Ruark R610 Streaming Music System with Sabre-R Speakers
Ruark R610 Music Console
Designed to be seen, the R610 Music Console delivers the kind of
aesthetic appeal and ease of use uncommonly seen among hi-fi components.
With tactile soft touch buttons, precisely weighted control dial, and
matching Bluetooth remote, operating R610 is a completely intuitive
experience. A crisp colour display confirms every command, as well as
highlighting custom and album/station artwork in perfect clarity.
Created with sound purity as the priority, this devotion to detail is
matched within R610. Powering the music console is a modern switch mode
power supply, which provides dedicated and optimised powerlines to the
system’s motherboard and latest generation digital stereo amplifiers.
With audio grade components used throughout, including Burr-Brown DACs
and a nominal output of 75 watts per channel, R610 is controlled and
dynamic - but most importantly, it delivers a delightfully natural sound
that makes music all the more enjoyable.
Thanks to its powerful CPU, R610 is able to decode the best quality
audio streams - and with Internet Radio, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect,
Apple AirPlay and Google Cast all built in, an entire universe of music
discovery is just a few buttons clicks away.
Built to be versatile, R610 also makes it easy to rediscover treasured physical music formats. A high quality phono
pre-amp makes it simple to connect a turntable, while CD fans will be able to integrate Ruark’s soon-to-be-launched
CD Drive which will connect via the USB socket on the rear of R610. This CD Drive will also be compatible with R410 and R810.
Last but not least, R610’s HDMI ARC/eARC connection provides a great
sound solution for those seeking a system that elevates both music and
film.
Ruark Sabre-R Speakers
First introduced in 1985, Ruark are proud to announce the return of
one of their original iconic loudspeaker names and their first ever
music console.
Uniting sonic excellence with elegant
aesthetics, the R610 Music Console and Sabre-R bookshelf speakers revive
the stereo concept as a complete music system for the modern era and
embody Ruark’s incredible journey from father-and-son venture to British
hi-fi hero.
Evoking the stereo music centres of the
1970s and echoing the rest of Ruark’s award-winning 100 Series lineup,
the R610 Music Console & Sabre-R Bookshelf Speakers bring timeless
style to any interior space.
From the beautiful
handcrafted cabinets to the trademark RotoDial controller and custom
high-fidelity drive units, only the finest materials and components have
been used to create a hi-fi system with truly wide ranging appeal.
With
many Ruark customers still delighting in the original Sabre
loudspeakers, the Sabre-Rs have likewise been designed to last and
enthral new generations of music lovers, with their ability to breathe
new life into every song.
A celebration of Ruark’s heritage, the speakers have been exquisitely crafted and refined with the understanding
of how each component combines to deliver a stunning, natural, musical experience that you will enjoy endlessly.
In
true Ruark style, the Sabre-R Bookshelf Speakers are as pleasing to the
eye as they are to the ear. Compact and
formed with a high-quality finish usually only found on fine furniture,
the Sabre-Rs bring understated elegance to both classic and contemporary
environments.
“Early in
1984, my father and I were laying the foundations of Ruark and launched
our first Sabre loudspeakers to great acclaim in 1985. Forty years on,
the revival of analogue formats and an ever expanding world of music
streaming means it’s the right time for Ruark to return to its roots
with the Sabre-R. What’s more, our new R610 Music Console allows music
lovers to build an entire system that looks every bit as beautiful as it
sounds.”
