A new approach
Each generation of our R1 is an evolution of the original, but with the R1 Mk4 we wanted it to be more progressive, both in design and performance.
Using a precision molding process, the body is round and sleek, providing a perfect surface for the Light Cream and Espresso finishes. With acoustic treatment, the housing is sturdy and acoustically inert, providing the ideal enclosure for the electronics and driver.
The design is further enhanced by a beautifully hand crafted wooden grill. This creates a timeless Eames-esque atmosphere, but overall the design is still unique and distinctly Ruark.
Base
The bright OLED display clearly displays time, alarm and program information and automatically adjusts to ambient light, making it a perfect bedside companion. Radio reception is excellent, and with a Bluetooth receiver you can enjoy R1's great sound when streaming from your phone or computer.
Also with a built-in real-time clock, time and date are kept active when power is turned off or when transmitted data is unavailable.
12 hours of music
The optional BatteryPack 3 connects seamlessly to R1 and once fitted can be left permanently in place as it charges automatically when the mains power is switched on again. A full charge provides up to twelve hours of listening depending on volume.
By connecting the rechargeable battery pack, the R1 has become a portable radio that you can easily take anywhere. On holiday, in the garden or on the boat. With battery status display and improved power management, the R1 Mk4 works even better and longer.
