Product Summary
The Ruark RS1 is a compact active subwoofer designed for customers who want to add deeper, fuller and more controlled bass to a music system without bringing in a huge, room-dominating box. Styled to sit naturally alongside Ruark’s own systems and active speakers, it is equally well suited to improving the scale and authority of many other subwoofer-ready setups.
Rather than aiming for overblown or boomy bass, the RS1 is built with music in mind. Its 100 W Class D amplifier, 170 mm long-throw driver and 170 mm passive radiator are designed to add weight, rhythm and low-end depth while keeping the presentation tight, tuneful and well integrated with the main speakers.
The RS1 is also easy to fit into real-world systems. With adjustable crossover and level controls, a phase switch and auto standby/wake, it gives customers a straightforward way to fine-tune bass performance for their room and speakers. It is an excellent option for anyone wanting a compact, stylish subwoofer that adds genuine low-frequency extension without overwhelming the rest of the system.
