Ruark Audio MR1 MK3
The all-new Ruark Audio MR1 MK3 is more than a desktop speaker—it’s your very own soundscape.
Crafted for customers who appreciate aesthetics and sound in equal measure, MR1 Mk3 is where thoughtful design meets true artistry and where precision audio engineering makes every note resonate with clarity.
Whether you’re exploring digital worlds or rediscovering the joy of playing records again, MR1 Mk3 turns everyday listening into something extraordinary—for a sound you’ll always come back to.
A Legacy of Hi-Fi Innovation
Since 1985, we’ve designed and engineered all our music systems in-house, driven by an enduring commitment to audio excellence. The MR1 Mk3 brings four decades of innovation and craftsmanship together in one beautifully balanced speakers system.
Built for those who value authentic sound, the MR1 delivers performance that endures. With its effortless versatility, it’s the foundation of a complete entertainment experience—designed to enhance every moment, through sound that moves you.
Big Sound, Compact Form
Winner of What Hi-Fi’s Best Desktop Speaker award for seven years, the MR1 Mk2 became a firm favourite, but the Mk3 improves upon this greatness with a sound that’s simply exceptional.
The new handcrafted cabinets provide ideal acoustic properties and with their bevelled front edges and Slate Grey grilles, now look even more stylish.
Size wise the enclosures have been subtly enlarged to allow optimum volume for our new NS+ Bass/Mid units and for amplification they’ve adapted the Class D technology used in their R410, for a sizeable increase in power output and control.
Painstaking optimisation of the speaker crossover and reflex tuning have resulted in a significant leap in acoustic performance.
The MR1 Mk3 delivers deeper bass, a clear lucid midrange, and exceptional high frequency detail from our custom 20mm silk dome tweeters, so from the shimmer of cymbals to the resonance of a cello, every nuance is delivered with clarity and depth.

Your Sound, Your Way
MR1 Mk3 has been designed to be versatile, so no matter how you listen, they adapt to you.
Equipped with Bluetooth aptX HD, they deliver pristine high resolution wireless playback and with switchable connections including a combined analogue/optical input, USB audio input and a dedicated turntable input you can easily plug in auxiliary devices of your choice.
Whether you’re streaming, playing vinyl, gaming, or connecting your television for an enhanced viewing experience, MR1 can do it all.
