British audio brand Ruark builds upon the company’s human-first approach to technology with the release of its R3 all-in-one music system.

The elegant R3 system aims to help people enjoy their music systems and combines an upscale design with a versatile and playful form factor, topped off by a sublime sound that belies its compact stature.

Users can stream songs from their favourite music services such as Spotify Connect, TIDAL, Amazon Music and Deezer over WiFi 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.

The R3 can also be part of a 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 Ruark’s NS+ loudspeaker units and features 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.

It comes in rich walnut or soft grey lacquer finishes and it will be available from August 2020 through a select dealer network, including Australian distributor Synergy Audio.
