Description

A Fresh Approach

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 acoustic treatment the enclosure is sturdy and acoustically inert, providing the ideal housing for our electronics and NS+ driver.

Enhancing the design further is a beautiful hand-crafted slatted wood grille. This brings added sophistication and creates a timeless Eames like vibe, but overall, the design is still unique and distinctly Ruark.

A New Standard in Sound

Our previous R1 models were critically acclaimed for their sound, but with R1 Mk4 we have further raised the bar! With our heritage in high-fidelity loudspeakers we understand the complexities of enclosure and drive unit design and making sure that both are matched to each other. In particular our latest neodymium NS+ driver, as used in our R3 and R5 models, provides a smooth and extended frequency response and in R1 Mk4's tuned enclosure delivers an impressive bass performance.

Driving the system is a punchy Class A/B linear amplifier for exceptional dynamics and with adaptive equalisation an eminently listenable sound is provided at all volume levels.

A New Standard in Features

Our crisp OLED display clearly shows time, alarm and programme information and auto adjusts to suit ambient light levels, making it a perfect bedside companion. Radio reception is excellent, and a Bluetooth receiver allows you to enjoy R1’s great sound when streaming from your phone or computer.

FM parameters can be set to suit US and Japanese needs and a multilingual user interface makes R1 a truly international proposition. Also with a real time clock built in, time and date are kept active when power is disconnected or when transmitted data is not available.

The list of features continues, but other highlights include a USB-C charge/shuffle playback port, headphone output, switchable line input and of course our trademark RotoDial control system. Finally, for those seeking distant operation, we have an INCLUDED compact remote control.

Compact Remote Control

For the first time we have a compact remote control available for R1. The remote features four direct access preset buttons so you can easily store and select your favourite radio stations.

Ruark R410 High Fidelity Music System

Ruark R410 is the brand’s reference compact active system from British manufacturer Ruark, featuring FM, DAB+ and Internet Radio. It supports wireless connectivity via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, with compatibility for the most popular streaming platforms, including Spotify, Tidal and Amazon Music. Apple AirPlay 2 and Chromecast are also built in.
The R410 is the first model in Ruark’s new Series 100, setting a new benchmark for elegance and sound quality.
The R410 is an extremely versatile all-in-one system: a jewel of technology and design, beautifully integrated, with direct support for DAB+ / FM radio and music streaming services.
The audio world is constantly evolving: from LPs in the 1950s, to CDs in the 1980s, to MP3s in the 2000s. Today we are immersed in the world of streaming, which allows us to browse vast digital libraries across multiple platforms, where every album is just a click away.
With the R410 active system, music can be played directly from the most popular music platforms thanks to the built-in high-quality streamer, while also allowing connection of essential sources such as turntables or CD players.
At the heart of the R410 is a powerful processor capable of handling high-resolution digital audio streams via Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Apple AirPlay 2 and Chromecast. The processor also provides an intuitive interface, controlled either physically via the RotoDial controller on the top panel or through smartphones and tablets.
The RotoDial is the hallmark of the renowned British brand, featured on all products since the R1 in 2006. In the Series 100 it has been further refined, delivering an even more satisfying tactile experience. A rechargeable remote control is included.
For years, Ruark systems have provided sound for the finest domestic and professional environments, achieving great success in hotel installations and commercial spaces.
The refined design of the Series 100, combining wood and hi-tech materials, integrates a high-resolution colour display arranged vertically to echo the layout of modern smartphone streaming apps. The interface is extremely intuitive, allowing easy navigation through controls and clear display of the currently playing tracks.
All controls are managed via the iconic RotoDial located on the top panel, enabling product configuration and fast access to all services. The look recalls the controls found in the interiors of the world’s most elegant cars—unsurprisingly, the press often associates Ruark products with the splendour of Bentley.
Unlike other Ruark Internet Radios that rely on third-party software shared with other brands, the software and internal processing of the R410 are fully custom-designed.
The exceptionally refined and elegant lines of this system, as well as its larger sibling the R810, are inspired by 1970s design. Perfect proportions, premium materials and meticulous attention to detail make this device an ideal complement for any interior style.
The cabinet and front grille are handcrafted using sustainable woods reminiscent of slow-growing hardwoods. The cabinet is also available in a Soft Grey finish to blend seamlessly into any environment.
The R410 is an extremely comprehensive system capable of handling virtually any music source, but its true strength lies in its integrated services.
It features a high-quality radio tuner for FM stations with RDS and digital DAB / DAB+.
For streaming services, Spotify Connect and TIDAL Connect are supported for direct playback from their native players, while Apple AirPlay and Google Chromecast modules enable access to Qobuz, Amazon Music, Deezer and many more. The RJ45 Ethernet port ensures greater network stability and direct access to internet music streams.
It allows playback of files stored on devices connected to the home network, such as PCs or NAS systems, via UPnP and DLNA protocols.
The R410 also supports high-quality wireless playback via Bluetooth, enabling quick and easy music streaming without relying on the home internet network.
Using Apple AirPlay and Google Chromecast, multiroom playback can be set up, allowing all compatible devices throughout the home to play simultaneously.
