February 3, 2006

(Click for a close-up)

Samson believes innovative pro audio gear should be available to everyone. The Rubicon R8a is the next member of the groundbreaking Rubicon Studio Monitor line that brought ribbon driver technology to the masses.

The 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. Ribbon drivers are non-dispersive, unlike a tradition diaphragm tweeter and add no resonant color, they are 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.

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

Take advantage of Samson's affordable innovations: listen to the new Rubicon R8a Ribbon Studio Monitors today. The Rubicon R8a lists for $679.99.
