R1S grabs attention with its flawless look and sound. With tactile curves, exclusive Satin Charcoal finish and Composite wood hand-crafted grille, R1S exudes fresh contemporary design. The grille material is created from woods, which are carefully spliced, coloured to closely mimic the rich tones of slow-growing hardwoods. The cabinet and grille blend perfectly with the trademark Roto Dial 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
A lovely radio the speaker is so good. On full treble speech is so clear, and deep bass is great

My review of the Ruark R1S
I bought the Ruark R1S last week. I'm only not giving it 5 stars because it doesn't have my streaming platform, which is TIDAL. Also, if it had an optical input, I could connect a streamer, have TIDAL and excellent sound quality.

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
