The Stereo Music Centres of the 1970s started the hi-fi revolution and our new R610 Music Console brings this highly popular concept back and completely up to date. With comprehensive connection and streaming capabilities, R610 has been designed and crafted for sound, to get people back to the joy of music.
 
Apple AirPlay and Google Cast
Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect and Qobuz Connect built-in
Apple Music, BBC Sounds, Deezer and more
Hi-Res music file support up to 32-bit 192kHz

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
R610 provides all the connectivity you are ever likely to need, and with its powerful CPU it can process the highest quality audio streams. With Internet Radio, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, Apple AirPlay and Google Cast all built in, a world 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 have our own compact disc player called R-CD100 which integrates seamlessly with R610 via the USB-C connector 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.
 
Also included with R610 are a pair of premium quality speaker cables, so you have everything you need to connect and to start enjoying sound as it should be.
