- Ruark MR1 MK3 is launching today for $ 579 / £ 399 / $ 899 at
- Ruark five-star speakers become even better Bluetooth and amplification
- Integrated phono mm step, high resolution USB audio and Aptx HD streaming
The Ruark MR1 MKII were the best little Bluetooth speakers you can buy when they launch, and they are still ringing very well today. But almost eight years in his time for a refreshment – and Ruark has judiciously decided to keep the same attractive design while improving in depth what is inside.
The Ruark MR1 MK3 is very similar to their predecessors of 2017 and 2013. But this time, there is a better Bluetooth, an improved USB audio, improved amplification and larger drivers.
Ruark mr1 mk3 speakers: Key characteristics and price
While the cabinets seem almost identical other than the new gray tissue grids in slate, they were subtly redesigned inside to make room for the new NS + BAS / MID pilots 85 mm long. Tweeters are 20 mm silk domes.
Ruark also adapted the amplification of class D of its R410 model to provide more power and better control, and the crossings have been optimized and the bass reflex has set to provide what Ruark describes as “deeper and more controlled bass, a lucid mid -range and exceptional details”.
The new Bluetooth module brings Aptx HD and low latency audio, and the new USB audio input offers a high resolution audio. There is also a dedicated starter for the best decks, with a phono step from the mobile magnet and an adjustable gain.
The frequency range in the room is 50 Hz to 22 kHz, which is impressive for such small speakers, and there is a subwoofer output if you need additional punch.
The new Ruark MR1 MK3 loudspeakers are available from today, on June 5, in a choice of rich lacquer in walnut or charcoal. With prices of $ 579 / £ 399 / $ 899 at, they look like better value in the United Kingdom than in the United States-but if they sound as well as the last model, they will be a good purchase in both cases.
We will examine them as soon as possible, to see if they deserve a place on our list of the best stereo speakers.
