Ruark has unveiled a classic new limited-edition colourway for R1 Mk4. Evoking the vivid beauty of the forest, the Bluetooth radio’s Pine Green finish lends an elegant splash of colour to an evergreen piece of Ruark design.
Representing a new look for the beloved radio, R1 MK4’s beautifully finished Pine Green exterior and handcrafted wooden grille bring the outside in, whether its soundtracking cosy winter nights by the fire or providing the ambience for a hazy summer afternoon.
Crafted in collaboration with Nordoff and Robbins – a music therapy charity that uses the power of music to break through the barriers of disability, illness, and injustice – R1 Mk4 strengthens the bond between fan and artist with a powerful audio performance that makes every piece of music truly sing.
A donation to the charity will be made for every one of the limited-edition R1 Mk4 radios sold. Nordoff and Robbins also received several units to be raffled off at its annual O2 Silver Clef Awards on 5th July 2024.
“Having supported Nordoff and Robbins since 2012 when we collaborated on our first limited edition R1, we’re delighted to be teaming up once more to create this beautiful exclusive variant of our beloved Bluetooth radio,” says Alan O’Rourke, Managing Director at Ruark.
“With a shared desire to bring people together with exceptional musical experiences, every sale of R1 Mk4 in Pine Green will make a difference to those living with a range of challenges.”
“We are so excited and grateful to be working with Ruark Audio on creating this limited edition Ruark R1 radio in aid of Nordoff and Robbins. Music is in our DNA, and we believe in bringing the power of music into more homes. Each and every person who purchases this wonderful radio will be helping to transform the lives of vulnerable and isolated people through music therapy,” explains Sandy Trappitt, Deputy Director of Fundraising at Nordoff and Robbins.
Designed with flexible connectivity at its core, R1 Mk4 comes with support for DAB, DAB+, and FM radio, as well as high quality Bluetooth streaming, transforming the timeless medium of radio into a complete music system.
For truly versatile listening experiences, R1 Mk4 also features a USB-C charge and playback port, switchable auxiliary input and headphone output, allowing music lovers to immerse themselves in their favourite songs, radio stations and podcasts, however they want.
The Ruark R1 Mk4 in Pine Green is available to selected retailers from mid-September.
