R1S -Smart Wi-Fi Radio

The Ruark Audio R1S is the most advanced evolution of Ruark’s iconic tabletop radio series, combining classic radio functionality with modern wireless streaming technologies and refined British industrial design. Designed and engineered in the United Kingdom, the R1S transforms the traditional bedside or desktop radio into a sophisticated all-in-one smart audio system capable of delivering exceptional sound quality and modern connectivity.

At the core of the R1S is Ruark’s custom NS+ full-range neodymium driver powered by a high-quality 9-watt Class A/B amplifier. Despite its compact dimensions, the R1S produces a surprisingly rich and detailed sound with impressive bass weight, natural vocals, and excellent clarity. Ruark’s acoustically tuned and damped enclosure minimizes cabinet resonance while enhancing musical realism and tonal balance.

The R1S offers extensive listening flexibility through multiple radio sources including Internet Radio, DAB/DAB+, and traditional FM tuners. Through Wi-Fi connectivity, users gain access to thousands of radio stations and podcasts worldwide along with integrated support for Spotify Connect, Amazon Music, and Deezer streaming services.

Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity allows wireless streaming directly from smartphones, tablets, and computers with improved efficiency and sound quality over previous Bluetooth generations. USB-C playback and charging functionality further expand the R1S’s versatility while maintaining a clean minimalist design.

The elegant cabinet features premium finishes with handcrafted detailing, an acoustically damped polymer enclosure, and Ruark’s signature RotoDial control system. A high-resolution auto-dimming color TFT display provides intuitive navigation and excellent readability while dual alarms, sleep timer functions, and multiple preset memory banks make the R1S ideal for everyday use.

The R1S has earned widespread praise from reviewers and audio publications. What Hi-Fi? named it one of the best internet radios available thanks to its refined sound, excellent connectivity, premium build quality, and beautifully balanced presentation.

Compact, elegant, and remarkably capable, the Ruark Audio R1S delivers true premium smart radio performance with audiophile-inspired sound quality and timeless British design.
