Active Ribbon Monitors

Show full description »

The Samson Rubicon 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 have no resonant color and even dispersion, unlike a tradition diaphragm tweeter. The ribbon driver itself has no added sound characteristics, 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.

  • 2-way Active Ribbon Studio Reference Monitor
  • 2-inch Velocity Ribbon high frequency transducer
  • 6 1/2-inch low frequency driver with Butyl Surround
  • Bi-Amp design / 75 watts low frequency / 25 watts high frequency
  • 4-position high frequency level control
  • Tuned Shelf-Ported painted wood enclosure

Good when they work

— RogerP November 2, 2009

I have owned these monitors for about two and a half years. The sound is very detailed right across the spectrum but they are a bit too loud for near-field work. The on-PC mixer has to be turned right down in order that the amp has something to do.

Most amps need driving to get the best out of them and these are no exception. When the sound level is turned low (non-headache / earache inducing) they sound quite washed-out. Wind them up a bit and they\'re amazing. Because that treble is so good, it starts to actually hurt at high volumes for long periods. It just depends how long you work with them and how close you sit. Personally, I think the balance of shear power plus high frequencies is too much for long periods of close work. Hence I regret buying them.

The worst is that one of them blew it\'s preamp stage recently (it was doing nothing special at the time) and in Googling around I realise that many other people have had reliability problems them. Since they\'re only sold in pairs, I either have to spend money on repairing one (only to wait for the other to go) or to junk them both now and buy replacements.

So, if you are looking for a near-field monitor and plan to sit within a metre of them, I can\'t recommend them. If you have a large studio and they\'re placed a metre or two away then you\'ll be rewarded with a great sound from these cheap active speakers. However, cheapness comes at a price...

Dolphin Music brings you the best music gear at the best price. We are committed to superior customer service and have extensive product knowledge. However, in today’s market we may not always be aware of all the price fluctuations of the products we sell. So, we offer competitive price matching.

We will compare prices for new, direct from manufacturer items, excluding any add-ons, options, or other special features which may affect price.

The item must be new and must be the exact same make and model (ie, the same size, version, etc.).

Since our postage charges are lower than most of the shops, the comparison price must be a "delivered cost" to the consumer.

The price you have found must be the Internet Retailer's regular, advertised price for a current and available item. The price you found cannot be a closeout, discontinued, blemished, year-end, inventory reduction, or any other type of advertised sale price.

Price Matching requests may not be combined with any other promotional discounts, specials or other price incentives.
