Rose RS301

The Rose RS301 is a connected speaker designed to meet the expectations of demanding music enthusiasts. Its refined design is paired with precise sound reproduction and functional options tailored to modern uses: music streaming, high-resolution file playback, or streaming from a mobile device.

Unlimited Connectivity for All Your Audio Content

The Rose RS301 stands out for its versatility in connectivity. Equipped with dual WiFi and Ethernet network controllers, it easily integrates into your home network to access a multitude of online audio sources. Support for DLNA and Roon protocols allows you to wirelessly stream music stored on your computer or NAS.

For streaming enthusiasts, the RS301 is compatible with many popular services like Tidal and Qobuz, giving you unlimited access to millions of tracks in CD or Hi-Res quality. Web radios from around the world are also just a click away, offering boundless musical exploration.

Bluetooth and AirPlay connectivity further expand the possibilities, allowing you to easily stream audio from your smartphones, tablets, or computers. Whether you’re an iOS or Android user, the RS301 adapts to your ecosystem for a seamless and hassle-free experience.

An Audiophile Core to Enhance Your Music

At the heart of the Rose RS301 is a high-performance Sabre 32-bit DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter). This crucial component can decode the most demanding audio streams, up to PCM 32-bit / 384 kHz and DSD 11.2 MHz (DSD256). This extensive compatibility lets you fully enjoy your high-resolution audio files, revealing every nuance of your favorite recordings.

The DAC is paired with a precision clock that minimizes jitter, ensuring highly accurate conversion. The result is sound reproduction with exceptional clarity, a wide soundstage, and remarkable instrument separation. Whether you’re listening to intimate jazz, grand orchestral pieces, or rhythmic electronic music, the RS301 delivers each musical genre with fidelity and emotion.

An Intuitive Interface for Optimal User Experience

Daily use of the Rose RS301 is a true pleasure thanks to its polished user interface. The 5-inch touchscreen offers smooth navigation through your music libraries and the speaker’s various features. The Android operating system ensures optimal responsiveness and stability, while regular updates guarantee the addition of new features over time.

For those who prefer controlling their music from their smartphone or tablet, the Rose mobile app, available on iOS and Android, offers an equally intuitive experience. It allows you to manage playlists, adjust sound settings, and control playback remotely, turning your mobile device into a sophisticated remote control.

Comprehensive Connectivity for All Your Needs

Although primarily designed for wireless use, the Rose RS301 doesn’t overlook physical connections. It features a 3.5mm mini-jack input for connecting analog sources, a USB-B port for direct connection to a computer, and two USB-A ports for playing audio files stored on USB drives or external hard drives.

A micro SD card reader is also integrated, providing a convenient option for accessing your portable music libraries. Finally, a headphone output lets you enjoy your music privately without disturbing those around you.

Power Designed for Immersive Listening

With a total power output of 50 watts, the Rose RS301 has enough dynamic reserve to enliven your parties or fill a large living room. Intelligent amplification management ensures balanced sound reproduction at all listening levels, from quiet atmospheres to more festive moments.

The quality of the amplification is particularly evident in the precision of transients and the control of low frequencies. Drum impacts are sharp and incisive, while bass lines remain defined and articulate, without overflow or muddiness.
