Ruark are pleased to announce the launch of their\nfourth-generation model, the R1 Mk4. Ruark believes everyone deserves good design in\ntheir lives and like the original, the look of\nthe new R1 Mk4 is simple yet stunning. Ruark believe it is even more in-tune with what\ndiscerning customers are seeking today.\u003cbr\u003e\nEach generation of R1 has been an evolution of the\npredecessor, but with R1 Mk4 Ruark wanted it to be\nmore progressive both in design and performance.\u003cbr\u003e\nDiscarding the R1’s wood cabinet was a radical\ndecision, but with the new generation Ruark opted for\na moulding process allowing them to gently profile the\nenclosure. This gives the form factor a fresh feel and\nprovides a perfect surface for the new Light Cream\nand Espresso finishes. Complimenting the design is\na hand-crafted slatted wood grille. This brings further\nsophistication and creates a timeless aura, but\noverall, the design is still clearly Ruark.\n\nThe R1 Mk4 sets new standards for sound and features! With\nacoustic treatment the enclosure is strong and acoustically inert, providing an\nideal housing for our electronics and NS+ driver.\u003cbr\u003e\nA linear amplifier along with Ruarks NS+ driver and adaptive equalisation produce\nan eminently listenable sound at all volume levels.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe OLED display vividly shows time, alarm and programme information and\nauto adjusts to suit ambient light levels making it a perfect bedside companion.\u003cbr\u003e\nDigital and Analogue reception is excellent, and FM parameters can be set to\nsuit US and Japanese needs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nR1 also supports most Western and Eastern languages making it a truly\ninternational proposition. With a RTC (real time clock) built in, time and date are\nkept live when power is disconnected or when transmitted data is not available.\u003cbr\u003e\nOther highlights include a quality Bluetooth receiver, USB-C charge and playback\nport, switchable auxiliary input and headphone output. Finally, Ruarks trademark\nRotoDial control system makes R1 easy to use and for those seeking distant\noperation, there is a compact remote control available as an optional extra.\nUndoubtedly the best way to appreciate R1 Mk4 is to see and hear it. With its\ncontemporary new look, the design conscious will love it and for those avid\nradio listeners, it brings a new level of engagement. As we said back in 2006,\nradio never sounded or looked this good.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n• Class leading sound with adaptive EQ\u003cbr\u003e\n• DAB, DAB+ and FM Tuner\u003cbr\u003e\n• High quality Bluetooth receiver\u003cbr\u003e\n• RTC with battery backup\u003cbr\u003e\n• Intuitive Rotodial Control System\u003cbr\u003e\n• Linear amplifier with Ruark NaturalSound+ driver\u003cbr\u003e\n• High contrast OLED display with auto dimming\u003cbr\u003e\n• USB-C charge and shuffle playback port\u003cbr\u003e\n• Contoured polymer enclosure with acoustic treatment\u003cbr\u003e\n• Hand-crafted slatted wood grille\u003cbr\u003e\n• Adjustable EQ settings\u003cbr\u003e\n• Easily customised for hotel use\u003cbr\u003e\n• Improved power management with optional battery pack\u003cbr\u003e\n• Optional remote control with 4 direct access pre-sets\u003cbr\u003e\n• Stereo headphone output\u003cbr\u003e\n• Easy-to-use comprehensive dual alarms\u003cbr\u003e\n• Finishes: Light Cream lacquer with Ash grille\/ Espresso lacquer with Walnut grille\u003cbr\u003e\n• Dimensions: H175 x W130 x D135mm\u003cbr\u003e\n• Weight: 1.5 Kg","brand":"Ruark Audio","offers":[{"title":"Light Cream","offer_id":57415582056780,"sku":"RUARKR1MK4C","price":199.17,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Espresso","offer_id":57423954346316,"sku":"RUARKR1MK4E","price":199.17,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Remote Control","offer_id":57423954379084,"sku":"RUARKR1MK4REMOTE","price":12.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1053\/6891\/2204\/files\/Ruark-R1-MK4-Espresso.jpg?v=1777556613","url":"https:\/\/www.stoneaudio.co.uk\/products\/ruark-r1-mk4","provider":"Stone Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
