A Legacy of Excellence

It has been fourteen years since Ruark introduced the first-generation R1, an iconic model that redefined table radios. Now, the Ruark R1 Mk4 marks the fourth generation of this celebrated design. Staying true to its roots, the Mk4 continues to showcase Ruark's commitment to quality and innovation, ensuring its place as a leader in premium audio products.

Design Evolution

The R1 Mk4 retains the timeless beauty of its predecessors but introduces a modern twist to appeal to today's design-conscious customers. Transitioning from the labour-intensive wooden housings of earlier models, Ruark has adopted an efficient injection moulding process. This allows for subtle shaping and the addition of contemporary finishes like light cream and espresso lacquer. The polymer housing, reinforced with a special acoustic coating, ensures optimal sound performance. The handcrafted wooden front grille enhances the visual appeal, creating a product that remains unmistakably Ruark while embracing contemporary design sensibilities.

Advanced Features

With the R1 Mk4, Ruark sets a new benchmark for sound quality and functionality. Its powerful amplifier, paired with the in-house developed NS+ loudspeaker unit and adaptive equalisation, delivers rich, balanced audio at any volume. The high-contrast OLED display provides clear information on time, alarms, and programmes, with automatic ambient light adjustment for versatility. Equipped with exceptional reception for digital and analogue radio, the R1 Mk4 also includes a premium Bluetooth receiver, a USB playback and charging port compatible with formats like FLAC and WAV, and a line-in input for other devices. Ruark’s signature RotoDial controller ensures intuitive operation, while optional accessories like a compact remote control and battery pack enable portable use.

Designed to Impress

The Ruark R1 Mk4 combines sophisticated aesthetics with exceptional audio quality, making it a standout choice for both design enthusiasts and music lovers. Whether placed in a living room or a bedroom, its stylish appearance and versatile features offer an unparalleled user experience.

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.

James F.

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!

Guy H.

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.

Kaylay L.

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.
