The result is a versatile pair of active speakers that can work equally well on a desk, with a television, alongside a turntable or as the heart of a compact music system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNew Ruark NS+ Bass\/Mid Drivers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe MR1 MK3 uses newly developed 85mm Ruark NS+ long-throw woofers with treated natural-fibre cones. These larger, more advanced drivers are designed to deliver deeper bass, greater control and improved midrange clarity compared with the previous generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThey are partnered with custom 20mm silk dome tweeters, giving the MR1 MK3 a smooth, detailed and well-balanced presentation across a wide range of music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2 x 25W Class D Amplification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAmplification technology derived from Ruark’s larger R410 system provides 25 watts per channel of Class D power. This gives the MR1 MK3 more authority and dynamic headroom while keeping the system compact and efficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAdaptive EQ and soft-clip protection help maintain a balanced sound across different listening levels and protect the speakers when driven harder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Resolution USB-C Audio\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eA dedicated USB-C audio input allows direct digital connection to compatible laptops, tablets and smartphones. USB playback supports audio up to 24-bit\/96kHz, making it a particularly good option for listeners who use the MR1 MK3 as premium desktop or computer speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBluetooth 5.1 with aptX HD\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWireless playback is handled by Bluetooth 5.1 with support for aptX HD, AAC and SBC. This makes it easy to stream from compatible smartphones, tablets and computers while maintaining better sound quality than standard Bluetooth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFor everyday listening, the MR1 MK3 can therefore operate as a high-quality wireless speaker system without requiring a separate streamer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt-In Moving Magnet Phono Stage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eOne of the most useful additions to the MK3 is its dedicated moving magnet phono input. A compatible turntable can connect directly to the speakers without requiring a separate phono preamplifier or integrated amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe phono input includes adjustable gain, making the MR1 MK3 an especially attractive option for anyone looking to build a stylish and compact vinyl system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOptical Input for TV Sound\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe combined 3.5mm input can also operate as a mini-TOSLINK optical digital input, supporting PCM audio up to 24-bit\/192kHz. This makes the MR1 MK3 a strong alternative to a conventional soundbar for smaller televisions or rooms where high-quality stereo sound is more important than surround processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnalogue Line Input\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe same combined input can be used as a conventional 3.5mm stereo analogue connection. This allows CD players, streamers, televisions and other analogue sources to connect easily. Input levels can be adjusted independently, helping maintain consistent volume when switching between sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSubwoofer Output\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eA dedicated mono RCA subwoofer output allows an active subwoofer to be added for greater bass extension. Ruark’s own RS1 is a natural visual and acoustic partner, but the MR1 MK3 can also be used with other compatible active subwoofers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDual-Flared Bass Reflex Cabinets\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eEach speaker uses a carefully tuned dual-flared bass reflex enclosure. The cabinet has been subtly enlarged compared with the previous generation to provide the new NS+ woofer with the internal volume it needs to perform at its best. Typical in-room frequency response extends down to 48Hz, giving the MR1 MK3 an impressive sense of scale for such a compact system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompact Remote Control\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eA compact IR remote control is included, allowing convenient access to volume, source selection, power and other everyday functions from the listening position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe primary speaker also features Ruark’s tactile top-mounted control for straightforward operation without the remote.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElegant Ruark Styling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe MR1 MK3 retains the clean, furniture-friendly appearance for which Ruark is known. Handcrafted cabinets, bevelled front edges and Dark Slate fabric grilles give the system a more refined appearance, while the compact proportions make the speakers easy to place on a desk, sideboard or shelving unit.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e2 x Ruark 20mm silk dome tweeters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e2 x Ruark 85mm NS+ long-throw woofers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eTreated natural-fibre woofer cones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e2 x 25W Class D amplification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBluetooth 5.1 \/ aptX HD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eCombined analogue \/ optical input\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBuilt-in MM phono stage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompact Speakers with Genuine Hi-Fi Ambition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe Ruark MR1 MK3 is a particularly strong choice for anyone who wants proper stereo sound from a compact and beautifully designed system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIts improved drivers, more powerful amplification, high-resolution USB input, aptX HD Bluetooth and built-in phono stage make it far more versatile than a typical desktop speaker, while its compact proportions and premium finishes allow it to fit comfortably into almost any room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWhether used with a computer, turntable, television or smartphone, the MR1 MK3 delivers an impressive blend of sound quality, flexibility and design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable finishes include:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eRich Walnut with Dark Slate grille\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eCharcoal Lacquer with Dark Slate grille\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ruark Audio","offers":[{"title":"Rich Walnut","offer_id":55468189712761,"sku":"MR1-MK3-Walnut","price":399.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Charcoal","offer_id":55468189745529,"sku":"MR1-MK3-Charcoal","price":399.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/6925\/8475\/files\/MR1-MK3-Walnut-4.jpg?v=1763403419","url":"https:\/\/www.weybridge-audio.co.uk\/products\/ruark-mr1-mk3-desktop-speakers","provider":"Weybridge Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
