Ruark R3S Music System with Ruark RS1 Subwoofer
Ruark R3S Music System
Building upon its already impressive performance for 2023, R3 has been further refined and is now named the Ruark R3S. Outwardly, R3S retains the same beautiful compact design with its acoustically tuned handcrafted cabinet and high-contrast OLED display, but inwardly R3S features a powerful new processor and revised circuitry to deliver slicker performance and an even more engaging sound.
Features
- Stereo+ sound processing with adaptive equalisation for ideal sound at all volumes
- High-fidelity Class A-B amplifier with Ruark NS+ neodymium full-range drivers
- Multi-format slot-loading CD player
- Wi-Fi streaming with Spotify Connect, Amazon Music and Deezer, plus Bluetooth 5.2
- SmartRadio tuner with DAB/DAB+, FM and internet radio, plus a dedicated podcast source
- Analogue and optical inputs, switchable line/subwoofer output, headphone output and USB-C
Driving the system is a dynamic high-fidelity Class A-B amplifier combined with Ruark’s custom NS+ drivers, and for R3S Ruark has now included Stereo+ sound processing, first developed for the limited edition R5 Signature. This creates a broader soundstage with depth and realism that extends way beyond R3S’s compact stature. Whatever your taste in music, R3S will fulfil the needs of even the most discerning listener.
Music, Radio and Podcasts, Live and On-Demand
R3S directly supports key streaming services including Spotify Connect, Amazon Music and Deezer, and with its latest generation Bluetooth 5 receiver every other streaming service available. Bluetooth 5 provides excellent sound quality with a more robust and efficient connection, meaning that connected devices will run longer without needing a recharge. The Bluetooth function also seamlessly integrates with the volume control on phones and tablets, so when volume is adjusted this also shows on the display of R3S.
Radio is evolving, and with its SmartRadio tuner R3S will maximise your enjoyment of this timeless medium. DAB/DAB+ and FM tuners provide access to local and national broadcasts, and its internet tuner allows you to access high-quality streams and stations worldwide. In addition, with the growth of podcasts, R3S now has a source dedicated to this increasingly popular format. For listen-again shows and whatever your interest, a podcast to suit your taste is only a few clicks away using the RotoDial controller or supplied IR remote. Also available is a free Android and iOS control app called UNDOK. This also allows full control of R3S and is particularly useful for searching internet radio stations and podcasts.
CD Playback and Much More
CD is still a fantastic way to enjoy music, and with its high-specification player R3S allows customers to reconnect with their CDs and rediscover the fun of browsing cover art and the liner notes on the pull-out sleeves. Alongside standard CDs, R3S will also play self-made CDs encoded with MP3, WMA and AAC files, and displays track and artist information when the data is available on the disc.
On the rear panel, Ruark has included a USB-C playback and charge port, a headphone output and switchable analogue and digital inputs, so devices such as a TV, or a turntable with a phono stage, can be easily connected. For film buffs and lovers of bass-orientated music, the line output can be switched for connection to an active subwoofer. Ruark’s own RS1 subwoofer is the natural partner, but many good-quality active subwoofers will work with R3S to add an extra level of dynamic realism to its already impressive sound.
Ruark RS1 Subwoofer
Born from the desire to enhance the already impeccable sound of the Ruark MR1 Mk3 Bluetooth speakers, the Ruark RS1 subwoofer can transform the audio performance of any home speaker with driving rhythm and rich harmony. Beautifully controlled and fundamentally musical, RS1 is the bedrock of larger-than-life sound that you can both hear and feel.
