Design & Build
The Ruark MR1 MK3 features a meticulously crafted wooden cabinet with subtle bevelled edges. A slate-grey fabric grille complements the aesthetic, blending seamlessly into desktop or living-room setups. The compact footprint ensures placement flexibility without compromising on visual elegance.

Drivers & Acoustic Performance
At the heart of each speaker is an 85 mm treated natural-fibre bass/mid driver paired with a 20 mm silk-dome tweeter. The two-way bass-reflex design, housed in a 2.0 L enclosure, delivers punchy, well-defined lows and silk-smooth highs, ensuring clarity across the spectrum.

Amplification & Power
Each speaker incorporates a Class D amplifier rated at 25 W nominal output (50 W total), utilising technology adapted from Ruark’s flagship R410 system. Intelligent soft-clipping circuitry protects both speaker and amplifier, while power consumption remains efficient: 0.5 W in standby and approximately 7 W during typical use.

Frequency Response & Crossover
The in-room frequency response spans from 50 Hz to 22 kHz, ensuring both deep bass extension and detailed treble. A fixed 2.5 kHz crossover frequency optimises driver integration, maintaining a cohesive tonal balance even at higher volumes.

Connectivity Options
Versatile inputs include Bluetooth 5.1 with aptX HD, SBC, AAC and BLE support; a USB-C port handling up to 24-bit/96 kHz audio; a dedicated MM phono RCA input; and a combined 3.5 mm analogue/optical (TOSLINK) jack. This array accommodates turntables, computers, TVs and mobile devices without additional adapters.

Controls & User Features
A top-mounted RotoDial provides intuitive volume and input selection, while a front-panel gain control allows cartridge matching for phono use. Auto-standby engages after 20 minutes of inactivity, conserving energy between listening sessions.

Outputs & Digital Conversion
A rear-panel mono-RCA subwoofer output (2.0 Vrms max) invites optional bass expansion. An onboard 24-bit/192 kHz DAC ensures faithful reproduction of digital sources, from high-res files to streamed content.

Dimensions & Weight
Including the RotoDial, each speaker measures 202 × 135 × 165 mm (H × W × D) and weighs 2.2 kg, offering a substantial yet desktop-friendly presence.
