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.

Customers Say
The Ruark R1S radio impresses with excellent sound quality, compact design, and versatile features including DAB, FM, internet radio, and streaming. It offers intuitive controls but some find the app and preset management less user-friendly.

Great little power house
Gorgeous looking radio with every connection you need .... The sound from the little powerhouse is so crisp and detailed and rich I couldn't be happier.

Great sound
As per all the revues, this small radio delivers remarkable sound quality. It deserves all the plaudits from the reviewers. Great sound at a fair price.

Fantastic sound
I bought this for my son's birthday. He loves having a radio on and also enjoys podcasts. The sound coming from this little radio is unbelievably excellent. The quality and depth of sound is far, far superior to anything else vaguely comparable I have heard, and in fact it's superior to nearly every radio I've experienced in the sizes above. I am incredibly jealous and want one myself now, but that'll have to wait. If you're looking for a radio that takes up little space but will fill a big room with excellent sound then look no further.

Ruark R1S
My brilliant FM tuner on my hi-fi decided to stop working. I was advised to look into streaming radio. I looked at different options and decided on the Ruark R1S, one because it had dab and internet radio and two because Ruark repaired my original Vita Audio dab radio which I bought in 2010. The R1S is easy to use once you get used to the famous RotoDial. I have pre-set 8 internet radio stations, mostly jazz and 70s soul with some reggae thrown in. I use the R1S in my bedroom and it's awesome. Ruark R610 is on my wishlist.

Great sounding radio and small footprint
Easy to set up and sounds great, especially when you consider its small size. Spenken voics sound especially good on Internet Radio. Feels substantially well made - no cabinet resonances.

Excellent sound
Great sound from a small package, interface (app) a bit problematic

Brilliant sound
I bought this a few weeks ago, the sound it produces is brilliant from such a compact unit. Very easy to setup and use.
Haz 1, 65 or over, Donaghadee
Small but feature-rich
Surprisingly good sound quality for the size of the unit. Especially shines for talk shows, podcasts and such, but Spotify is equally enjoyable. Easy to setup with UNDOK app, but the control wheel itself can be a bit frustrating for the setup part (for example entering wifi password). Wish it had just a tidy bit better bass, but the overall sound quality is very nice for this size speaker.

Great piece of kit
I first came across Ruark products during a London staycation when the suite my family I were staying in had Ruark products in the r bedrooms and living room. Having been impressed by the warm sound these products produced I proceeded to purchase the R1S. This unit now follows me around the house, sitting on my desk when working from home, in the living room when I’m reading and finally into the bedroom for listening to before I drop of to sleep. The sound quality to me is warm and easily fills medium size rooms with no problem at all. The set up took just a few minutes and I love the fact that I have now my Spotify and Amazon services linked up, add into that the Dab stations and the internet station options, podcasts, Bluetooth, etc I am never at a loss for something to listen to. The build quality looks and feels amazing and I’m sure this unit is going to last me for several years. Overall highly rated

Great sound in a small package
We already had the rock R3 and wanted a smallerr system for the kitchen to replace our older Bose system. We were delighted with the R1. It has beautiful sound, is very easy to fit in the kitchen and set up is very simple. I an highly recommend it.
