Ruark Audio R2 Streaming Audio System DAB+ Radio, Spotify, Bluetooth, USB in Soft Black Lacquer (R2XSB)

SPOTIFY CONNECT BUILT IN

R2 has Spotify the world’s leading music streaming service built in and with a Spotify Premium account you can select R2 as your playback device and then control the music using R2’s RotoDial, remote control or via our UNDOK control app. With a vast library of over 20 million tracks, Spotify Premium and R2 will allow you to discover new music and enjoy old favourites with R2’s award winning sound.

WORLD RADIO

For local and national broadcasts R2’s DAB and FM tuner provides excellent performance and with DAB+ technology also built in, R2 can be used in countries where this updated format is now being used. DAB+ also ensures that R2 is ready for the implementation of this radio technology in the UK, which is now being used for new station releases. For international broadcasts, R2’s Internet tuner allows you to access stations and podcasts world-wide, so whether you’re into classical, rock or jazz, with R2’s search capability you will quickly find stations to suit your needs.

SYNCHRONISED SOUND

Alone R2 is a superb music system, but with its 'multi-room' capabilities it's easy to wirelessly link and sync with our other internet enabled models such as MRx, R5 and R7 Mk3 to provide synchronised sound wherever you want it. Linking and syncing with other units means that you can tailor the sound level around your home, just how you want, so whether you want to relax or party, with R2 you can do all this and more.

VIVID CLARITY

Programme, time and alarm status are shown with vivid clarity on R2’s Organic LED (OLED) display. The display retains its high contrast at any viewing angle and the display brightness can be adjusted to suit your requirements, when active and also in standby.

HIGH QUALITY BLUETOOTH

R2 has high performance aptX Bluetooth built in so you can directly stream from compatible devices to R2 with CD quality sound. An increasing number of Smartphone’s and other devices have aptX technology built in, but with or without, sound quality over Bluetooth with R2 is remarkable.

CONNECT, PLAYBACK AND CHARGE

Alongside wireless connectivity, R2 also has great direct connectivity featuring two switchable line inputs, a headphone output and a multi-purpose USB socket so you can conveniently charge your smartphone or playback music loaded onto a memory stick/portable hard drive in a variety of audio codec’s including WAV, WMA, AAC, FLAC and MP3.

BEDROOM COMPANION

Any bedroom looks and sounds better with R2 and with comprehensive programmable dual alarms you’ll be roused from your slumbers with beautiful sound exactly when you want from your desired radio station or Spotify playlist. R2 also features adjustable sleep and snooze timers so you can doze off and snooze in a similar fashion.

ELEGANT CONTROL SOLUTION

Products covered in buttons look confusing and lack sophistication so our trademark RotoDial controller sited atop R2 provides a refreshingly elegant solution. Our RotoDial controller also ensures whichever Ruark model you own you will intuitively know how to operate each one due to their similarity of control and operation.

WIRELESS MUSIC ACCESS

R2 allows you to wirelessly access music stored on computers and NAS drives connected to your home network. This makes R2 ideal if you like to download music or record and store your CDs on one central device. It supports a variety of popular audio codec’s including WAV, WMA, AAC, FLAC and MP3. Please note that audio streaming over a network requires a NAS drive or PC/Mac running DLNA certified software with sharing enabled.

SELECT MATERIALS

R2 is carefully crafted from select materials which we know from our experience designing High-Fidelity loudspeakers, provide the best sound quality. The combination of natural and man-made materials also have the added benefit of making our products feel as good to touch as they are to see and hear.

FULL REMOTE CONTROL

Included with R2 is a compact remote, but for full wireless control we also have our own app available called UNDOK which you can download for free from the iOS and Android stores. With R2 connected to your wireless network and Link you will have full control of R2 and will also be able to see what’s playing on the screen of your smart device, all from the comfort of your chair or anywhere within range of your wireless network.
