Ruark R3S – Special
The Ruark R3S version was released in 2023 as an evolution of the R3 version. Externally, the compact design of the handcrafted cabinet, the high-contrast O-LED display, as well as the Soft Gray Lacquer and Real Walnut veneer finishes remained unchanged .
However, internally, the R3S version has undergone significant improvements to increase system performance and connectivity: it features a new, more powerful processor and updated circuitry to achieve even clearer sonic performance. The high-fidelity dynamic amplifier is combined with Ruark's custom NS+ drivers, while STEREO+ sound processing technology has been added to the R3S version to create an ever wider and more realistic soundstage. In summary, the R3S version has been designed to offer superior audio performance compared to the R3 version.
Only the Design is compact in Ruark R3S
The proportions carefully designed by the engineers for Ruark R3S create a strong appearance while the support structure, slightly inclined upwards, also acoustically studied, allows excellent diffusion of audio. Even Camira's British melange woven grille does not interfere in the slightest with the sound result, while embellishing the system aesthetically.
The same obsessive care that the English brand places in the look of its products reflects the careful planning in assembling the various components. Inside Ruark R3S there is a 30W two-channel class AB HiFi amplifier. Ruark R3S is an extraordinary all-in-one system created to satisfy even the most demanding listener.
Using Ruark's algorithms and the latest in digital sound processing, and the two downfiring bass reflexes the Ruark R3S is able to reproduce a truly complete sound with an even more detailed, larger and realistic soundstage via the two NS+ speaker units 7.5 cm.
With Ruark R3S you can play any song wirelessly from the most important music streaming services such as Spotify, Amazon Music and Deezer via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection.
In addition to the integrated CD player, the analogue and digital inputs also make it an excellent solution as audio/video integration for connecting the TV, Alexa Echo Dot or Google Home Mini.
On the top of the unit is Ruark's RotoDial controller, with which the listener can play, pause, change sources or navigate through menus. However, a solid remote is also supplied to control everything comfortably from the sofa.
Multi format CD player
Music streaming services are now essential, but with Ruark R3S it is also possible to continue listening to our beloved CD collection again and again thanks to its multi-format CD player.
In fact, in addition to standard CompactDiscs, R3S also plays WAV and MP3 formats, displaying all track and artist information on the display.
Naturally, playback can be controlled from the convenient remote control and the buttons on the RotoDial.
Subscriptions are great but do you want the allure of the CD that pops into its slot and starts playing?
Smart Radio, Streaming
With such a vast choice of stations, the radio is still one of the best ways to listen to music. The R3S SmartRadio tuner was designed to make the listening experience even better. DAB/DAB+ and FM tuners offer quick access to local and national broadcasts but it is thanks to Internet Radio that the Ruark R3S allows access to radio stations from all over the world!
With R3S it will be the order of the day to discover new stations, listen to favorites again and, for those who live abroad, listen to "home" broadcasts.
