R1S grabs attention with its flawless look and sound. With 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.
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.
With Wi-Fi and Bluetooth streaming also built in the appeal of R1S is further enhanced. R1S directly supports Spotify Connect*, Amazon Music and Deezer and with its Bluetooth 5 receiver virtually every other service available. The Bluetooth function remembers up to six devices and provides excellent sound quality and efficiency, meaning minimal battery drain on battery powered devices.

Best radio ever !!!
I bought the R1S as a replacement for my old Bose wave as I wanted DAB and internet radio , after much searching I found Ruark Audio and after reading up about the product and family run business based in Essex I decided to order one . Best decision I’ve made for a radio .. 5 minutes setup and I had all my favourite genres in one place instead of my phone .. blue tooth my tunes straight to the R1S , Fantastic looks and sound , anyone that asks about it are always impressed that it’s British made and Essex based . Also multi award winners always goes down well .

Great little radios with a big sound
I now have my third and final R1S. This charcoal one complements my grey and cream ones. The sound belies their size, they really have to be heard to be believed.

Outstanding product - great sound, great functiona
This sound system is more than just a radio - great flexibility ro connect o stations via DAB, FM,, Internet as well as Spotify, amazon deezer and bluetooth - allows for a very reliable signal no matter where we are (we use it on a narrow boat). Sound quality is excellent - full of body - no distortion and plenty of bass. Setup was straightforward and the controls are largely intuitive. I have already recommended this to friends, and will continue to do so.

Internet radio without a computer!
So glad I bought the version with WiFi. For some reason I can't get a DAB signal at home, but this is perfect. Radio from all over the world controlled by my smartphone! I'm over 70 but mastered the operation instructions in 5 mins. Perfect

Ruark 5,3 and 1
Started with the R5 to complement my deck which it does admirably. So pleased I got a R3 for my kitchen. Again more than pleased. Recently got the R1S for my lounge. Again very happy. Can't fault Ruark for quality and looks. Would and do recommend Ruark to anyone who will listen. Thank you Ruark

Suberb radio!!
This has been a great purchase. I wanted a radio for my kitchen so I could listen to Spotify and Internet radio. I have also availed of the many podcasts on this radio. Sound is excellent and set up was a breeze. Also has a classic retro look about it. Go get one, you will not be disappointed.

Sound is fantastic for such a dinky set
This is a brilliant little radio. Sounds like a much bigger set. Have an old ‘vita’ system from years ago which is still as good as new. Brother has 2 Ruarks and my sister has one too. They are streaks ahead of other similar systems, I’ve had a Robert’s system and a Pure evoke- both gave up the ghost within 5 years( electrics) advised that it happens….. not with my Vita/ ruark nor any of the other family’s ones. We’re all converts.! Wouldn’t buy any other system- you get what you pay for and they’re worth every penny. Love that it’s a home brand too.

R1S radio
Bought our R1S smart radio 3 weeks ago. So pleased we made right choice. Excellent sound, it sits in our extended kitchen and is on all day. Radio 2 on early morning then through Bluetooth play all our downloaded albums and also via Apple Music. Such a beautiful radio. We also have a R3S Compact Music System in the lounge. Excellent systems. So pleased with our purchases, well done Ruark

Good sound from a compact enclosure.
A recent trip to Cornwall where our DAB travel radio couldn't pick up much at all spawned an interest in internet radio, resulting in me changing my R1 Mk4 at home to an R1S. I now have 2 R1S radios (the cream and the grey), and have my eye on this page for a graded charcoal one, to complete the trio. I leave them on for my pets when I am away from home (perhaps slight overkill, but my love of all things hi-fi stops me buying anything cheap and nasty). Can't fault the sound. For such a modest enclosure it really has a "big" sound. The only thing that stops it being perfect in my eyes would be the proviso of an on/off timer facility so that I could set switch on and off times. I know it has a sleep timer but that does not offer the same functionality. My only other gripe is the remote should come bundled with the radio at this end of the price scale. Having said that, control via the UNDOK app (it's the predecessor to OKTIV but I find the older one easier to navigate) means you can also control the radio volume and presets from your smart phone. Although it lacks the bright OLED display of the R1 Mk4, the R1S compensates by having a colour display on this model.
