Next Generation of Roon Control

The successor to the Nuimo — reimagined, refined, and ready for your best listening room.

You loved the Nuimo for what it was: a beautifully tactile knob that put your music within reach of a single, satisfying turn. rooOrbital keeps everything you cherished — and gives it a stage worthy of your system.

A display that brings your music to life

At the heart of rooOrbital is a crisp, vibrant round display that puts your cover art front and center. The album you're playing isn't hidden in an app or buried on a screen across the room — it's right there on your desk, your shelf, your listening chair's side table, glowing like a tiny gallery piece. Every track change is a little moment of beauty.

Haptics you'll want to keep turning

Nuimo set the bar for feel. rooOrbital raises it. Every rotation answers back with precise, weighted haptic feedback — that reassuring, mechanical sense of control that makes adjusting the volume or skipping a track feel less like using a gadget and more like playing an instrument. It's the kind of quality you notice the first time you touch it, and appreciate every time after.

Built like the equipment it belongs beside

Your gear is serious. So is this. rooOrbital is housed in a solid CNC-machined metal case — cool to the touch, reassuringly heavy, and finished to sit proudly next to the finest components in your rack. No plastic, no compromise. Just a piece of hardware that looks and feels like it was made to last.

Set up in minutes — no manual required

Great sound shouldn't come with a headache. rooOrbital connects over Wi-Fi with a simple, guided setup — no cables to route, no technical know-how needed. Power it on, follow a few easy steps, and you're in control of your music. It really is that straightforward.

Make it yours

Your system reflects your taste — your controller should too. rooOrbital is fully customizable, so you can tailor how it looks and behaves to match the way you listen. Set it up once, and it feels like it was made just for you.
