Ruark Audio R610 Compact Streaming Amplifier with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 

The Stereo Music Centres of the 1970s started the hi-fi revolution and Ruark’s new R610 Music Console brings this highly popular concept back and completely up to date. With comprehensive connection and streaming capabilities, R610 has been designed and crafted for sound, to get people back to the joy of music.

Designed to Perform
R610 Music Console delivers aesthetic appeal seldom seen among hi-fi components and this same devotion to detail is matched within. Powering R610 is a modern switch mode power supply, providing optimised powerlines to the system’s motherboard and latest generation digital amplifiers. With Burr-Brown DACs and audio grade components used throughout 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 thoroughly enjoyable.

You’re in Control
Ruark’s RotoDial controller has been a distinctive part of their products since 2006. For 100 Series they have refined its design further and with tactile soft touch buttons and a precisely weighted control dial, it makes operating R610 a delight. Enhancing the operating experience is the crisp 5" TFT display which confirms every command, as well as showing album and station artwork in perfect clarity. Also included is a matching rechargeable remote. Bluetooth connectivity means that aiming is not required, so you can relax and fully control R610 from afar.

Divine Connection
The R610 streaming amplifier provides all the connectivity you are ever likely to need, and with a powerful processor it is capable of handling the highest quality audio streams. With Internet Radio, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, Apple AirPlay and Google Cast all built in, a vast selection of music awaits to be discovered.

R610 also makes it easy to rediscover treasured physical music formats. A quality phono stage makes it simple to connect a turntable, while for CD playback Ruark will soon be unveiling their own Compact Disc Player called the R-CD100. This will integrate and connect with R610 and Ruark’s other 100 Series models via the USB socket on the rear. Last but not least, R610’s HDMI ARC/eARC connection provides a great sound solution for those seeking a system that also elevates TV and film enjoyment to a new level.

R610 + Sabre-R | Perfect Partners
First introduced in 1985, Ruark are proud to announce the return of one of their original iconic loudspeaker names. Uniting sonic excellence with elegant aesthetics, the R610 Music Console and Sabre-R bookshelf speakers partner perfectly to create a complete music system for the modern era and embody Ruark’s ethos of making products with soul that customers will cherish and enjoy for years to come.
