The well-worn sweater you always reach for. The watch your grandad gave you. Life’s full of things we treasure and for us, it’s our R1 radio. It was the first product we launched in 2006 and we still cherish it today – and so do our customers. It’s perfectly proportioned, beautifully made, deceptively powerful and entirely adorable.

With acoustic treatment the enclosure is sturdy and acoustically inert, providing the ideal housing for our electronics and NS+ driver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnhancing the design further is a beautiful hand-crafted slatted wood grille.

With our heritage in high-fidelity loudspeakers we understand the complexities of enclosure and drive unit design and making sure that both are matched to each other. In particular our latest neodymium NS+ driver, as used in our R3 and R5 models, provides a smooth and extended frequency response and in R1 Mk4’s tuned enclosure delivers an impressive bass performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDriving the system is a punchy\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"nowrap\"\u003eClass A\/B\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003elinear amplifier for exceptional dynamics and with adaptive equalisation an eminently listenable sound is provided at all volume levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"large-10 large-offset-1 xxlarge-6 xxlarge-offset-0 xxxxlarge-5 xxxxlarge-offset-1 end columns\"\u003e\u003cpicture\u003e\u003cimg height=\"334\" width=\"299\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ruarkaudio.com\/assets\/img\/product-ns-content-top-r1-500px.jpg\" alt=\"Top view of Ruark R1 Mk4 in Light Cream lacquer finish\" class=\"ns-product-r1-top\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/picture\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"large-10 large-offset-1 xxlarge-6 xxlarge-offset-0 xxxxlarge-5 column--indent-right-xxxl column--extra-p-top-xxl end columns\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"ns-product-header-2\"\u003ePacked With Useful Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur crisp OLED display clearly shows time, alarm and programme information and auto adjusts to suit ambient light levels, making it a perfect bedside companion.
