The Ruark R810 MiE is a limited-edition version of Ruark’s R810 radiogram, produced as part of the brand’s Made in England series. The model is manufactured in small numbers, with each unit assembled and finished by hand in England. The design centers on a wooden cabinet crafted using traditional marquetry techniques, with veneers carefully cut and arranged to form graphic surface patterns. Two finishes are offered, each created using natural wood veneers that vary slightly from unit to unit.
The radiogram combines integrated wireless audio playback with a self-contained speaker system housed within the furniture-style enclosure. The R810 MiE supports multiple streaming formats and wired inputs, allowing it to function as a central audio unit for home listening. Controls are integrated into the body of the unit, maintaining a clean exterior profile.
