Fourteen years have passed since Ruark launched the first generation of the R1! Fourteen years later, she is here, the Ruark R1 MK4 the 4th generation R1.
 
As with the original, the look of the R1 Mk4 is iconic and beautiful, but Ruark believes it is even more in the spirit of the times and what sophisticated, design-oriented customers are looking for today. One of the most difficult tasks in the development of the R1 Mk4 was to implement new audio and feature enhancements while offering a competitive product that is priced close to its predecessor. The wooden housings used in the previous R1 models certainly looked beautiful, but were very labor intensive in production. For the first time, Ruark has therefore opted for an efficient injection molding process in production.
This change has has made it possible to give the housing a subtle shape. In addition, the modern, contemporary design offers a perfect surface for the new light cream and espresso lacquer variants. Prepared inside with a special acoustic coating, the stiff and acoustically sluggish polymer housing offers the ideal tuning for the electronics and the newly developed NS+ speaker unit. Together with the handmade wooden front grille, a timeless radio inspired by design classics was created, which is still clearly recognizable as Ruark.
Ruark sets new standards in terms of sound and equipment with the R1 Mk4! The powerful amplifier unit in combination with the in-house developed NS+ loudspeaker unit and adaptive equalization produces a full and extremely balanced sound at all volumes. The high-contrast OLED display displays crisp time, alarm and program information. It can be set to automatic adjustment to the ambient light. This also make it a perfect companion in the bedroom. The reception feature is excellent for both digital and analog radio operations. The high-quality Bluetooth receiver allows a fast and trouble-free connection to smartphone or other players, so you can easily play your favorite streaming services. Also included is a USB playback and charging port that supports many formats, including FLAC and WAV. Other playback devices can also be connected via the line-in input. Ruark's trademark, the RotoDial controller on the top of the R1, makes operation intuitive. Optionally, there is a compact remote control for control as well as a battery pack, which makes it possible to use the R1 also mobile.
Undoubtedly the best way to convince yourself of the new R1 is to see and hear it. With its attractive, fresh look, the design-conscious customer will love it and for radio and music lovers it brings a new level of quality.

Testimonials

Bought some Rega Kyte speakers, stands and chords from DB online and they were incredibly helpful. They updated my delivery address very quickly and recommended a longer cut of cables which they did complimentary. They also noticed I didn’t order with banana plugs so called me back to double check, which I did mean to order. When i had some issues connecting my cables and speakers, I called for some advice which they happily gave. Excellent service and next day delivery to London. Thoroughly recommend.

Probably one of the best companies in the world. They had to special order in the speakers which took a fair bit of time, which is totally understandable, but they kept in touch with me throughout the entire time with updates (even on a Sunday!!!) and once the speakers were with them, they were dispatched and arrived next day.

The entire sound system that I purchased is insanely good, but still not as good as Doug Brady HiFi!

I have recently purchased a HiFi package with Doug Brady and I could not be more thrilled with my experience with them.
When I walked into the store, I was made to feel welcome and was introduced to some of the products. I produces a list of specific items I was interested in and John was really helpful in showing me these items. He set the system up so I could experience it, he made some suggestions which made the package even better. Nothing seemed too much trouble for him, he was very knowledgeable about the products and gave great advice. I didn't feel pressured to buy anything, or didn't feel that he was upselling at any point. I left with an amazing package and I'd like to thank John and the team for the fantastic experience.

It’s now two weeks since I bought home my new system and I wanted to say thanks again for all your help, advice and guidance, not to mention cups of tea. I now have a system that meets all my requirements and sounds fantastic. Special thanks to Jon, who I hope is on the road to recovery from his operation and to Roger, who helped me finalise my choice. The Rega Saturn, Hegel H190V and Dali Rubicon 2 is undoubtedly the best system I have ever owned.
