Ruark Audio R1 gives warmth to digital radio

Ruark have been a name in the loudspeaker market for decades, making their first British monitor loudspeakers in 1986 as a father/son pair. Over the past decade, Ruark Audio has expanded to the digital radio market, and have made their mark as producers of high quality, compact radio systems.

The R1 Mk3 is Ruark’s smallest table radio, designed to excel in your bedroom, kitchen, or any other cozy nooks in your house. With its lone front-firing driver, the R1 manages to produce audio with exquisite depth of tone and a warmth to making listening to virtually any radio station a pleasant experience. We have listened to a lot of table radios, and none manage the balance between detail and pleasant listening quite like Ruark Audio’s radios do.

In addition to DAB+ and FM radio capabilities, the R1 allows you to stream audio from your phone using Bluetooth, and there is an additional auxiliary input in case you prefer a wired connection.

Ruark’s 30-year heritage as speaker manufacturers is observable not only in the audio quality of the R1, but also in its aesthetic design. The cabinets of the R1 are likely the best available in its price bracket, with two options of satin finish in white or black, or a walnut wood veneer. The organic LED screen and the navigational buttons allow for intuitive, reliable interfacing, so you never need to worry about using a remote.

The Ruark Audio R1 Mk3 probably sounds a little too good to be true, so you should verify its quality for yourself. Come into a Stereophonic showroom today to have a listen!
