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.
