MR1 MK2 Rich Walnut

The MR1's active speakers are class-leading and provide excellent sound in many applications. Perfect as computer speakers, ideal for use with a record player and a fantastic way to enhance the sound of your TV, the MR1s will fill any room with quality sound without dominating it, making them ideal for music lovers.

Ruark Audio designs all music systems in-house and has done so since its inception in 1985. The MR1 Bluetooth speaker system embodies over 35 years of experience and victory in the prestigious What Hi-Fi competition. The award, six years in a row, for the best bookshelf acoustic system shows that the manufacturer knows its business well. Thanks to the high-quality aptX Bluetooth receiver, you can wirelessly stream music from your computer or phone to the MR1 with CD-quality sound. Plug in your player and be part of the vinyl renaissance, and for movie buffs, connecting the MR1 to your TV will greatly enhance the sound quality and enjoyment of everything you watch.

The MR1 incorporates a high quality Class A-B stereo amplifier and specially designed loudspeakers to deliver sound that belies their compact size. Both the tweeter and woofer are equipped with rare-earth neodymium magnets, which provide a powerful motor system with excellent control. Thanks to the lightweight moving parts, the low-distortion drivers are able to respond instantly and accurately follow the input signal, providing excellent clear sound. The MR1 brings all music to life effortlessly and naturally. There are no compromises in sound quality with such a compact system that performs impressively and surpasses their level.

Bluetooth performance is exemplary, but Ruark Audio has also included a switchable analog and optical digital input on the back, as well as a dedicated subwoofer output. We've already mentioned hooking up a TV or turntable, but the optical input with 24-bit 192kHz capability lets you connect the latest high-resolution audio streamers so you can enjoy music services like Tidal, Qobuz and Spotify at their best. For those looking to further enhance the sound of the MR1, adding an active subwoofer is highly recommended.

With this acoustic system, no "Blackouts" are scary for you! Pair the MR1 with the optional BackPack 3 and you can enjoy sound wherever there is no power source. Placing batteries inside takes up valuable speaker capacity, but the BackPack 3 allows you to keep your rich performance off the mains with the benefit of portability when you need it.

A complete evolution of the original, the BackPack 3 attaches easily to the speaker and once installed can be left in place permanently as it automatically charges when connected to a power source. A full charge will provide up to twelve hours of listening without a network, depending on the volume.
