Designed to Perform
R610 Music Console delivers aesthetic appeal seldom seen among hi-fi components and this same devotion to detail is matched within. Powering R610 is a modern switch mode power supply, providing optimised powerlines to the system’s motherboard and latest generation digital amplifiers. With Burr-Brown DACs and audio grade components used throughout and a nominal output of 75 watts per channel, R610 is controlled and dynamic – but most importantly, it delivers a delightfully natural sound that makes music thoroughly enjoyable.
You’re in Control
Our RotoDial controller has been a distinctive part of our products since 2006. For 100 Series we have refined its design further and with tactile soft touch buttons and a precisely weighted control dial, it makes operating R610 a delight. Enhancing the operating experience is the crisp 5" TFT display which confirms every command, as well as showing album and station artwork in perfect clarity. Also included is a matching rechargeable remote. Bluetooth connectivity means that aiming is not required, so you can relax and fully control R610 from afar.
Divine Connection
The R610 streaming amplifier provides all the connectivity you are ever likely to need, and with a powerful processor it is capable of handling the highest quality audio streams. With Internet Radio, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, Apple AirPlay and Google Cast all built in, a vast selection of music awaits to be discovered.
R610 also makes it easy to rediscover treasured physical music formats. A quality phono stage makes it simple to connect a turntable, while for CD playback we will soon be unveiling our own Compact Disc Player called R-CD100. This will integrate and connect with R610 and our other 100 Series models via the USB socket on the rear. Last but not least, R610’s HDMI ARC/eARC connection provides a great sound solution for those seeking a system that also elevates TV and film enjoyment to a new level.

Sabre Heritage
For over 40 years our ethos has always been to design products that we ourselves would be proud to own. It was our founders shared passion for sound that led son Alan, and father Brian O’Rourke to form Ruark Acoustics and launch their first loudspeaker called Sabre to great acclaim in 1985. Our latest Sabre-R speakers bring us full circle to continue this mission, with a speaker that like our original, customers will enjoy for many years to come.
Made to Be Seen
In true Ruark style, our attention to detail is paramount and the Sabre-R Bookshelf Speakers are as pleasing to the eye as they are to the ear. Hand-crafted and clad with finishes usually only found on fine furniture, the Sabre-Rs bring understated elegance to both classic and contemporary interiors. The veneers used also have true eco credentials, where sustainable woods are skillfully spliced and recomposed to resemble slow-growing hardwoods with unique and eye-catching grain patterns.
Designed for Sound
Creating a great sounding speaker is an art that can only be mastered through years of experience. Like a chef who can make your taste buds dance, the key is knowing the ingredients to use and how to best use them. The cabinets for Sabre-R have been carefully tuned and optimised to provide ideal working conditions for our custom long-throw bass-mid drivers and endless hours have been spent fine tuning the crossovers, so a seamless transition between the drivers is attained. The end result are speakers with a remarkable musical performance that breathe zest and life into every song.
