Beautifully Connected
The R410 is designed for the modern era of music consumption, catering to evolving tastes. It excels in streaming music and optimizing the online music and radio services available today, while still offering connectivity for legacy devices like turntables and CD drives. The 100 Series, including the R410, is equipped with a powerful processor capable of handling high-quality audio files and streams, supporting platforms such as Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, Apple AirPlay, and Chromecast built-in. The R410’s user interface is seamless, with user-friendly controls via the RotoDial controller, a familiar feature for Ruark enthusiasts.
Designed to be Seen
Ruark has paid meticulous attention to design, proportions, and a dash of seventies-inspired styling with the R410. Crafted from top-quality materials, including hand-crafted grilles and cabinets, the 100 Series showcases Ruark’s expertise in blending cabinet, amplifier, and drive unit design. The new eco-wood material used for the grille construction and enclosure is not only sustainable but also offers a consistent, long-lasting grain pattern.
The RotoDial control system, a Ruark trademark since 2006, has been enhanced, providing an engaging tactile experience. The R410 also includes a rechargeable remote with improved Bluetooth connectivity, ensuring a delightful user experience.
Engineered to be Heard
The striking design of the 100 Series is matched by its impressive audio performance. The R410 features optimized reflex enclosures that create ideal conditions for the bass-mid-units. These larger units deliver powerful and controlled bass through to a natural midrange, while custom 20mm tweeters add detail and ambience.
Ruark has incorporated next-generation digital amplifiers for the R410, offering high efficiency, ultralow distortion, and a minimal signal path. With audiophile-grade components, Burr-Brown DACs, a fully active speaker system, and cutting-edge audio processing technologies, Ruark has achieved a remarkable leap in performance, bringing music enthusiasts closer to their beloved sounds.
