Ruark MRx Connected Wireless Speaker
As you would expect from Ruark, the new MRx is something rather special! With great sound and a wide range of abilities the MRx makes a perfect system for your lounge, kitchen or study, but linked with other MRx or ruark’s R2 Mk3 and R7 Mk3 models it’s easy to build a wireless multi-room system for quality synchronised sound wherever required.
Streaming Heaven
MRx has been built for wireless streaming and offers a fantastic choice of options. For direct streaming, its Bluetooth receiver allows quick and easy connection and with aptX technology you will enjoy CD quality sound from compatible devices. With a broadband internet connection MRx comes alive and allows access to internet radio and an almost infinite library of music through online services such as Spotify, Deezer and Tidal, with Amazon Music also coming soon. Moreover you can also stream music stored on other networked computers and also from your phone
High-Fidelity Performance
Specifically for MRx, Ruark have developed new speaker units based on the driver technology from their award-winning MR1 active speakers. A new cone and coil assembly coupled with the powerful neodymium magnet system provides a full-range driver with unrivalled performance. These drivers are mounted as a stereo pair into tuned bass reflex enclosures and powered by a high-fidelity two channel Class A-B amplifier. Using the latest sound processing technology, Ruark have further tuned the sound and have created a stereo soundstage that belies the MRx compact dimensions.
Easy to Control
The stylish controller located on the front of MRx allows volume and source to be easily changed, but for full remote control there is a dedicated app for iOS and Android devices called Ruark Link. This allows full control of all MRx functions and also displays information on the source material being played. Link also allows users to create and manage groups when two or more MRx units are being used together as part of a multi-room system. R2 Mk3 and R7 Mk3 are also compatible with MRx and can also be controlled with the Ruark Link app.
Worldwide Radio Access
With an internet radio tuner built in, MRx gives you virtually unlimited access to radio stations at home and abroad. If you’re living away from home, you can stay connected with your favourite stations through the wonders of internet radio and if you love country or jazz then you can search worldwide by musical genre to find stations that specialise in the type of music you love. MRx also allows you to access radio podcasts and catch-up services, notably programmes from the BBC, so if you ever miss a show you can catch up at your leisure.
High Quality Bluetooth
For a quick and easy connection without the need for wi-fi, MRx has a high-performance aptX Bluetooth receiver so you can directly stream from compatible devices to MRx with CD quality sound. An increasing number of Smartphones and other devices have aptX technology built-in, but with or without, sound quality over Bluetooth with MRx is remarkable.
Multi-Room Ready
With its ‘multi-room’ capabilities you can wirelessly link and sync MRx with additional MRx or with R2 Mk3 and R7 Mk3 models, so you can distribute music all around your home. Set-up and control of multi-room configuration and groups is performed using our soon to be released app for iOS and Android devices called Ruark LINK. This allows control of each device in the group, so volume etc. can be balanced to your liking.
Flexible Placement
MRx can be used in both landscape and portrait orientation, Ruark have also included threaded inserts on the rear panel so MRx can also be wall mounted if required. In addition, on the rear panel is a four-way selector switch allowing MRx to be set up and used singly as a stereo or mono unit or with two MRx a stereo pair can be created. However you use MRx, its beautiful design makes it a focal point which will enhance your surroundings and life.
Wireless Music Access
MRx allows you to wirelessly access music stored on computers and NAS drives connected to your home network. This makes MRx ideal if you like to download music or record and store your CDs on one central device. It supports a variety of popular audio codecs including WAV, WMA, AAC, FLAC and MP3. Please note that audio streaming over a network requires a NAS drive or PC/Mac running DLNA certified software with sharing enabled.
Beautiful to Hear and Behold
Ruark has a wealth of experience in designing High-Fidelity loudspeakers, using premium materials to ensure the best possible audio quality, this experience can clearly shows with the MRx, additionally, Ruark also understand aesthetics and how the combination of hand finished cabinets, a tactile controller, alloy stand and British-sourced fabric front creates something special. Its beauty lies in its simplicity; not just in its ease-of-use, but in its sophisticated, timeless design
