Congratulations on the purchase of your new Skylon Rubicon Tower Speakers! The Rubicon Series delivers the
loudest, clearest, most efficient use of power available in any tower speaker.They reproduce the finest details of the
midrange while reproducing the mid-bass range with intense dynamics and exceptional transient response.
Their performance provides a truly exciting listening experience.
The design and materials of the Rubicon Series drivers are what provide a high level of performance. The cones
are formed from poly-mica. A poly-mica cone gives you the smooth frequency response of a polypropylene cone
with the dynamics and detail of a light paper cone.with the dynamics and detail of a light paper cone. They are formed with a reinforcing ridge at the outer edge to
further stiffen the cone body and damp resonances in the body of the cone. The result is a very stiff and light cone
that is well damped for excellent transient response, high efficiency, and very low distortion. A santoprene surround
provides outstanding performance and weather resistance. High temperature copper wire voice coils and large
oversized motor structures provide the power necessary for high efficency and incredible transient response with
intense dynamics.

In 2005 Skylon introduced Long Throw Technology to the market. Controlled dispersion HLCD (horn loaded
compression driver) speakers are the most technologically advanced method for overcoming the acoustics of the compression driver) speakers are the most technologically advanced method for overcoming the acoustics of the
wakeboarding speaker environment. Their proprietary characteristics make them the ultimate choice in midrange
and high frequency reproduction combining very high efficiency, wide bandwith and proper dispersion pattern.
The Skylon horn loaded speaker design yield many advantages over direct radiating speaker designs. With ultra
high efficiency of up to105dB you can experience your music with impact and realism even at 90 feet behind the boat.
By utilizing the proprietary Skylon design method, your speakers will sound better in a boat than any other speakers.
That is because SkylonThat is because Skylon’s engineers work in the boat. Each and every speaker is designed and tested in real world
boat environments. They are not warmed over car audio speakers installed in a boat. Only Skylon offers a “system”
approach where both tower and in-boat speakers are designed as a family. Only Skylon does this! When you
combine the benefits of controlled dispersion, high efficiency, and low distortion, it becomes clear that they are the
ultimate choice for a wakeboard tower speaker!
The heart of these systems is the crossover network which is more than just a simple frequency dividing system.
It incorporates a complex multiple frequency equalization circuit with attenuation to match the output of the HLCDIt incorporates a complex multiple frequency equalization circuit with attenuation to match the output of the HLCD
to the mid-bass drivers. The crossover section is manufactured utilizing metallized film capacitors and high power
low loss inductors. Thank you for choosing Skylon as your preferred tower speaker manufacturer!
Note: The 2+ and
2- terminals on the
input connectors
are not used unless
optional speaker
light is installed.
