Verdict: "From its elevated design to the broad spread of music-playing options available, the Ruark R1S is a long way removed from the humble radio of its origins. Appealing aesthetics and versatility aside, the sound quality is so sophisticated, nuanced and precise – it’s a level of quality we’re surprised to hear from a product of this size and price. If you’re after a talented do-it-all internet radio that has modern streaming talents, this is one you should consider."

Radio Amplified

Radio is thriving, with recent polls showing that for many, radio is still their favourite entertainment during the day. R1S takes this timeless medium to a new level, but with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth also built in, R1S is more than just a radio, but more so a complete music system that’s small enough to fit easily into your home, but capable enough to provide day long entertainment.

Beautiful From Every Angle

Following the new design language set by our R1 Mk4, R1S grabs attention with its flawless look and sound. With its tactile curves, exclusive Mid Grey finish and composite wood hand-crafted grille, R1S exudes fresh contemporary design. The grille material is created from sustainable woods, which are carefully spliced, coloured, and recomposed to closely mimic the rich tones of slow growing hardwoods, without the ecological impact. The cabinet and grille blend perfectly with the trademark RotoDial controller and new colour display, to create a feel that encapsulates the technical capabilities of R1S.
