Description

Ruark Audio R810 Integrated Streaming Music System

A statement product designed to form the focal point of any room, Ruark’s new flagship model is a radical reimagining of a design icon. With stunning sound, seamless connectivity, and expert craftsmanship, R810’s clean, precise lines and polished chrome stand echo the cutting-edge technology that lies beneath its elegant construction.

As much a piece of sculptural furniture as it is an entertainment system, the Ruark R810 strengthens the emotional connection between you and the music you love most with every play.

An Object To Desire

Like the iconic radiograms of yesteryear, the Ruark R810 is a product that has been designed to be seen. Enhancing R810’s aesthetics is the special material Ruark selected for the handcrafted grille and veneered cabinets. Made from sustainable woods that are spliced and reconstituted, the resulting grain patterns closely resemble slow-growing hardwoods but without the ecological impact. Combined with the precision formed trims and polished chrome stand, R810 radiates sophistication and like the finest furniture, it is an object that you will cherish and be proud to have on display in your home.

A Beautiful Display

Many systems today rely totally on smartphones and suchlike to provide information on settings and source, but with R810 the hi-resolution display provides all the information you need right in front of you and brings the look of R810 to life. With its portrait orientation the display intentionally emulates the way we view music applications on our phones and in conjunction with the new RotoDial controller makes R810 second nature to use. The intensity of the display in standby and active mode is also fully adjustable to suit your preference.

Beauty Isn’t Just Skin Deep

Ruark are passionate about aesthetic design, but they know that it’s what lies beneath that is fundamental in creating great sound. An example of this is R810’s enclosure where inside it has been carefully divided into compartments, with each compartment optimised for its intended task. Twin bass reflex compartments house the NS+ bass-midrange drive units and silk dome tweeters and the long throw subwoofer is housed beneath, in an infinite baffle enclosure for superbly controlled and extended, deep bass.

Driving the system is a powerful five channel Class A-B discrete component amplifier. Five separate channels means that each drive unit is precisely controlled, in combination with the latest sound processing technologies, music is produced with effortless ease, creating a stunning soundstage that will immerse you and fill your home with exquisite sound.

Fully Connected

R810 is a fully integrated entertainment system and provides all the connectivity you are ever likely to need. Streaming is its forte, but if you want to play records and CDs, these mediums can also be enjoyed by connecting a turntable to the phono inputs or a CD-ROM drive to the USB-C socket. Additionally with its HDMI ARC/eARC input, you can connect R810 to most modern TVs, taking the enjoyment of watching films to another level with its dynamic, spacious sound.

With its ability to play the highest quality audio streams, R810 opens a whole world of music and entertainment. Spotify Connect and TIDAL Connect are built-in and with the addition of Apple AirPlay and Chromecast built-in, you can stream and control directly from apps such as Apple Music, BBC Sounds, Amazon Music, Qobuz and many more. In addition you can also build a flexible multi-room system, linking R810 with other AirPlay and Chromecast compatible devices, including its baby brother, the R410.

Tactile, Intuitive Controls

With touch-screens seemingly controlling everything these days, in our opinion you still can’t beat the positive click of a button or satisfying turn of a dial, particularly when it comes packaged as something unique and beautiful like the Ruark RotoDial control system, which for 100 Series has been improved and enhanced.

Included with R810 is a matching rechargeable remote. Bluetooth connectivity means that aiming is not required during operation and looking so good, it’s an item that you will want to leave out on display for everyone to touch and see.
