Pull up a chair, take the weight off your feet. Stream something new, or play those forgotten CDs again – and the memories, in high definition, will come flooding back. With R3S, you will rediscover the music you love and just how enjoyable listening can be through a system that enhances both your home and your life.

  • Class leading audio with enhanced Stereo+ sound
  • Comprehensive Wi-Fi streaming
  • Quality slot loading CD player
  • Latest generation Bluetooth 5 receiver
  • SmartRadio with Internet/DAB/DAB+/FM tuners
  • Dedicated podcast source

Compact design, expansive sound

We believe R3S is the best compact music system available, and the wonderful reviews we receive from our customers are evidence of this. We also understand that for many people, looks matter as much as sound. With its beautifully hand-crafted cabinet, crisp OLED display, and tactile RotoDial controller, we have created a system that exudes style - one you’ll be proud to have in your home.

Regarding sound, powering the system is a dynamic high-fidelity amplifier, which, combined with our custom NS+ drivers and STEREO+ sound processing, creates a soundstage that extends far beyond R3S’s compact stature. So whatever your taste in music, R3S will meet the needs of even the most discerning listener.

Music and radio on demand

R3S supports key streaming services including Spotify Connect, Amazon Music, and Deezer, plus every other service via its Bluetooth 5 receiver. With improved sound quality and efficient connectivity, the Bluetooth function also seamlessly integrates with the volume control on phones and tablets – so when the volume is adjusted, it also changes on R3S.

Radio is evolving, and with its Internet/DAB/DAB+/FM SmartRadio tuner, R3S will maximise your enjoyment of this timeless medium. R3S also features a dedicated podcast source, easily browsed using the RotoDial controller, IR remote, or free Oktiv app for iOS and Android – perfect for discovering new stations and shows.

CD playback and more

In our opinion, CDs still provide outstanding sound quality and allow customers to rediscover the joy of browsing cover art and liner notes. Alongside standard CDs, R3S also supports homemade discs encoded with WAV and MP3 files, and will display track and artist data if this information is available on the disc.

Connections on the rear include a USB-C playback and charge port, a headphone output, and switchable analogue and digital inputs - allowing easy connection of a turntable or TV. For extra bass extension, the line outputs can be switched for connection to an active subwoofer. Our own RS1 subwoofer is a perfect match for R3S, adding an extra level of dynamic realism to its already impressive sound.
