R1 Mk3 deluxe tabletop radio, DAB, DAB+, FM Tuner RDS, A2DP Bluetooth, USB, 9 watts, OLED display, 1.8Kg
Elegant and beautifully simple, the new R1 is the third generation of our iconic table radio which started the Ruark Audio story and marked our transition from manufacturing Hi-Fidelity loudspeakers, to quality compact audio systems.
At first glance, the new R1 appears remarkably similar to its predecessors, but look closely and you will see that everything about it has been refined. Our updated ‘RotoDial’ control system looks slick, and combined with the latest OLED display, provides a control interface which is clear and intuitive to use. The enclosure retains the same attractive dimensions, but with new lacquer finishes and a crisper design for the front and rear panels, the craftsmanship and desirability of the new R1 has been raised to an even greater level.
Bluetooth streaming with text data
With its refreshed look, honed performance and addition of Bluetooth audio streaming, the new R1 has been painstakingly evolved, making it, we believe, the best and most complete tabletop radio available.
In keeping with our desire for excellence, the new R1 is now available through our select dealer network. These include John Lewis, Selfridges and a range of quality audio and design stores across the UK. Find a stockist near you. Should you have a problems locating a dealer with available stock, please do not hesitate to contact us for assistance.

We are delighted to announce our first collaboration with iconic designers Osborne & Little and to introduce a limited edition of our new R1 featuring one of their latest designs called 'Melo'. Quintessentially British and founded in the early 1960s, Osborne & Little have become one of the worlds leading names in fabric and wallpaper design. Like ourselves, Osborne & Little have a reputation for innovation and exceptional quality and you will find their designs in the finest dwellings around the world.
The O&L R1 Melo will be available from late May 2015 through John Lewis, Selfridges and select independent dealers around the UK. With a production run of just 1,000 pieces we anticipate that this limited edition will sell quickly, but as always, please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any problems locating a participating dealer.
