Taking over three years to develop, R7 is the realisation of Ruarks dream to reinvent the revered radiograms of yesteryear but with style and technology that brings the radiogram ideology completely up to date.
With stunning design and amazing audio quality, it’s a revolutionary music centre in the true spirit of the classic radiogram, which we guarantee will reignite your passion for music and radio. Based on Ruark trademark design cues which make our products unique, with R7 Ruark have created an object which will enhance your life and home!
In a recent article the Telegraph Magazine said “the R7 doesn’t blend into the furniture: you’d happily design your entire living room around it”! This is exactly the response we were hoping for, but for us this is only the beginning, as the true splendour of R7 is revealed in its majestic sound that will have you rediscovering the joys of radio and your music collection all over again.
To create R7’s wonderful sound Ruark have used the skills from their long audio heritage. As an example, the fine furniture grade cabinet has been carefully tuned and optimised to provide a solid low colouration housing for our drive units and electronics.
The R7 front panel crafted from aluminium and glass, is the heart of R7. With DAB/DAB+/FM and internet tuners, R7 is capable of receiving radio stations globally. A slick slot loading CD, plays both standard and MP3 disks and for customers wishing to stream music, R7 also features Bluetooth and DLNA Wi-Fi.
For such a beautiful piece of equipment Ruark felt it was important to provide a readout display of equal quality. Cool and stylish, theultra black high contrast fluorescent display makes reading source information clearly legible, even from afar.
The R7 radio link RotoDial remote control R7 features our new radio link RotoDial remote control which allows all sources and functions to be accessed with ease. With RF communication, this new remote does not need to be aimed during operation and so can operate R7 whilst sited on a table or even from an adjoining room. Also for convenience Ruark have provided discrete buttons on the front panel of R7, so if the remote is not to hand, then R7 can still be operated and controlled.
The optional R7 AV Mount R7 is perfect as the central sound source for all your audiovisual needs. With switchable analogue and digital inputs, a TV and DVD player can be easily connected, for a sound that will make your viewing all the more enjoyable. Designed exclusively for R7, The optional AV mount allows TVs and associated equipment to be integrated with R7 so they seemingly ‘float’ above and below its cabinet, keeping R7’s elegant design intact.
Switchable analogue and digital inputs - On the rear panel they have included a USB charge port which will charge your Smartphone or Tablet whether R7 is in active or standby mode. This feature is particularly useful to maintain the charge of such devices when streaming to R7 as battery life can quickly deplete when using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi over extended periods. aptX audio coding technology R7 features aptX® audio coding technology that partners with Bluetooth® so compatible devices can stream to R7 with audio quality virtually indistinguishable from a wired connection. An increasing number of computers and handheld devices are now loaded with aptX® as standard, but with or without, sound quality over Bluetooth with R7 is impressive.
