To celebrate the launch of Ruark’s latest release the Ruark Audio Mk3 R7 Radiogram, we asked some of our fave people Why Music was Life and what that meant to them. As a singer and performer it’s ingrained in me, since I was a child my love of music has helped me through many a tough situation. Listening to music is good for you!
The Ruark Audio Mk3 R7 Radiogram’s refined sound system is a reflection of Ruark’s founder Alan O’Rourke’s desire to reinvent the revered radiogram of yesteryear, but with new-found style and technology.
Rodd Richards – DJ/Promoter
Music is literally my life its what I do for a living, both as a promoter and a DJ.
For 2018, the all-new version of R7 features honed aesthetics, improved analogue circuitry and latest digital technologies for streaming and multi-room. The R7 is a sound system that will satisfy even the most discerning listener and builds further on the success of the original.
Sandy Rivera [ Kings of Tomorrow ] – DJ/Producer
I’ve been touring the world for most of my life now, DJ’ing and producing music and without Music I wouldn’t be where I am today.
Ruark’s 30+ years heritage in high-fidelity audio has been used to create R7’s magnificent sound, from the meticulously tuned cabinet and drive units through to the custom electronics and high fidelity amplifiers and drive unit. The Ruark R7 Mk3 redefines the radiogram genre for a new generation.
Paulini – Singer/Actress
Ever since I was a little kid music has always being a part of my life, from singing at home with the family for our gatherings or singing at church. It became my career and I couldn’t imagine life without it.
Available in luxurious Rich Walnut and a new Soft Grey lacquer, the slimmer cabinet and legs add refinement, but undoubtedly it is the British milled grille fabric that adds real elegance to the design. R7 Mk3 no longer looks like a piece of audio equipment, but rather a beautiful object that will enhance the most stylish of rooms.
Arrnott Olssen – Vocalist/Blogger
Music is amazing in that it can create moods from making you feel happy when sad, or calm when stressed I love performing and seeing the crowd get into the music and enjoy themselves. I sing when I wake up and when I’m heading to bed, Music is not just my life it is Life.
