Ruark Audio MR1 Mk2 Bluetooth Speaker System – RRP $699
An advanced Bluetooth stereo speaker system, the Ruark MR1 features a fixed integrated grille, clad in an attractive British sourced fabric that enhances the acoustic performance of the speakers. Smooth to the touch, the Ruark MR1 exudes style and features Bluetooth with apt-X that allows audio to be streamed and played wirelessly though the MR1 with CD like sound. An optical input allows add-on devices such as Chromecast to be easily connected, but significantly the Ruark MR1 makes a brilliant sound system for flat panel TVs, making viewing a much more enjoyable experience.
Additionally the AUX input allows any device with a headphone or analogue output to be simply connected, but in particular they are a perfect partner for the recent resurgence of turntables, making a super stylish compact playback system. The MR1 also works with Ruark’s BackPack II power pack, meaning that the speakers can be freed from the mains power socket and used outdoors or around the home.

With infrared communication, this remote does not need to be aimed during operation, allowing users to operate the R7 from afar, including from an adjoining room.
