Ruark Audio R1 Mk4 review: Dashing DAB radio

 

The fourth-gen of this DAB radio is a dashing looking number, but is it a bit of an excessive luxury in this day and age?

Elegant looks ; Impressive build quality and finish ; Balanced and neutral sound

Expensive ; Restricted functionality ; Not the most assertive listen

If you're in the market for a radio, rather than a smart speaker on which to listen to radio stations, and you want it to both look the absolute business and sound very agreeable in most circumstances, Ruark has you covered. It'll cost you, mind.

A beautiful addition to my bedside cabinet!

 

I have been a Ruark fan for many years since I bought one of their larger music units. So when my old bedside clock radio died it was a no-brainer to replace it with the R1. The sound quality for such a small unit is superb, the controls are just like...

Excellent advice and product

 

Richer sounds customer services couldn't have been more helpful. I wanted a clock radio to replace my 30 year old Bose one. They recommended a Ruark which arrived promptly and is excellent.

Superb Sound

 

The moment I heard the R1 in store I was "blown away" by the quality of sound coming from this beautifully designed small radio. The audio quality is outstanding and out-performs o its competitors by a long way

Perfection improved

 

Avid collector of all things Ruark in all Mk's and models but this little design icon must be my absolute favourite. I love it's very clever subtle shape..wait til yours arrives! The cream is a super colour, the sound and build quality go without...

Great build quality & looks

 

Just refurbished our bedroom & required a alarm clock to replace our 20 year old one. The R1 ooze's style and quality with features to match, a little on the expensive side but couldn't be more happy with our purchase

Pleasure to wake up with, listen and watch!

 

In the mornings, the sound gently gets louder and you wake up with a (mostly) friendly voice from the news speaker. Then you enjoy walking in the room... and you see this piece of furniture, with no nonsense style. It is good as it is.

Roam around the airwaves

 

This little radio brings an amazing choice of stations which are easy to find - and move on from if not to your taste. Plenty more to satisfy! Great listening.
