Building upon its success, the latest R1S model takes things up a notch by incorporating an extensive range of streaming music options, all while retaining its iconic built-in radio functionality.

Unparalleled Sound Performance

What sets the R1S apart from its competitors is its unrivaled sound quality. Despite offering an even wider selection of music streaming services, the R1S remains dedicated to delivering exceptional audio. Featuring Ruark's cutting-edge NaturalSound+ driver and a hi-fi grade Class A/B amplifier, this compact speaker produces an impressively smooth and natural sound. It fills smaller spaces with lifelike audio, while adjustable EQ settings allow you to customize the sound to your liking.

Seamless Music Streaming

For the first time ever, the R1S introduces Wi-Fi connectivity to the R1 series. Connect the speaker to your home network and gain access to an expansive array of streaming music services. With compatibility for popular platforms such as Spotify Connect (with a Premium account), Amazon Music, and Deezer, the R1S opens up a virtually limitless world of music. Additionally, if you enjoy exploring radio stations and podcasts from around the globe, the R1S offers Internet radio services and catch-up options.

SmartRadio Tuner – Enhanced with DAB

A true R1 experience wouldn't be complete without a built-in tuner. That's why the R1S is equipped with DAB+/DAB/FM tuners. DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) provides crystal-clear, high-quality digital sound and grants access to an extensive range of stations. And in case your favorite stations are not available in DAB, this Ruark radio also includes an FM tuner.

Next-Generation Bluetooth 5 Connectivity

In addition to Wi-Fi, the R1S seamlessly connects to your devices via Bluetooth. Effortlessly stream your stored music or access streaming services from your smartphone, tablet, or other Bluetooth-enabled sources. Bluetooth Gen 5 ensures improved efficiency and superior sound quality compared to earlier versions, serving as an excellent alternative to Wi-Fi when you're out of signal range or in need of a quick connection for a temporary device.

Versatile Connectivity Options

The R1S accommodates a range of external devices with its USB-C connection, allowing direct playback and charging from your HiRes player, smartphone, or MP3 player. It also features a 3.5mm AUX input, perfect for connecting a CD player or other music sources with analog output. Additionally, a headphone socket is provided for private listening.

Effortless Control with Rotodial

Located at the top of the R1S, Ruark's renowned control system, Rotodial, provides intuitive access to all functions. Seamlessly switch between different sources, adjust the volume, change tracks, and more with ease. Alternatively, take advantage of the new Oktive app for convenient smartphone control. An infrared remote control is available at an additional cost for added convenience.

Enhanced Full-Color Display with Clock and Alarm

Featuring a vibrant full-color TFT display, a prominent clock, and a built-in alarm, the R1S makes for an exquisite bedside system. The dual alarm can be easily programmed with a wide range of options, including one-time, daily, weekday, and weekend settings, as well as snooze and sleep timers. A built-in light sensor automatically adjusts the screen brightness, ensuring it remains unobtrusive as a bedside music system.

Luxurious Wood and Mid-Grey Finish

Renowned for its exquisite speaker finishes, Ruark has once again exceeded expectations with the R1S.
