Design and Build

The R810 is more than just a speaker; it’s an object to desire. Inspired by the iconic radiograms of the past, the R810 features a handcrafted wood cabinet with a sustainably sourced veneer that mimics the beauty of slow-growing hardwoods without ecological impact. The grille, crafted from special materials, complements the precision-formed trims and polished chrome stand, making the R810 a visual masterpiece as well as an audio one.

Every detail of the R810’s design serves a purpose. Internally, the cabinet is divided into carefully optimized compartments to house the NS+ bass-midrange units, silk dome tweeters, and a long-throw subwoofer in an infinite baffle enclosure. This ensures controlled and extended bass performance while minimizing unwanted vibrations. A beautifully integrated 4-inch high-resolution display adds both elegance and functionality, providing intuitive access to settings and source information.

A Beautiful Display

Many systems today rely entirely on smartphones to provide information on settings and source, but the R810’s high-resolution display brings everything you need right in front of you. With a portrait orientation, the display emulates how we view music apps on our phones, offering familiarity and ease of use. The adjustable brightness settings ensure that the display is just right for any environment, whether active or in standby mode. Combined with the tactile RotoDial controller, navigating your music and settings becomes second nature. The R810 doesn’t just sound extraordinary; it looks the part too, integrating seamlessly into your space.

Performance

Ruark Audio’s commitment to exceptional sound is evident in every aspect of the R810. The system’s five-channel Class A-B discrete amplifier drives each speaker independently, delivering a dynamic soundscape with stunning clarity and depth. From crisp highs to resonant lows, the R810 reproduces music with an effortless grace that fills your space with exquisite sound.

The adaptive EQ and Stereo+ enhancement ensure ideal sound quality at any volume, while the multi-room functionality allows you to synchronize playback across compatible devices for a seamless listening experience throughout your home. Whether streaming from a high-resolution service, spinning a favorite vinyl record, or enhancing your TV’s audio with HDMI ARC/eARC, the R810 delivers music as it was meant to be heard.
