Designed to Be Seen

With exquisite attention to detail and a modern take on seventies styling, R410 is a product that’s designed to be seen. From the hand-crafted grille and cabinet to the precision-formed components, only the finest quality materials have been used.

Further enhancing R410’s stunning aesthetics is the material that we’ve selected for the grille and enclosure. Engineered from sustainable woods that are expertly spliced and recomposed, the resulting material closely resembles slow-growing hardwoods, but with true ecological credentials.

Hi-Res Connectivity and CD Support

R410 provides all the connectivity you are ever likely to need. Streaming is its speciality, but if you want to play LPs or CDs, these can still be enjoyed by connecting a turntable to the phono inputs or a CD-ROM drive to the USB-C socket. Additionally with its HDMI ARC/eARC input, you can connect most modern TVs to R410, with its expansive sound making watching TV a wholly enjoyable experience.

Able to play the highest quality audio streams, R410 brings a new level of insight and pleasure to music. Spotify Connect and TIDAL Connect are built-in and with the addition of Apple AirPlay and Chromecast built-in, you can stream directly from apps such as Apple Music, BBC Sounds, Amazon Music, Qobuz with better than CD sound and for radio lovers, R410s Internet Tuner provides swift access to an amazing array of stations worldwide. Finally with R410, you can also easily build a flexible multi-room system, linking it with other AirPlay and Chromecast speakers, including another R410 or our flagship R810.

Beautiful to Control

Our RotoDial control system has been a distinctive part of Ruark products since the introduction of our R1 in 2006, but for 100 Series we have refined its design from top to bottom. Also included with R410 is a matching rechargeable remote. Bluetooth connectivity means that aiming is not required – and like a quality watch, it’s an item that you will love to use, as it looks and feels so good. 

Beautiful to See

R410’s advanced processor has allowed us to provide a slick user interface, handling input from apps and our control system and promptly displaying the interaction on R410’s colour high-resolution display. The portrait orientation of the display intentionally emulates the way that we view most services on our smartphones, making R410 intuitive to use, but most importantly the display brings an interactive element to R410 that few other systems offer.

MR1 MK3

Crafted for customers who appreciate aesthetics and sound in equal measure, MR1 Mk3 is where thoughtful design meets true artistry and where precision audio engineering makes every note resonate with clarity. Whether you’re exploring digital worlds or rediscovering the joy of playing records again, MR1 Mk3 turns everyday listening into something extraordinary, for a sound you’ll always come back to. 

Since 1985, Ruark Audio has designed and engineered all their music systems in-house, driven by an enduring commitment to audio excellence. The MR1 Mk3 brings four decades of innovation and craftsmanship together in one beautifully balanced speakers system.

Big Sound, Compact Form

Winner of What Hi-Fi’s Best Desktop Speaker award for seven years, the MR1 Mk2 became a firm favourite, but the Mk3 improves upon this greatness with a sound that’s simply exceptional.

The new handcrafted cabinets provide ideal acoustic properties and with their bevelled front edges and Slate Grey grilles, now look even more stylish. Size wise the enclosures have been subtly enlarged to allow optimum volume for their new NS+ Bass/Mid units and for amplification they've adapted the Class D technology used in their R410, for a sizable increase in power output and control.

Painstaking optimization of the speaker crossover and reflex tuning have resulted in a significant leap in acoustic performance. The MR1 Mk3 delivers deeper bass, a clear lucid midrange, and exceptional high frequency detail from our custom 20mm silk dome tweeters, so from the shimmer of cymbals to the resonance of a cello, every nuance is delivered with clarity and depth.

Your Sound, Your Way

The MR1 Mk3 has been designed to be versatile, so no matter how you listen, they adapt to you. Equipped with Bluetooth aptX HD, they deliver pristine high resolution wireless playback and with switchable connections including a combined analogue/optical input, USB audio input and a dedicated turntable input you can easily plug in auxiliary devices of your choice. Whether you’re streaming, playing vinyl, gaming, or connecting your television for an enhanced viewing experience, MR1 can do it all. 

Your Vinyl, Reimagined

The vinyl revival shows no sign of abating and combining MR1 with a quality turntable, is a perfect way to enjoy this timeless format. With a superior moving magnet pre-amp with variable gain built-in, it’s easy to pair and match MR1 with most modern cartridges, allowing consistent volume levels across inputs.

As a system for playing vinyl, MR1 brings analogue warmth with modern clarity and bass with unprecedented precision, transforming casual listening into an immersive musical journey revealing new dimensions in recordings old and new.

Desktop Audio, Redefined 

The MR1 desktop speakers will transform your home workspace with sound that defies their compact size and with a USB-C audio input, the best quality, high resolution playback from connected computers and smart devices is guaranteed. Experience desktop audio that elevates both your environment and listening journey, bringing studio-quality sound to your personal space.
