Ruark Audio R3 Compact Wireless Music System

Description

R3

Ruark believes everyone deserves good design in their lives. The smart, elegant R3 system helps people enjoy life that little bit more.

R3 combines a dapper, upscale design with a versatile and playful form factor, topped off by a sublime sound that belies its compact stature. It is also hugely flexible, empowering users to do more than they thought possible with such a system.

The combination of tactile and luxurious materials exudes quality and premium craftsmanship, from the curvaceous form of the hand-crafted cabinet to the coolness of the glass display, the warmth of the woven fabric grille to their trademark RotoDial controller.

With its carefully considered proportions creating a purposeful look and the cantilevered legs subtly angling R3 upwards, this system is ready to perform.

This superbly versatile and compact one-box wonder offers comprehensive listening options for every music fan. Stream songs from your favourite music services such as Spotify Connect, TIDAL, Amazon Music and Deezer over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth aptX, access its Smart Radio functionality to tune into internet, DAB/DAB+ or FM stations, or spin a CD using the onboard player.

R3 can also be part of your TV and Smart Home set-up, with switchable analogue and digital inputs so devices such as a TV, Alexa Echo Dot or Google Home Mini can be easily connected.

Built around more than three decades of high-end audio expertise and pedigree, the compact R3 delivers a dynamic performance akin to larger system with separate speakers. The cabinet has been carefully tuned to provide the ideal housing for our NS+ loudspeaker units. Featuring a low-reflection air-flowed chassis, powerful neodymium magnet system and lightweight cone assembly, these drivers provide a full-range performance that belies their size.

Driving the system is a high-fidelity two-channel Class A-B amplifier, and with Ruark Audio’s own algorithms and the latest digital sound processing, they have been able to finely control the sound at every level to provide detail and a realistic sound stage that exceeds R3’s compact profile.
