Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Rubicon R5a and R6a Studio Reference Monitors by Samson Audio.
The Samson Rubicon R5a and R6a are self-powered near-field monitors featuring boisterous power,
superior electronics, robust woofers and advanced designed velocity ribbon tweeters. The proper
implementation of these elements in each model results in a monitor with a linear response from
bottom to top with tight lows and articulate highs. Both models feature Samson's proprietary 1 x
2-inch velocity ribbon tweeter, which offer extremely low distortion and sweet highs that are clear
and precise. For the thunderous lows, the R6a features a 6.5-inch copolymer woofer, while the low
frequency response is more than adequately handled by the R5a 5-inch copolymer woofer. Both
Rubicon monitors are bi-amped. 75 watts of low frequency power and 25 watts for the highs on the
Rubicon 6a, and 50 watts of low frequency power and 25 watts for the highs on the Rubicon 5a. The
Rubicon monitors are ideal near field monitor system for studios, video post production suites, fixed
installations or where great sound is desired.
In these pages, you’ll find a detailed description of the features of the Rubicon R5a and R6a monitors,
as well as a guided tour through its control panel, step-by-step instructions for its setup and use, and
