Like all Ruark products, the RS1 is built with a passion for music at its heart. It prioritises deep, controlled, and—most importantly—musical sound rather than overblown bass. The enclosure and custom drivers are precision-tuned to naturally extend low frequencies with speed and rhythmic accuracy. Powering this is a 100W Class D amplifier, which provides control over the bass driver, maintaining clarity and consistency across all listening levels.
Plays Well With Others
Filling in the low-end where smaller speakers fall short, the RS1 Subwoofer ensures a richer and more rounded audio experience. Whether paired with Ruark's bookshelf speakers or radio systems, this sub brings the joy of bass to every song. Its ability to automatically turn itself on and off as required makes setup and adjustment straightforward, and phase, crossover, and volume controls make it easy to integrate with your system.
Ruark Design
Blending style with substance, the Ruark RS1 offers a refined aesthetic without compromising on bass extension. Breaking away from conventional subwoofer black-box aesthetics, the RS1 boasts a sleek grey grille and hand-crafted soft-grey panels for a more sophisticated finish. These elements echo Ruark’s distinctive style and aesthetic, ensuring the RS1 can be integrated with any Ruark speakers you already own.
