Rubicon R8a Features
The Samson Rubicon R8a reference monitors provide a smooth response that is accurate, and at the same
time, pleasant to listen to. Here are some of its main features:
•
Two-way, active ribbon studio monitor with ported tuned enclosure providing extremely accurate moni-
toring for recording studio, post-production and multi-media applications.
•
The Rubicon R8a employes a 8” Copolymer Butyl Surround woofer providing both monitors with a tight
and controlled low frequency response.
•
1 x 2” Planer Ribbon tweeter provides sweet and accurate high frequency response for the R8a with low
distortion.
•
The Rubicon R8a features active electronics including a Bi-Amp power amplifier with 75 watts on the low
frequency driver and 25 watts on the high frequency ribbon.
•
Four-position high frequency Ribbon Level control allows the listener to contour the response curve to
custom tailor the response that works best in the mix environment.
•
Active crossover utilizing a multi-pole design for linear response from bottom to top.
•
Interfacing the monitors to most any -10 or + 4db signal source is quick and easy thanks to the R8a’s bal-
anced input on an XLR and 1/4-inch jack and unbalanced input on an RCA jack.
• A/V shielded for multimedia applications providing clean operation near computer monitors.
•
Solid MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) construction, extremely rigid delivering maximum SPL.
•
Black satin finish is attractive and durable thanks to the heavy textured epoxy paint.
•
Three-year extended warranty.
