  • Our take on the Ruark R1S

    The Ruark R1S is a compact table radio that covers FM, DAB/DAB+ and internet radio, plus Bluetooth 5.2 streaming and a dedicated podcast source. Its single 75mm Ruark NS+ driver and sealed polymer cabinet are tuned for warm, room-filling sound from a small footprint, and a 3.5mm headphone jack and optional remote round out the controls. It suits kitchen counters, bedside tables and small rooms where a one-box radio with modern streaming matters more than hi-fi separation. Against cheaper DAB radios it adds internet radio and Wi-Fi, and against larger Ruark models it trades stereo and bass depth for size.
