Description

Ruark R1S Terracotta 40th Anniversary Smart Radio

The Ruark R1S Terracotta 40th Anniversary Edition is a special limited-edition version of Ruark’s compact smart radio, created to celebrate four decades of British audio design.

Finished in a warm Terracotta lacquer with an ebonised hand-crafted grille and distinctive etched 40th Anniversary badge, this edition gives the R1S a more individual and decorative character while retaining the same combination of DAB+, FM, Internet Radio, music streaming and Bluetooth connectivity.

Compact, beautifully made and easy to use, the R1S is equally at home in a kitchen, bedroom, study or living space.

DAB, DAB+ and FM Radio

The R1S includes DAB, DAB+ and FM reception, allowing easy access to national and local radio without relying solely on internet streaming. RDS support provides compatible station information, while a telescopic aerial is supplied for straightforward setup.

Internet Radio

Built-in Wi-Fi opens up a vast choice of Internet Radio stations from around the world. Whether you prefer music, speech, news, specialist stations or international broadcasts, the R1S gives you access to far more than conventional terrestrial radio.

Spotify Connect, Deezer and Amazon Music

The R1S goes beyond traditional radio with support for popular streaming services including Spotify Connect, Deezer and Amazon Music - this allows music to be selected from your preferred service and played directly through the R1S over Wi-Fi.

Bluetooth 5.2

Built-in Bluetooth 5.2 provides a quick and simple way to play music, podcasts and other audio from compatible smartphones, tablets and computers. For casual listening, it makes the R1S just as useful as a compact wireless speaker as it is a radio.

Ruark NS+ Driver

Sound is delivered by a custom 75mm Ruark NS+ full-range driver, powered by a dedicated 9W Class AB amplifier. Ruark uses adaptive equalisation to maintain a smooth and balanced presentation at different volume levels, while the optimised enclosure helps the R1S produce fuller bass than its compact dimensions might suggest.

The result is a warm, clear and engaging sound that works particularly well for radio, vocals and everyday music listening.

Colour TFT Display

A clear colour TFT display presents station information, menu options and playback details. Automatic brightness adjustment allows the screen to respond to changing light levels, making the R1S equally suitable for daytime use or as a bedside radio.

Alarm, Sleep and Snooze Functions

The R1S includes useful clock-radio features, including dual alarms, daily, weekday, weekend and custom alarm settings, sleep timer and snooze function, making the R1S particularly well suited to bedroom use.

USB-C Charging and Music Playback

A rear USB-C port can be used to charge compatible devices and also supports playback of MP3 files from USB storage. This gives the R1S another convenient source option while reducing the need for a separate phone charger nearby.

Line Input and Headphone Output

A switchable analogue line input allows an external audio source to be connected. A 3.5mm headphone socket is also provided for private listening, making the R1S flexible enough for both shared and personal use.

A Special Edition of a Ruark Favourite

The Ruark R1S Terracotta 40th Anniversary Edition combines the flexibility and sound quality of the standard R1S with a finish created specifically to celebrate Ruark’s 40-year history.

Its warm Terracotta lacquer, contrasting ebonised grille and anniversary detailing give it a more individual character, while DAB+, Internet Radio, streaming and Bluetooth ensure it remains a thoroughly modern compact music system.

For anyone looking for a stylish radio that feels as much like a piece of homeware as a piece of technology, this limited edition is particularly appealing.
