Ruark R410

The R410 is an integrated hifi system from Ruark Audio, designed to centralise music listening in all its forms: streaming, digital radio, vinyl or television. It houses its own amplification stage and speakers, making it a self-contained solution that does not require separate speakers.

The Class D digital amplification delivers 120 W RMS, with the modules fitted directly to the rear of each mid-bass driver in order to shorten the signal path. The pair of 10 cm long-throw mid-bass drivers is paired with 20 mm silk dome tweeters, for a reproduction covering a frequency response of 35 Hz to 22 kHz. The built-in digital-to-analogue converter handles streams up to 32-bit / 192 kHz, while the Bluetooth 5.1 connection supports the aptX HD, AAC and SBC codecs, as well as BLE and A2DP.

On the connectivity side, the R410 includes Wi-Fi for multiroom streaming via Apple AirPlay and Google Cast, compatibility with Google Chromecast, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect and DLNA, in addition to DAB/DAB+/FM and internet radio. Those who favour physical sources have access to a RIAA phono input for a turntable, an HDMI eARC input for television sound, as well as an optical input, a USB-C port, an RCA line output, a subwoofer output and an Ethernet port.

This system is aimed at those who want a single central hub for all their music, whether from streaming, radio or a turntable, without multiplying separate devices or complex wiring.
