Ruark Audio R1 MK4 (Espresso)

Packed With Useful Features

Our crisp OLED display clearly shows time, alarm and programme information and auto adjusts to suit ambient light levels, making it a perfect bedside companion. Radio reception is excellent, and a Bluetooth receiver allows you to enjoy R1’s great sound when streaming from your phone or computer.

FM parameters can be set to suit US and Japanese needs and a multilingual user interface makes R1 a truly international proposition. Also with a real time clock built in, time and date are kept active when power is disconnected or when transmitted data is not available.

The list of features continues, but other highlights include a USB-C charge/shuffle playback port, headphone output, switchable line input and of course our trademark RotoDial control system. Finally, for those seeking distant operation, we have an optional compact remote control available.

Sound at Your Fingertips

Our compact remote is a convenient addition to your R1 and allows total wireless control. Store and choose your favourite radio stations through four direct preset buttons, select your source input, control volume, pause, rewind or skip tracks and power-down.

Mains Powered Sound on the Move With BackPack 3

With its battery status display and improved power management R1 Mk4 works even better and longer with the our optional BackPack 3 and means you can enjoy R1’s rich mains powered performance where mains power is unavailable.

BackPack 3 attaches seamlessly to R1 and once fitted can be left permanently in place as it charges automatically whenever mains power is re-applied. A full charge will provide up to twelve hours of mains free listening depending on volume.

BackPack 3 is also compatible with our R1S Smart Radio and MR1 Bluetooth Speaker System.
