Description

RS1 is the active subwoofer of Ruark

The RS1 active subwoofer has been designed to enrich the listening experience of the extraordinary Ruark systems, in particular for the refined active speakers ideal for the Ruark MR1 desks, but it is the ideal choice to complete any other HiFi system.

The bass is the foundation of music: it is the element that makes you feel the rhythm, the groove and transmits the emotion of a song. The bass can make your heart beat faster, move your body and change your mood. Whether it is Rock, Pop, Hip Hop, Jazz or classical music, clean and extended bass adds a new dimension to musical enjoyment.

RS1 from the English brand integrates a 100 W class D amplification module with anti-clipping system, a 17 cm long-stroke active driver coupled with a 17 cm passive driver, both in cellulose fiber.

The subwoofer is the ideal instrument not only for listening to music: the typical setup for sounding TV and enjoying films and TV series; not only does it broaden the frequency response in the low frequencies, but it also provides the right reinforcement to fully experience the immersive experience of soundtracks and real rock thanks to its powerful sound impact, the so-called punch.

With impeccable control and extremely musical performance, RS1 is the essential ingredient to fully immerse yourself in the musical atmosphere or in cinematographic films.

The most beautiful subwoofer ever

All Ruark products are designed to meet both the needs of music lovers and to offer an extremely elegant and refined design.

The RS1 subwoofer can transform the audio performance of any home speaker by both increasing the low frequency extension and adding more punch to fully engage with the music, improving dynamics and rhythm.

The R1S fits perfectly into any type of environment, becoming a true design object. Unlike many subwoofers with a poorly designed design and designed to be hidden in the furniture, the RS1 is crafted according to a master craftsmanship with extreme care, combining real wood and acoustic fabric to blend perfectly with the furniture.

“We developed the RS1 to respond to the great demand for a subwoofer to match the award-winning MR1. The MR1 produces an extraordinary sound but with the RS1 they take on a new dimension, with deep and controlled bass.”

Alan O’Rourke of Ruark

Controlled and Powerful Sound

Ruark puts the pleasure of music at the center of its creations, and the RS1 does not disappoint, managing to guarantee a deep, controlled and natural sound.

The heart of the system is a powerful 100 Watt Class D amplifier capable of maintaining absolute control of the woofer at any volume level. In addition, the system is equipped with protections against clipping and overload to prevent any damage to the speakers. Installation and adjustment are extremely simple: just connect RS1 to the SUB output of your audio system, the on and off will be automatically controlled thanks to the standby function.

The Cabinet is designed to exploit the passive radiator configuration: a 17 cm cellulose fiber front driver with a long-stroke voice coil - driven directly by the integrated amplifier - is coupled with a 17 cm passive down-firing driver moved by the movement of the air produced by the rear part of the main driver.

The feet are made of rubber to avoid damaging the surfaces underneath but also to decouple the subwoofer cabinet: the result is a material, precise and defined bass, not blurred.

This system allows you to reinforce the low frequencies without generating turbulence, ensuring excellent sound performance, favoring clean, precise and material bass.

Extraordinary Audio Experience

With absolute elegance, it does not overwhelm the performance with excessively powerful bass, but through the controls on the rear panel it is possible to perfectly calibrate the performance to offer the best punch in combination with any audio system. The controls include:

adjustable crossover between 50 and 180Hz

volume level

180-degree phase switch

To achieve this level of performance, the cabinet and speakers designed internally by Ruark and optimized to provide excellent extension at low frequencies, with a material, fast and rhythmic sound.

Offering unrivalled bass, RS1 completes the sound experience of small bookshelf or desktop speakers, providing a more immersive and realistic performance. It is the perfect partner for the MR1 active system but also for R3S and the new R410 from the same English brand, perfectly matching the look that combines a real wood finish and mélange acoustic fabric.

It can be combined with any other system that requires a subwoofer that combines style and good sound, offering a pleasant punch to every piece of music or film.

The frequency response varies from 25 Hz to 200 kHz and it is possible to set the crossover between 50 and 180 Hz in order to perfectly integrate RS1 into any setup.

RS1 combines exceptional performance with refined design, becoming a furnishing object to be inserted into your home contexts

MR1

The MR1 active speakers are an extraordinary way to enjoy music, connect a turntable or a CD player, sound a PC station of a desk or to improve the sound of a TV: it is no coincidence that they have been awarded by the prestigious magazine What Hi-Fi? for six consecutive years.

With the RS1 subwoofer they will become an absolutely complete system for both music lovers and design lovers.

R3S

The R3s system is one of the most complete all-in-one in the history of HiFi: it integrates a CD player to rediscover your entire record collection, and a SmartRadio with Internet Radio, DAB / DAB + and FM tuners.

R3s also supports the main streaming services including Spotify Connect, Amazon Music and Deezer and thanks to the latest generation Bluetooth 5 receiver every other available streaming service.

R410

The R410 is an audio system that reinterprets the design of the seventies in a modern key. From the hand-crafted cabinet to the individual electronic components, only the highest quality materials have been used.

At the heart of the R410 is a powerful processor capable of playing music from Spotify Connect and Tidal Connect, and via the integrated Apple AirPlay and Chromecast it can stream from Deezer, Qobuz and any music App, as well as create Multiroom systems.
