Ruark Audio is a family-owned British company, passionate about sound and design. Their aim is to make premium music systems that look and sound fabulous. Products that will enhance your home and life.
We’d go as far to say that Ruark Audio are the most exciting name in British audio today.
This is why we’re pleased to announce that the R410, the first of a new line of “100-Series” products, is now available to experience in store.
Designed to be seen
With exquisite attention to detail, perfect proportions, and a modern take on seventies-inspired styling, R410 is a product designed to enhance interior spaces. From the hand-crafted grille and cabinet to the precision-formed components, only the finest quality materials have been used.
Further adding to R410’s aesthetic is the new material that selected for the grille construction and enclosure. Engineered from sustainable woods that have been spliced, coloured, and recomposed, the resulting eco-wood closely resembles slow growing hardwoods, but with the added benefit of consistent grain patterns and colour that’s less prone to change with time.
A feature carried over from the R-Series is the RotoDial control system. Aside from minor updates this has been a unique characteristic of Ruark products since the introduction of R1 in 2006, but for 100-Series its design has improved further, making it a tactile treat to use. In addition, a matching rechargeable remote is also included with R410. Bluetooth connectivity means that aiming is not required – and like a quality watch, it’s an item that people will love to use, as it looks and feels so good.
Engineered to be heard
The striking design of 100 Series conjures up high expectations in sound, and in this respect R410 delivers. The optimised reflex enclosures within the cabinet provide ideal conditions for new long throw NS+ bass- mid units. These units are larger in diameter than those in previous models and deliver seamless, powerful, and controlled bass through to a natural midrange, before custom 20mm tweeters (from the award winning MR1 speakers) take over the high frequencies, adding superb detail and ambience.
As a new phase for Ruark, for the first time they have selected new generation digital amplifiers for R410. Providing high efficiency and output with ultralow distortion, the compact form of these devices has allowed mounting a complete two-channel amplifier assembly directly onto the rear of each bass mid unit, keeping important signal paths optimised and as short as possible.
Along with audiophile-grade components, Burr-Brown DACs, a fully active speaker system and the latest audio processing technologies, Ruark have achieved a magical leap in performance that will connect listeners closer to the sounds they love.
After three years of development, we are truly excited to showcase what 100 Series offers and believe that R410 is the start of a new and exciting chapter for Ruark.
