Zero-Loss Wireless

The proprietary wireless connection between RUBICON C and the hub is extremely stable and requires no active Wi-Fi signal.


Patented SMC

With an SMC magnet pole-piece surrounded by a slitted copper cap, the effect of the SMC is focused and maximised to reduce distortion.


Wood Fibre Cones

The wood fibre cone gives a light, rigid and uneven surface for even, piston-like motion and greatly reduced surface resonance.


Hybrid Tweeter

Our Danish-made signature hybrid tweeter combines a dome tweeter with a planar element for an amazing rendition of high frequencies.


WIRELESS SPEAKER SYSTEM

Beautiful harmony in the digital world

The RUBICON 6 C is part of the DALI EQUI ecosystem of wireless active speakers and amplifiers that lets you play music in the best possible quality without the need for complicated electronics or speaker cables. The RUBICON 6 C combines the acclaimed drivers and cabinet construction of our passive RUBICON series with the amplifier technology from the CALLISTO series to deliver the ultimate wireless musical experience and enough bass to fill larger rooms.


PATENTED SMC

Reducing distortion with SMC

The RUBICON 6 C draws on the heritage from the SMC-based 'Linear Drive System', introduced with the EPICON series. With SMC, we achieve extremely low distortion and maximise detail, even at low volume. The drivers are manufactured in-house at our production facilities in central Denmark and feature the latest in magnet motor technology. The RUBICON 6 C sets new audio quality standards for Hi-Fi lovers around the world.


CLASS D AMPLIFICATION

Based on state-of-the-art technology

Designing a best-in-class active speaker system is the sum of many parts, including the all-important amplification. Using a digital crossover in place of a passive analogue filter, the RUBICON 6 C's two closed loop, self-oscillating Class D amplifiers drive the woofers and tweeters directly, resulting in a pairing that's tuned to bring out even more dynamic detail in whatever you play.


DALI HYBRID TWEETER

The master of wide dispersion

The DALI hybrid tweeter module features a soft dome tweeter and a planar element that combine to create an amazing rendition of high-frequency details. The voice-coil used in the RUBICON 6 C soft dome is extremely light and agile, which helps it deliver a broader bandwidth. The planar tweeter is the master of wide dispersion and, in combination with the soft dome, reaches as low as 2.5 kHz, providing continuous wide dispersion as the soft dome becomes more directional at higher frequencies. This extreme bandwidth and ultra-wide dispersion is an important part of DALI's sound philosophy.


6½" WOOFERS

Drawing on technology from EPICON series

The woofer cones have a light, rigid and randomly uneven structure, which lowers the complexity of the central part of the motor, ensures piston-like movement, significantly reduces the possibility of surface resonance and minimises distortion. Designed specifically for the RUBICON 6 C, the soft, low-loss rubber surround includes a cast-aluminium chassis designed for maximum airflow around the cone and magnet system.


CABINET DESIGN

Blending elegant design & functionality

The gracefully elegant RUBICON 6 C cabinet provides a rigid foundation for the low-loss drivers mounted directly onto the 25 mm thick front baffle. On this inside, the midrange and bass drivers are enclosed in separate chambers to minimise interference, while the midrange bass reflex port is positioned directly behind the woofer to minimise turbulence and deliver exceptional timing.

Deliciously Crispy

DALI's RUBICON 6 C pairs thunderous low-end authority with airy extended highs from its hybrid tweeter, creating a wide soundstage and towering dynamics that reward critical listening. Reviewers from Gordon Brockhouse and Piero Gabucci also noted the system's active DSP and robust wireless Sound Hub integration.

SoundStage Solo

"If you can deal with those challenges and are looking for a high-performance, self-contained music system for under $10,000, these are speakers you have to hear."

Pros

  • Hybrid tweeter (soft-dome + ribbon) yields extended, detailed highs and convincing cymbal/hi‑hat articulation.
  • Strong, authoritative bass with punch and low‑frequency reach (reviewers reported useful output down into the lowest notes).
  • Impressive soundstage and dynamics—wide, layered imaging and rhythmic drive make complex mixes feel coherent and alive.

&

Cons

  • Low end can be room‑sensitive and become boomy if speakers are left in default positions—careful placement or correction is often needed.
  • Speakers demand space and rear/side clearance (reviewers recommend generous breathing room for best imaging).

Sound Quality

94/100

Bass

94/100

Two 6.5" woofers deliver deep, authoritative output down to low notes (reviewers noted useful output to B0/31Hz). Multiple reviews praise punch, depth and slam, though a few reports mention room-related boominess that can require placement/room correction.

Mid

93/100

Consistently praised for vocal/timbre accuracy and solidity (piano and voices described as immediate and well-defined). Minor toe-in/placement tweaks were occasionally needed to optimize imaging.

Treble

94/100

Hybrid tweeter (soft-dome + ribbon) repeatedly singled out for expressive, extended highs and convincing cymbal/hi‑hat detail without undue etch or harshness.

Soundstage Imaging

94/100

Reviewers reported wide, deep, and well-layered soundstages with clearly placed images and convincing venue ambience when positioned per guidance.

Dynamics

95/100

Described as outstanding dynamic range and rhythmic prowess—able to move quickly from pianissimo to fortissimo with apparent headroom and engaging slam.

Show Less

Build Quality

92/100

High-quality finishes (gloss and walnut options), 25mm front baffle and solid aluminum mounting for the hybrid tweeter module; reviewers found them both attractive and well engineered.

Features Connectivity

96/100

Extensive modern connectivity: onboard amplification, Burr Brown DAC, BluOS module slot, Wi‑Fi/Bluetooth, 24/96 wireless transmission via Sound Hub, sub/pre-outs and expansion slots—multiple reviewers highlighted the comprehensive feature set.

Value for Money

88/100

Reviewers called the system a high-performance, self-contained option under the four-figure to low-five-figure threshold; praise is strong but price positioning and a few setup caveats temper an outright 'best value' claim.
