The Ruark Audio RS1 Powered Subwoofer delivers precision-engineered bass that is both deep and musical. Experience the true essence of rhythm and emotion in your music with its scientifically optimized design.
The RS1 Powered Subwoofer employs a custom-designed enclosure optimized to harness the principles of acoustic physics for controlled bass delivery. With a frequency response of 25Hz to 200Hz, it includes a 170mm treated fibre long-throw active driver paired with a 170mm passive radiator. This combination allows for efficient sound wave propagation and low-frequency extension while maintaining the integrity of musicality. The powerful 100W Class D amplifier is designed to provide sufficient headroom to prevent distortion at higher volume levels, while soft clipping technology ensures that signal overloads do not damage the driver. The adjustable crossover ranging from 50–180Hz allows for precise tuning to suit various audio systems, enhancing compatibility and performance.
