Description

A Slim, Elegant Profile

R2 Mk4 brings one of our longest-established models right up to date, while retaining key elements that made our original R2 a popular choice, upon its launch in 2007. The most obvious change from its predecessors is its slimmer footprint. These elegant proportions allow R2 to be placed easily around the home and make it perfect for a windowsill or bookcase.

The appearance of R2 is simple yet stunning. The enclosure, with precise lines and soft contours, combines with the hand crafted slatted wood grille to create a timeless retro-modern feel. Along with its bonded TFT on glass display and our trademark RotoDial controller, R2 is undoubtedly a Ruark design and the quality remains clear.

A Complete System

A complete compact music system, R2 is equipped with DAB/DAB+, FM and internet tuners with pre-sets, and directly supports major streaming services including Spotify*, Amazon Music and Deezer, and with a quality Bluetooth receiver every other streaming service available. The Bluetooth source also seamlessly integrates with the volume function on phones and tablets, so can easily be adjusted as required. R2 also features a USB-C charge and playback port, switchable auxiliary line input and headphone output. Remote control is available through the free Oktiv app, or a compact IR handset is available as an optional extra.

*R2 will also support Spotify Hi-Fi when made available

Full of Useful Features

Our colour TFT graphic display clearly shows time, alarm and programme information and with internet based sources you can choose between text display or station and album artwork by pressing the volume control. The display intensity can also be set as you want it and auto-adjusts to suit ambient light levels. With two comprehensive alarms and a sleep timer, R2 also makes a great bedside companion.

Like all Ruark products, the R2 incorporates carefully selected technologies to deliver wonderfully clear and effortless sound. The linear amplifier linked with our NS+ drivers and adaptive equalisation provides the perfect sound balance for enjoying music and spoken-word at all volume levels, making R2 an essential way to relax and unwind in today’s often manic world.

Control at Your Fingertips

Our optional compact remote is a convenient addition to R2 and with four direct pre-set buttons you can quickly access your favourite stations and playlists. Also available is a free to download Android and iOS app called Oktiv. This also allows full control of R2 Mk4 and is particularly useful for searching radio stations and podcasts.
