Ruark Audio R3 All In One Music System
The beautiful new R3 all-in-one music system
from British audio brand Ruark builds upon the
company’s human-first approach to technology.
Ruark believes everyone deserves good design in their lives and the
smart, elegant R3 system helps people enjoy life that little bit more. It
combines a dapper, upscale design with a versatile and playful form
factor, topped off by a sublime sound that belies its compact stature. It
is also hugely flexible, empowering users to do more than they thought
possible with such a system.
As you would expect from the leading purveyor of stylish standalone
sound systems, R3’s new design enhances modern life and the modern
home with its versatility of placement. At home in the living room,
kitchen, bedroom, study or bathroom, it can fit seamlessly into any
living area where space is at a premium – without any compromise on
performance or style.
The R3’s combination of tactile and luxurious materials sees the continuation of Ruark’s
signature and eye-catching design language. It exudes quality and premium craftsmanship,
from the curvaceous form of the hand-crafted cabinet to the coolness of the glass display,
the warmth of the woven fabric grille to the trademark RotoDial controller. With its carefully
considered proportions creating a purposeful look and the cantilevered legs subtly angling
R3 upwards, this system is ready to perform.
This superbly versatile and compact one-box wonder offers comprehensive listening
options for every music fan. Stream songs from your favourite music services such as Spotify
Connect, TIDAL, Amazon Music and Deezer over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth aptX, access its Smart
Radio functionality to tune into internet, DAB/DAB+ or FM stations, or spin a CD using the
onboard player.
R3 can also be part of your TV and Smart Home set-up, with switchable analogue and digital
inputs so devices such as a TV, Alexa Echo Dot or Google Home Mini can be easily connected.
Built around more than three decades of high-end audio expertise and pedigree, the
compact R3 delivers a dynamic performance akin to larger system with separate speakers.
The cabinet has been carefully tuned to provide the ideal housing for our NS+ loudspeaker
units. Featuring a low-reflection air-flowed chassis, powerful neodymium magnet system
and lightweight cone assembly, these drivers provide a full-range performance that belies
their size.
Driving the system is a high-fidelity two-channel Class A-B amplifier, and with our own
algorithms and the latest digital sound processing we have been able to finely control the
sound at every level to provide detail and a realistic sound stage that exceeds R3’s compact
profile. Whatever your taste in music R3 is a remarkable all-in-one system that fulfils the
needs of even the most discerning listener.
The Ruark Audio R3 is available in both Rich Walnut and Soft Grey lacquer finishes.
