With exquisite attention to detail and a modern take on seventies styling, R410 is a product that is 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 design is the material that we’ve selected for the grille and enclosure. Formed from sustainable woods that are expertly spliced and recomposed, the resulting material closely resembles slow-growing hardwoods, but with true conservation credentials.
Four decades of audio experience means we understand the complexities and interaction of cabinet, electronic and loudspeaker design in creating exceptional sound.
In R410 we’ve carefully optimised the enclosure to house our new NS+ bass-mid woofers and combined with the tweeters from our multi-award-winning MR1s, the result is effortless sound that belies R410’s size. Together with the latest digital amplification, audiophile-grade components, and the best audio processing technologies, R410 creates a magical performance, which will have you discovering again your favourite artists and sounds.
Capable of supporting the best quality audio streams and with Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect and Qobuz Connect built-in, with R410 you can be sure that you are hearing the music, just as the artist intended.
R410s Internet tuner provides swift access to an amazing choice of stations worldwide, so for radio lovers you'll hear details that were always there, just never this clear.
Streaming is just one way the R410 shines. Play LPs by connecting a turntable to the dedicated phono inputs, or enjoy your CD collection by hooking up our matching R-CD100 CD player. Also, with its HDMI ARC/eARC input, you can connect most modern TVs and enjoy the expansive sound that R410 will bring to your viewing experience.

With Apple AirPlay and Google Cast built-in you can stream music from a host of streaming apps such as BBC Sounds and Apple Music in better than CD quality sound. And when you link R410 with other AirPlay and Google Cast speakers, including our R610 and R810 models, you can create a versatile multiroom system, so your music will flow with you from room to room without missing a beat.
At the heart of Ruark products since 2006, for 100 Series we’ve completely reimagined our RotoDial control system. Beautiful to look at and intuitive to operate, it is something you'll genuinely love using every day.
The included rechargeable Bluetooth remote means no more aiming required. Every touch is natural and responsive, because we believe controlling your music should be as pleasurable as listening to it.
R410’s high-resolution display redefines how you experience album artwork, revealing every brushstroke and nuance as you stream. It’s like rediscovering your record collection, infused with the excitement of endless exploration.
Orientated like your smartphone, the display feels instantly familiar. This is where nostalgia meets innovation, where the act of selecting music finds its place in the digital age. Our advanced processor ensures silk-smooth interactions that make browsing less like navigation and more like exploration.
‘…R410 has been designed for streaming and making the most of the amazing music and radio services available online’
Technology journalist and former editor for What Hi-Fi, Simon Lucas, unboxes our R410 and takes you through some of the basic functions and features of this integrated music system.
Our 100 Series products have been designed for streaming, but for those who also desire the tactile pleasure of playing CDs and browsing album notes, then our custom R-CD100 CD Player offers the perfect solution.
AirPlay is Apple’s proprietary wireless streaming technology, enabling high-resolution audio to be sent over Wi-Fi from iOS apps such as Apple Music, Deezer, BBC Sounds and TuneIn Radio directly to all our 100 Series products.
Google Cast is Google’s wireless streaming technology. While primarily associated with Android devices, it is also supported by many iOS apps.
Using Google Cast, you can stream music directly over Wi-Fi to any of our 100 Series products from apps such as Amazon Music and BBC Sounds, with high-resolution audio quality.
Google Cast also supports voice control when used with a Google Nest Hub or compatible smart speaker. Initial setup requires the Google Home app, but once configured, you can simply say, “Hey Google, play BBC Radio 3 on my R410” etc, and playback will begin accordingly.
Spotify Connect is one of the world’s most popular music streaming platforms, allowing you to stream music over Wi-Fi directly to any of our 100 Series products. Unlike Bluetooth, it does not drain your device’s battery, because playback is delivered directly from Spotify’s cloud to your 100 Series product rather than through your smartphone or tablet. This means you can take calls, send messages or even switch off your device completely without interrupting playback.
With most of its music content in a high-resolution format, Tidal Connect has become popular with Wi-Fi enthusiasts worldwide. Unlike Bluetooth, it does not drain your device battery power, because the TIDAL Connect service pushes music directly from the TIDAL cloud to 100 Series products rather than playing through the device. This means that you can take calls and messages without interruption or even switch off your device completely.
Apple Music is Apple’s own music streaming service, giving subscribers access to over 100 million songs. Using built-in Apple AirPlay, you can stream wirelessly from Apple Music directly to any of our 100 Series products.
If you are an Amazon Music user, you can browse music/playlists and control playback directly from within the Amazon Music app to any of our 100 Series models using either Apple AirPlay or Google Cast.
BBC Sounds is a great app that puts everything BBC radio-related into one easy-to-use application. Compatible with both AirPlay and Google Cast means that you can browse and control playback directly from within the BBC Sounds app and push your selection directly to any of our 100 Series products with high-resolution sound.
Deezer users can browse music/playlists and control playback directly from within the Deezer application to any of our 100 Series models using either Apple AirPlay or Google Cast with best quality sound guaranteed.
Qobuz Connect is a relatively new music streaming service and like Tidal, it is building its reputation on offering the best quality audio streams along with an exciting and eclectic choice of music. Unlike Bluetooth, it does not drain your device battery power, because the Qobuz Connect technology pushes music directly from the Qobuz cloud to 100 Series products rather than playing through the device. This means that you can take calls and messages without interruption or even switch off your device completely.
The choice of Internet radio stations is vast and, in general, sound quality is superior to that of DAB or FM. Have fun browsing national and international stations and save your favourites as presets for easy access using 100 Series’ intuitive RotoDial controllers. Up to 20 stations can be stored for quick recall.
Internet radio is rapidly becoming the popular choice for radio listening, as it’s a format that works worldwide and an aerial is generally not required. DAB/DAB+ radio offers a greater selection of stations than FM and does not require an internet connection, but in general is only used across Europe and Australasia.
FM is still a great way to listen to radio as it exhibits a natural analogue warmth that is missing in low-bitrate DAB radio. In particular, it works well with spoken word and classical music, but a professionally installed external aerial is highly recommended for optimum reception and sound.
With a high-quality aptX HD Bluetooth receiver built-in, it means you can directly stream high-definition sound from your smartphone or computer to any of our 100 Series models without the need of a Wi-Fi connection. All our 100 Series models remember up to eight previously connected devices, making it easy to switch as required. Ideal in a busy family environment.
Our 100 Series models are 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz compatible so they will wirelessly connect and communicate with all dual-band Wi-Fi routers.
The Ethernet connection on our 100 Series models allows a direct link to your home network by connecting an Ethernet cable from the product to your router. A wired connection delivers optimum performance and avoids potential Wi-Fi signal issues around the home. If a direct cable run is impractical, Ethernet powerline adaptors can also be an effective solution, particularly in areas where the Wi-Fi signal is weak.
With their HDMI ARC/eARC input, all our 100 Series products make superb sound systems for TVs and a complete solution for your home entertainment needs. ARC/eARC connection also means you can use your TV remote to adjust volume whilst viewing as well as turn on and off.
The switchable optical input on our 100 Series models allows you to easily connect external streaming devices or TVs that do not have HDMI ARC connection.
All our 100 Series models feature two sets of switchable RCA inputs.
The phono-in is a dedicated turntable input with a high-quality RIAA phono stage built-in, allowing turntables with a moving magnet cartridge to be directly connected without the need for a separate preamplifier.
The line-in input allows you to connect a variety of other auxiliary devices with line-level outputs, such as a standard CD player or gaming console.
R410, R610 and R710 all feature a dedicated subwoofer output, so if you want extra bass output, then an active subwoofer can be easily connected. Our own RS1 Subwoofer is an ideal option.
For CD enthusiasts we have a dedicated compact disc player called R-CD100. This integrates and connects with our R410, R610 and R810 models via the USB socket on the rear. When connected, CD is automatically added to the list of sources and then using the RotoDial controller you can control playback just as you would a built-in player.
Using either Apple AirPlay or Google Cast, you can build an easy-to-manage multi-room system, linking our 100 Series models together or with other AirPlay and Google Cast compatible speakers.
Wireless updates allow us to deliver over-the-air improvements to our 100 Series models, whether to add new features or resolve reported issues, ensuring they always perform as intended.
The Media Servers source on all our 100 Series models means you can store downloaded music or ripped CDs on a shared PC, Mac or NAS drive to create your own home music library and then browse and playback using the Media Servers source.
Our 100 Series models are capable of supporting all the most popular audio file formats to the highest resolutions, providing true high-fidelity reproduction.
MP3 up to 48kHz 320kbps
AAC up to 96kHz 320kbps
FLAC, AIFF, ALAC and WAV up to 32-bit 192kHz
