8 represents the pinnacle of the RUBIKORE entry into pure high-end sound, but at a midrange price.

Exceptional Acoustic Performance
The RUBIKORE are wide bandwidth, loudspeakers packed with DALI KORE inspired technology. The RUBIKORE series is designed to meet the needs of the most ambitious high- end home hi-fi and theatre systems. It combines ultimate musical power and bandwidth with intense natural delicacy and warmth.
Evolution Through Kore Technology
Inspired by the DALI KORE, the RUBIKORE 8 employs a Clarity Cone™ Technology SMC driver and a rotatable Hybrid Tweeter module with a brand new ferrofluid-free, low-loss dome tweeter to deliver the most detailed high-end sound. The Hybrid Tweeter module can also be rotated so you can enjoy amazing audio in both portrait or horizontal orientations.
Hand Crafted By Dali
The entire RUBIKORE series is hand-crafted and assembled at DALI in Denmark and is predominantly a product of in-house skill, expertise, design, and manufacture. But in addition to its Danish assembly, the RUBIKORE also calls on numerous nearby component suppliers and skills to reinforce its fully Danish roots. RUBIKORE is Danish to the core.
Danish Furniture Design
The long tradition of Danish joinery and cabinet making is fully expressed in the RUBIKORE 8. The exquisite craftsmanship balances generous dimensions with elegance and style, while the extensively braced cabinet provides an immensely rigid and inert platform for the drivers to deliver an outstanding audio performance.
Wide Applications
Comprehensively meeting the needs of contemporary high-performance music in the home is a fundamental aim of the new RUBIKORE range. The RUBIKORE series brilliantly covers both traditional stereo and home theatre roles with its very wide bandwidth clarity combined with high dynamic sound reproduction. The RUBIKORE range covers nearly every need from on-wall, floor-standing, to stand-mount, and regardless of format, excels in every way.
DALI Hybrid Tweeter
The signature DALI Hybrid Tweeter is a master of wide dispersion and high frequency detail. It combines a new Low-Loss soft dome tweeter and a planar tweeter for exceptional high frequency performance.
NEW Low-Loss Dome Tweeter
All the RUBIKORE models employ a completely new dome tweeter design without ferrofluid in the magnet gap. Inspired by the flagship EVO-K™ Hybrid Tweeter used in the DALI KORE, the RUBIKORE tweeter by removing the ferrofluid results in better low- level dynamics and a more open and effortless sound providing ultimate resolution in the high frequencies.
NEW 6.5" Double Magnet SMC Drivers
The 6½-inch SMC Clarity Cone™ Technology drivers used in the RUBIKORE range reproduce a clean, detailed sound with extremely low distortion. The addition of a new powerful double magnet system helps to focus the magnetic field - resulting in lower losses and class leading sound reproduction through minimized driver distortion.
NEW Clarity Cone™ Technology
Inspired by the DALI KORE midrange driver, the new Clarity Cone™ Technology paper and wood fibre structure of the RUBIKORE range drivers results in a lightweight yet rigid diaphragm with enhanced resonance suppression for consistent and controlled cone motion. Dali's Clarity Cone™ Technology bass/midrange driver diaphragms help ensure a natural midrange clarity, free from colouration
Premium Spike Set + Aluminium Cone Outriggers
The Premium Spike Set improves the bass and midrange reproduction by coupling the speakers firmly into the floor, improving the impulse response and dynamic capabilities when the loudspeaker is playing. (Only found on RUBIKORE 8 and RUBIKORE 6, included in the box)
NEW Visual Appearance
The visual design has been throughly evolved on RUBIKORE range. From the newly designed tweeter baffles and covers, to the new premium front grille designs and the exclusive and updated cabinet finishes the RUBIKORE range is much a breath of fresh air in aesthetics as it is in sound quality.
NEW Continous Flare Reflex Ports
The RUBIKORE range employs DALI KORE inspired Continuous Flare Port technology that helps the bass drivers deliver exceptionally deep and distortion-free low frequencies without undesirable turbulence, port resonance, or port noise all while maximizing efficiency.
NEW Audiophile Grade Mundorf™ Crossover
Using the same SMC KORE™ inductors and hand- picked audiophile grade Mundorf™ capacitors from DALI KORE, the RUBIKORE crossovers deliver class leading performance to reduce losses even further.
NEW SMC-KORE™ Crossover Inductors
Come closer to the original recording with our unique SMC-KORE™ crossover inductors, featuring our patented SMC material for lower DC resistance, a shorter signal path, less vulnerability to inductor crosstalk, lower current distortion all working together to reduce losses even further. (exclusive to RUBIKORE 6 and RUBIKORE 8 only)
NEW Bi-Wire / Bi-Amp Terminals
The new RUBIKORE series features high-quality bi-wire terminals for optional bi wiring or bi amping. The DALI designed terminals accept bare wire, bananas or spade lugs and feature gold plated contact points for the lowest contact resistance and lowest possible signal loss.
