Ruark Audio

Based on the South East Coast of England Ruark Audio are a family-owned company with an amazing passionate team.

For their products they have three key objectives…

Mission

The mission is to design products that appeal to the heart as much as the head. Products that they ourselves would be proud to own.

Design

The aim is to create design icons of the future! Clean lines and proportions allied to special features such as the RotoDial control system make their products unique and instantly recognizable.

Performance & Functionality

Their goal is for class-leading performance, intuitive operation and functions that are really beneficial, rather than frivolous features that may seldom be used.

Since launch, Ruark models have become regarded as the finest available, gaining critical acclaim, including the Sunday Telegraph memorably describing our first generation R1 as ‘the Aston Martin of DAB radios’. This statement concisely describes our company ethos.

The Stereo Music Centres of the 1970s started the hi-fi revolution and our new R610 Music Console brings this highly popular concept back and completely up to date. With comprehensive connection and streaming capabilities, R610 has been designed and crafted for sound, to get people back to the joy of music.

 

R610 Music Console delivers aesthetic appeal seldom seen among Hi-Fi components and this same devotion to detail is matched within. Powering R610 is a modern switch mode power supply, providing optimised powerlines to the system’s motherboard and latest generation digital amplifiers. With Burr-Brown DACs and audio grade components used throughout and a nominal output of 75 watts per channel, R610 is controlled and dynamic – but most importantly, it delivers a delightfully natural sound that makes music thoroughly enjoyable.

Each generation of our R1 has been an evolution of the original, but with R1 Mk4 we wanted it to be more progressive both in design and performance. Using a precision moulding process has allowed us to gently profile the enclosure providing a fresh new look and the perfect surface for our new Light Cream and Espresso finishes.

With its slim profile, SmartRadio tuner, inclusive streaming options and natural, powerful sound, the new R2 has been designed to fit easily into your life and surroundings and makes it easy to enjoy the music you love the most. Like that first tea or coffee in the morning, R2 is an essential element to creating a great day, all day and every day. Full details can be found here

Building upon its already impressive performance for 2023, R3 has been further refined and is now named R3S. Outwardly R3S retains the same beautiful compact design with its acoustically tuned handcrafted cabinet and high contrast O-LED display, but inwardly R3S features a powerful new processor and revised circuitry to deliver slicker performance and an even more engaging sound.
