Designed for Pure Sound
Combining thoughtful design with expert engineering, the MR1 Mk3 produces exceptional sound from a compact, elegant form. With upgraded USB Audio and advanced Bluetooth connectivity, the speakers are ready to integrate effortlessly into modern listening setups – whether streaming music, enhancing TV audio, or delivering high-resolution playback from a computer or turntable. It's a sound experience that you'll always come back to.

Built on a Legacy of Excellence
Ruark has been designing and engineering its products in-house since 1985, with a commitment to audio excellence and design detail. The MR1 Mk3 is a reflection of this proud heritage, showcasing four decades of acoustic know-how. The finely crafted wooden cabinets now feature bevelled edges and new Slate Grey fabric grilles. Slightly enlarged enclosures house new NS+ Bass/Mid units, while an advanced Class D amplifier – adapted from Ruark’s R410 – offers increased power and precision. With enhanced crossovers and optimised bass reflex tuning, the MR1 Mk3 delivers deep, controlled bass, a clear midrange, and exquisite treble detail from its custom silk dome tweeters.
Versatility Meets Craftsmanship
Whether you're listening wirelessly or using a wired setup, the MR1 Mk3 adapts to your needs. A new USB Audio input enables direct connection to computers or audio gear, ensuring audiophile-grade playback. With AptX HD Bluetooth, it also delivers high-quality, low-latency streaming, making it perfect for use with TVs and streaming devices – including full volume control via a connected TV remote. Additional line-in and optical inputs provide further connectivity options, while a dedicated phono input with a built-in high-quality preamp makes vinyl playback easy. Compact yet powerful, the MR1 Mk3 even includes a subwoofer output for those seeking deeper bass, with Ruark’s RS1 Subwoofer being a perfect companion. With a blend of precision, technology, and craftsmanship, the MR1 Mk3 offers an immersive experience that truly stands the test of time.
RS1 Subwoofer
Born from the desire to enhance the already impeccable sound of the Ruark MR1 Mk3 Bluetooth speakers, the Ruark RS1 subwoofer can transform the audio performance of any home speaker with driving rhythm and rich harmony. Beautifully controlled and fundamentally musical, RS1 is the bedrock of larger than life sound that you can both hear and feel.
