Studio Monitors with the Pure Sound of a Ribbon Tweeter!

The Samson Rubicon 5a Active Ribbon Studio Monitor features a 2" Velocity Ribbon high frequency transducer that compliments its 2-way active system, making it capable of reproducing playback in its most natural form. Using the unique properties of ribbon drivers, Samson brings audiophile sound to a moderately priced system!

Samson Rubicon 5a Active Ribbon Studio Monitor at a Glance:
  • 2-way active monitors with unique ribbon high frequency driver
  • Ribbon technology delivers uncolored sound with natural dispersion
  • Ported enclosure and new high frequency control for tuning system to your room

A system with remarkably clear, accurate sound!
The Rubicon 5a Active Ribbon Studio Monitor is a 2-way system that incorporates the best of traditional and exotic technology to give you clean, uncolored sound. The Rubicon 5a's newly-designed 5" inverted-cone low frequency driver is powered by a built-in 50-watt amplifier to reproduce tight, clear bass sounds. And the high frequency ribbon receives 25 watts to do its magic.

The beauty and response of a ribbon tweeter
The real magic of the Rubicon 5a is its 2" Velocity Ribbon high frequency driver. Ribbons have no resonant color and are non-dispersive, unlike a traditional diaphragm tweeter. The ribbon driver itself has no added sound characteristics; there is no addition or subtraction to the harmonics of the sound the ribbon is producing, so it is completely neutral. 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!

A ported enclosure completes the sound
The bi-amplified Rubicon 5a is housed in a shelf-ported wood enclosure with balanced 1/4" and RCA input connections. A new-design 4-segment high frequency lift control allows you to dial in the ribbon tweeter to your preferred level.

Once you have these remarkable monitors set up in your room, you'll wonder how you managed to do without a ribbon for so long. Give these clean, clear and accurate studio monitors a serious listen!
