Clean, Uncolored Highs from Ribbon Drivers
Samson's Rubicon R8a Active Ribbon Studio Monitors feature 2-inch Velocity Ribbon high frequency transducers that compliment a 2-way active system capable of reproducing playback in its most natural form.

Samson Rubicon R8a Active Studio Monitors at a Glance:
  • Ribbon drivers deliver uncolored high frequencies
  • Bi-amped system with 8" inverted cone woofer

Ribbon drivers deliver uncolored high frequencies
The Samson Rubicon R8a's ribbon drivers have no resonant color and are non-dispersive, unlike a traditional diaphragm tweeter. The ribbon driver itself has no added sound characteristics, in technical terms; there is no addition or subtraction to the harmonics of the sound they are producing, so they are completely neutral. The R8a's ribbon technology gives you clean, accurate, and precise listening, which is why these monitors sound so natural and lifelike, just like a studio monitor should.

Bi-amped system with 8" inverted cone woofer
The Rubicon R8a features a bi-amped power section offering 75 watts to a newly-designed 8" inverted cone low-frequency driver and 25 watts to the high frequency ribbon. The 2-way R8a system is housed in a shelf-ported wood enclosure with RCA, balanced 1/4" and XLR input connections. There is also a 4-segment high frequency lift control that allows the listener to dial in the ribbon tweeter to their preferred level.


Samson Rubicon R8a Active Studio Monitors Features:
  • 2-way active ribbon studio reference monitor
  • 2" Velocity Ribbon high-frequency transducer
  • 8" inverted cone low-frequency driver with butyl surround
  • Bi-amp power: 75 watts LF / 25 watts HF
  • 4-position high frequency level control
  • Tuned, shelf-ported enclosure

The Rubicon R8a Active Studio Monitors deliver clean, uncolored sound!
