Ruark Audio, an exponent of high-design music systems, has unveiled its latest all-in-one, the R810. Where cutting-edge connectivity meets impeccable design, it’s a centrepiece likely to appeal to fashionistas and music fans alike.
A sibling to the recently launched R410 music system, the R810 shares the signature design elements of its counterpart. Encased in a crafted veneered cabinet with a handcrafted grille, and standing on a polished chrome stand, it is available in soft grey or walnut finishes.
Fronting the R810 is a 4-inch full-colour display, offering both setting and source information along with album artwork. It comes with Ruark’s distinctive RotoDial Bluetooth remote control, adding a touch of sophistication to the user experience.

Designed for both music streaming enthusiasts and vinyl aficionados, the R810 boasts support for various platforms, including Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Apple AirPlay, and Chromecast built-in. With high-resolution capabilities up to 32-bit/384kHz and Bluetooth aptX HD connectivity, this system delivers a forward facing streaming experience. For those preferring a wired connection, an Ethernet port is thoughtfully provided alongside Wi-Fi.
The R810 isn’t limited to just music; it seamlessly integrates with your TV through HDMI ARC/eARC. Additional source options include a digital optical audio input (24-bit 192kHz) and comprehensive radio options with DAB/DAB+, FM, and Internet radio on board.
Under the hood, the R810 flexes its sonic muscles with a 180W channel Class A-B discrete component amplifier. Two 30mm Ruark silk dome tweeters, a pair of 100mm paper cone woofers, and a robust 200mm Ruark long throw paper cone subwoofer work in harmony to deliver an class leading auditory experience.
Priced at £3,000, the Ruark Audio R810 is a testament to the brand’s commitment to blending timeless design with cutting-edge technology.
As Alan O’Rourke, Ruark Managing Director, puts it, “R810 is our most technically advanced product to date, but a loving homage to those radiograms of yesteryear.”
