Ruark R410 Anniversary Edition all in one system
Over the past four decades Ruark has been creating beautifully crafted audio systems designed to bring people closer to the music they love. Reflecting and celebrating these core values the British company is delighted to unveil its new R410 Anniversary Edition – a limited release celebrating the craftsmanship, design and unmistakable sound that have defined the brand since 1986.
The art of listening
The R410 Anniversary Edition embodies everything that has made Ruark so successful – thoughtful design, exceptional craftsmanship and a passion for creating products that transform the art of listening.
With exquisite attention to detail, perfect proportions, and a modern take on mid-century styling, R410 Anniversary Edition is a product designed to enhance interior spaces. From the hand-crafted grille and cabinet to the precision- formed components, only the finest quality materials have been used. Finished in White Oak with ebonised inlay and grille, both woods exude a natural warmth and timeless character designed to complement modern interiors.
The cabinet is finished with real wood and features our iconic Rotodial controls alongside a handcrafted ebonised grille. To commemorate Ruark’s fortieth anniversary, only 500 R410 Anniversary Editions will be produced worldwide. Each system is finished with a commemorative anniversary badge – a subtle mark of the occasion and a reflection of Ruark’s enduring commitment to craftsmanship.
More than simply celebrating a milestone, the R410 Anniversary Edition reflects Ruark’s continued approach to product design, evolving with the way we listen while remaining true to the principles that have shaped the brand since the very beginning.
Beautifully Connected
From the CDs that defined the late eighties to the MP3s of the noughties and today’s streaming platforms, the way we listen to music has continually evolved. Today, there is a huge range of streaming services allowing us to access music old and new.
Designed to connect every generation of music lovers, however they listen to music, the R410 Anniversary Edition effortlessly brings traditional and modern sources together in one beautifully considered system. At its core is the same commitment to intuitive, uncompromising performance that has defined every Ruark product since the very beginning.
At the heart of the system lies a powerful processor, capable of supporting the highest quality audio files and streams, including Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, Apple AirPlay 2 and Chromecast built-in. The processor also provides a slick user interface, handling commands from the Rotodial controller and smartphone apps, and promptly displaying the interaction on the new high-resolution colour display. Meanwhile, the portrait orientation of the display emulates the way that we view music services on our smartphones, making it intuitive and convenient.
Also available alongside R410 Anniversary Edition is a matching limited-edition R-CD100 with ebonised casework.
Crafted without compromise
The striking design of the R410 Anniversary Edition conjures up high expectations in sound and, just like the original R410, the system truly delivers. The optimised reflex enclosures within the cabinet provide ideal conditions for our new long-throw NS+ bass-mid units. These drivers are larger in diameter than those found in legacy Ruark models and deliver seamless, powerful and controlled bass through to a natural midrange, before our custom 20mm tweeters (from our award-winning MR1 Mk3 speakers) take over the high frequencies, adding superb detail and ambience.
Providing high efficiency and output with ultra-low distortion, the compact form of these devices has allowed us to mount a complete two-channel amplifier assembly directly onto the rear of each bass mid unit, keeping important signal paths optimised and as short as possible. Along with audiophile-grade components, Burr-Brown DACs, a fully active speaker system and the latest audio processing technologies we have achieved a magical leap in performance that will connect customers closer to the sounds they love. Ruark R410 Anniversary RRP £1,399/€1,599.
“The R410 Anniversary Edition brings together everything we care about. Extraordinary sound, considered design and exquisite materials chosen not just for how they look but how they sound. This system is the culmination of 40 years of hard work and it’s something we’re proud to make and hopefully you can be proud to own.” Alan O’Rourke, founder and MD of Ruark.
