Ruark Audio RS1 Subwoofer
The Ruark RS1 has been developed to bring depth, rhythm, and harmony to any home audio system. Designed as a companion to Ruark’s award-winning MR1 desktop speakers, it also partners beautifully with the R3S and R410, or any system needing a stylish, musical subwoofer. With its deep yet controlled bass and elegant design, the RS1 doesn’t just add weight to your music — it transforms the listening experience.
Key Features
• Deep, Controlled, Musical Bass – Natural low-frequency extension without boom or distortion.
• 100W Class D Amplifier – Powerful yet refined performance with soft clipping protection.
• Optimised Enclosure & Drivers – Tuned cabinet with long-throw active driver and passive radiator.

Performance You Can Feel
The RS1 is about quality, not quantity. Its design delivers bass that is fast, rhythmic, and fundamentally musical — enhancing everything from rock and jazz to classical and electronic music. With a frequency response down to 25Hz, the RS1 ensures you feel every note while preserving balance and detail.
A powerful 100-watt Class D amplifier drives the system with precision, keeping firm control over the driver at all volumes. The built-in soft clipping filter offers reassurance against overload, while controls for crossover, volume, and phase make integration into any setup straightforward.
Designed to Fit Your Home
Unlike many subwoofers, the RS1 is designed with living spaces in mind. Its tailored grille and handcrafted wood panels create a piece that blends seamlessly with furnishings, while compact dimensions (H300 × W250 × D265mm) allow flexible placement.
