The Foundation of Music
Bass is the foundation of music. It is the element that makes you feel the rhythm, the groove, and the emotion of a song. Bass can make your heart beat faster, your body move, and your mood change. Whether you listen to rock, pop, hip hop, jazz, or classical music, clean and extended bass adds a new dimension to musical enjoyment and that’s why we’ve developed RS1

Enhancing your experience
RS1 delivers bass that smaller speakers can’t, giving a more satisfying and realistic audio experience. It’s a perfect addition to Ruark’s MR1 and R3S models or any other system where a subwoofer with style and good sound is required, providing the joy of bass in every note and song.
Born from the desire to enhance the already impeccable sound of Ruark’s award-winning MR1 Bluetooth speakers, the all-new RS1 subwoofer can transform the audio performance of any home speaker with driving rhythm and rich harmony. Beautifully controlled and fundamentally musical, RS1 is the bedrock of larger-than-life sound that you can both hear and feel. Developed through demand As with the rest of Ruark’s R-Series, the elegant design and technical specifications of RS1 are unparalleled. Where many subwoofers are unattractive black boxes, the tailored grille and hand-crafted panels of RS1 have been crafted to enable it to sit comfortably within the home.
Controlled delivery
The enjoyment of music is at the core of any Ruark design, and RS1 is not about thunderous, overblown bass, but about deep, controlled, and most importantly, musical, sound. To achieve this, the enclosure and custom drivers have been optimised and tuned to provide naturalextended bass, that is fast and rhythmic. Driving the system is a powerful 100-watt Class D amplifier. This new generation amplifier keeps firm control of the bass.

Ruark is well known in the world of HiFi speakers from the '80s and '90s.
