Description
The Rubicon Vokal is a 3-way centre speaker from Dali, designed to occupy the centre channel of a home cinema installation. Its role is to reproduce the dialogue and central soundtrack of films and series with precision, complementing the main speakers and the subwoofer.
It relies on a hybrid architecture combining a 29 mm soft dome tweeter and a 178 mm ribbon tweeter, a combination characteristic of the Rubicon range which aims to open up the treble rendering while retaining smoothness at the highest frequencies. The stated frequency response extends up to 34 kHz, reflecting the extension of this hybrid arrangement beyond the audible spectrum. The lower part of the spectrum is handled by two 16.5 cm woofers with wood fibre cones, a material Dali uses for its rigidity-to-weight ratio, favourable to a controlled midrange-bass. The sensitivity of 88 dB and impedance of 6 Ω, combined with a recommended power of 100 W, position this centre speaker for use with common home cinema amplifiers.
This speaker is aimed at a user who has already invested in a pair of Dali Rubicon speakers or an equivalent-level home cinema system, and who is looking for a centre channel capable of matching the level of detail and tonal quality of their main speakers. Its extended frequency response and 3-way architecture make it a sensible choice for a lounge dedicated to picture and sound, rather than for a simple supplementary setup.

What to check before buying used
Check the condition of the suspensions on both 16.5 cm woofers: sagging or a crack in the wood fibre cone indicates a worn component that affects the midrange-bass. Also inspect the 178 mm ribbon tweeter, more fragile than a conventional dome, as well as the 29 mm soft dome for any denting or tearing. Finally, examine the Walnut finish cabinet: knocks, veneer chips or panel lifting are mostly visible on the edges and corners.
