RUARK AUDIO R1S. Active speakerphone with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

The resurgence of radio is undeniable, and recent surveys confirm that for many, radio remains their preferred form of daytime entertainment. R1S takes this timeless medium to new heights, incorporating Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, transforming it into a complete music system that is compact and versatile, capable of providing uninterrupted entertainment throughout the day.

This innovative device is aesthetically appealing from every angle. Following the new design language established by our R1 Mk4, the R1S stands out for its impeccable design. Its tactile curves, unique Medium Grey finish and handcrafted composite wood grille make the R1S emanate an undeniable freshness and contemporaneity. The grille is crafted from sustainable woods, which are painstakingly assembled, stained and reassembled to faithfully mimic the rich tones of slow-grown timbers, leaving no negative ecological impact. The enclosure and grille integrate seamlessly with the iconic RotoDial controller and new colour display, creating an experience that captures the technical capabilities of the R1S.

The R1S is not just a radio, but a powerful entertainment system. In addition to its exceptional, natural sound quality, it boasts remarkable features:

Sound quality is not compromised, as the R1S is powered by a powerful dynamic linear amplifier and an advanced NS+ speaker, providing amazing bass performance and customisable bass and treble settings.
