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.

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.

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.”
