Slightly larger than the product it replaces and significantly better specified (the MR1 Mk3 can handle everything from aptX HD Bluetooth and vinyl records to 24bit\/192kHz hi-res digital audio), this new Ruark is the perfect desktop system. It\u2019s also got great credentials when it comes to TV audio (it\u2019s so much better looking than your average soundbar and can connect via digital optical), and will happily support a fairly extensive system in a small- to medium-sized room.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"elk-seasonal\" href=\"\" data-url=\"\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-hl-processed=\"none\"\/><\/p>\n<aside data-block-type=\"embed\" data-render-type=\"fte\" data-skip=\"dealsy\" data-widget-type=\"seasonal\" class=\"hawk-base\"\/>\n<p id=\"bb61a179-316d-40a7-a1af-9277952881a9-2\">The Ruark MR1 Mk3 sounds far larger than it looks, and has impressive low-frequency presence that\u2019s complemented by great detail retrieval and an undeniable facility for entertainment. The Ruark can do \u2018analysis\u2019 for you as well as any desktop system around, but it doesn\u2019t lose sight of the fact that music is to be enjoyed every bit as much as it is to be admired. Soundstaging is good, dynamic headroom is appreciable, and the frequency response from top to bottom is smoothly even. The MR1 Mk3 sounds admirably consistent no matter which of its inputs you\u2019re using, too.<\/p>\n<p>In short, the Ruark MR1 Mk3 has been worth the wait, and sits firmly in the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/news\/best-stereo-speakers\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/news\/best-stereo-speakers\">best stereo speakers on the market<\/a>.

Power is up from 20 watts per channel to 25, and the driver array (a 20mm silk dome tweeter and 85mm \u2018NS+\u2019 treated natural fibre mid\/bass driver in each speaker, bolstered by downward-facing bass reflex ports) is good for a claimed frequency response of 50Hz to 22khz.<\/p>\n<div id=\"slice-container-newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-kAChoPDu5z68RQWkVNtxeY\" class=\"slice-container newsletter-inbodyContent-slice newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-kAChoPDu5z68RQWkVNtxeY slice-container-newsletterForm\">\n<div data-hydrate=\"true\" class=\"newsletter-form__wrapper newsletter-form__wrapper--inbodyContent\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__container\">\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__top-bar\"\/>\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__main-section\">\n<p class=\"newsletter-form__strapline\">Sign up for breaking news, reviews, opinion, top tech deals, and more.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Input options have undergone an upgrade, too. The MR1 Mk3 uses Bluetooth 5.1 for wireless connectivity, and is compatible with the aptX HD codec. There\u2019s a 3.5mm socket that\u2019s a hybrid optical\/analogue input \u2013 in digital mode it\u2019s capable of dealing with file resolutions of up to 24bit\/192kHz. A USB-C input can handle anything up to 24bit\/96kHz. And there\u2019s a moving magnet phono stage behind a pair of stereo RCA sockets, so a record player can easily be integrated into the Ruark system. A pre-out for a subwoofer completes a very agreeable line-up.<\/p>\n<p id=\"a7b962b7-8c2e-4355-b58e-973324cd3c2e\"><strong>Features score: 5\/5<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\" id=\"b0a3b2c1-32d6-4230-ab52-e5443c40ab6e\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\" style=\"max-width:4032px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"> <picture data-new-v2-image=\"true\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/HSSgrwwCBNDSNPhrEVpJTM-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/HSSgrwwCBNDSNPhrEVpJTM-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/HSSgrwwCBNDSNPhrEVpJTM-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/HSSgrwwCBNDSNPhrEVpJTM-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/HSSgrwwCBNDSNPhrEVpJTM-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/HSSgrwwCBNDSNPhrEVpJTM-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Ruark MR1 Mk3 powered speaker grille\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/HSSgrwwCBNDSNPhrEVpJTM-1200-80.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/HSSgrwwCBNDSNPhrEVpJTM-1024-80.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/HSSgrwwCBNDSNPhrEVpJTM-970-80.jpg 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/HSSgrwwCBNDSNPhrEVpJTM-650-80.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/HSSgrwwCBNDSNPhrEVpJTM-480-80.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/HSSgrwwCBNDSNPhrEVpJTM-320-80.jpg 320w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" loading=\"lazy\" data-new-v2-image=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/mailinvest.blog\/wp-content\/themes\/breek\/assets\/images\/transparent.gif\" data-lazy=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/HSSgrwwCBNDSNPhrEVpJTM.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/HSSgrwwCBNDSNPhrEVpJTM.jpg\"\/>\n<\/picture><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Future \/ Simon Lucas)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a id=\"elk-ruark-mr1-mk3-review-sound-quality\" href=\"\" data-url=\"\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-hl-processed=\"none\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-body__section\" id=\"section-ruark-mr1-mk3-review-sound-quality\"><span>Ruark MR1 Mk3 review: Sound quality<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul id=\"0f24fd32-c4d4-4766-bc05-e49d7c756ed8\">\n<li><strong>Impressive low-frequency presence<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Detailed and dynamic<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Great sonic consistency across every input<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"034c9727-1d2a-4931-9990-79112aba49a6\">There\u2019s a definite sensation of \u2018the Ruark sound\u2019 to the MR1 Mk3, which is great but hardly unexpected. What\u2019s equally impressive, and perhaps less predictable, is just how consistent the Mk3 sounds no matter which of its inputs you\u2019re using.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously there\u2019s an appreciable difference between the sound of <em>Sad and Lonely <\/em>by Secret Machines being streamed as a 320kbps file via Bluetooth to the same song delivered via the integrated phono stage. But the fundamental Ruark character never wavers: in every circumstance, the sound is bold and punchy, spacious and properly defined, and is loaded with detail both broad and fine. Everyone hopes their tunes will sound \u2018musical\u2019 and \u2018entertaining\u2019, but the MR1 Mk3 understands and delivers on this better than any price-comparable alternative.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a touch of warmth to the system\u2019s tonality, but this just allows the weighty and nicely varied low frequencies to swing even more naturalistically. Bass sounds are properly controlled, which means rhythmic expression is sure footed \u2013 the Ruark is capable of quite startling extension and low-end attack. The midrange is open and revealing, with plenty of detail concerning tone and timbre, especially of voices, revealed. At the top end, the Ruark gives substance to treble sounds just as readily as it gives shine \u2013 and here, just as with the rest of the frequency range, detail levels are impressively high.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s more than enough dynamic headroom available for the MR1 Mk3 to make the fluctuations in volume and intensity during a listen to <em>Music Has the Right to Children <\/em>by Boards of Canada obvious. And there\u2019s just as much attention paid to the dynamic variations apparent in a voice or solo instrument, too.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the downward-facing reflex ports, the Mk3 always has a fixed boundary the perfect distance away &#8211; so it\u2019s not quite as uptight about positioning as some alternative designs. And when you get the positioning just right, stereo focus is enjoyable and the soundstage the system creates is large and confidently defined. There\u2019s plenty of space between individual elements of a recording, but at the same time the Ruark is able to make sure they all relate to each other and all contribute to the singularity of \u2018performance\u2019.<\/p>\n<p id=\"14217b94-171b-482b-b28a-59af6165d868\"><strong>Sound quality score: 5\/5<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\" id=\"6f716a1f-0e85-448d-b18d-973db51754c8\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\" style=\"max-width:2921px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"> <picture data-new-v2-image=\"true\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EwXb7ZKkeVRkywnUxnNKNR-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EwXb7ZKkeVRkywnUxnNKNR-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EwXb7ZKkeVRkywnUxnNKNR-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EwXb7ZKkeVRkywnUxnNKNR-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EwXb7ZKkeVRkywnUxnNKNR-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EwXb7ZKkeVRkywnUxnNKNR-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Remote control for hte Ruark MR1 Mk3 powered stereo speakers\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EwXb7ZKkeVRkywnUxnNKNR-1200-80.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EwXb7ZKkeVRkywnUxnNKNR-1024-80.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EwXb7ZKkeVRkywnUxnNKNR-970-80.jpg 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EwXb7ZKkeVRkywnUxnNKNR-650-80.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EwXb7ZKkeVRkywnUxnNKNR-480-80.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EwXb7ZKkeVRkywnUxnNKNR-320-80.jpg 320w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" loading=\"lazy\" data-new-v2-image=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/mailinvest.blog\/wp-content\/themes\/breek\/assets\/images\/transparent.gif\" data-lazy=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EwXb7ZKkeVRkywnUxnNKNR.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/EwXb7ZKkeVRkywnUxnNKNR.jpg\"\/>\n<\/picture><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\"\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Future \/ Simon Lucas)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a id=\"elk-ruark-mr1-mk3-review-design\" href=\"\" data-url=\"\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-hl-processed=\"none\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-body__section\" id=\"section-ruark-mr1-mk3-review-design\"><span>Ruark MR1 Mk3 review: Design<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul id=\"b20981b3-c0ea-4718-a9a9-b4f0bef96490\">\n<li><strong>185 x 135 x 155mm (HxWxD)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Choice of two finishes<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>2.2kg<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"502ee564-588f-4cbf-8655-1159e881449b\">Ruark is no stranger to a tidy and attractive bit of cabinet work, and for the MR1 Mk3 it\u2019s done that thing it does, just on a slightly larger scale.<\/p>\n<p>Each Mk3 cabinet is 185 x 135 x 155mm (HxWxD), which is up from the Mk2\u2019s 175 x 130 x 140mm in every direction.

My review sample is in a real walnut veneer, but a charcoal lacquer alternative is available \u2013 both are supplied with fixed slate-grey cloth grilles.<\/p>\n<p id=\"cd95fbc2-29a2-4422-b830-6be445722eee\"><strong>Design score: 5\/5<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\" id=\"bd067aac-7c2a-48b8-ab5c-441ae29afe01\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\" style=\"max-width:4032px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"> <picture data-new-v2-image=\"true\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/vZDBpGGwZ8VVGDw5xPLyQn-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/vZDBpGGwZ8VVGDw5xPLyQn-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/vZDBpGGwZ8VVGDw5xPLyQn-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/vZDBpGGwZ8VVGDw5xPLyQn-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/vZDBpGGwZ8VVGDw5xPLyQn-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/vZDBpGGwZ8VVGDw5xPLyQn-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Ruark MR1 Mk3 powered stereo speaker walnut finish\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/vZDBpGGwZ8VVGDw5xPLyQn-1200-80.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/vZDBpGGwZ8VVGDw5xPLyQn-1024-80.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/vZDBpGGwZ8VVGDw5xPLyQn-970-80.jpg 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/vZDBpGGwZ8VVGDw5xPLyQn-650-80.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/vZDBpGGwZ8VVGDw5xPLyQn-480-80.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/vZDBpGGwZ8VVGDw5xPLyQn-320-80.jpg 320w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" loading=\"lazy\" data-new-v2-image=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/mailinvest.blog\/wp-content\/themes\/breek\/assets\/images\/transparent.gif\" data-lazy=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/vZDBpGGwZ8VVGDw5xPLyQn.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/vZDBpGGwZ8VVGDw5xPLyQn.jpg\"\/>\n<\/picture><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Future \/ Simon Lucas)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a id=\"elk-ruark-mr1-mk3-review-usability-and-setup\" href=\"\" data-url=\"\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-hl-processed=\"none\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-body__section\" id=\"section-ruark-mr1-mk3-review-usability-and-setup\"><span>Ruark MR1 Mk3 review: Usability and setup<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul id=\"3c7ddb7b-be78-4e79-adc2-6e9ecdd0b9fb\">\n<li><strong>Operation via remote control or RotoDial<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>3m braided connecting cable<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Independent gain control for some inputs<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"ba4e15a1-bdc0-49d5-b4c9-3d1ed4a93edc\">There\u2019s not a lot to get your head around when it comes to setting up the MR1 Mk3. The primary speaker \u2013 the one with all the inputs and amplification on board \u2013 needs to be plugged into the mains. It then needs to be connected to the secondary speaker using the 3m length of braided cable supplied in the box. And that\u2019s about your lot: make any physical connections you might require, and you\u2019re in business.<\/p>\n<p>Control is available via a small and unremarkable remote control \u2013 it covers power on\/off, volume up\/down, and input selection. These functions are duplicated by the classic Ruark RotoDial that\u2019s integrated into the top of the primary speaker and is just as pleasant to use here as it is in any of the company\u2019s other products. And it makes the primary speaker, in fact, 202mm high.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1bf48b46-8a36-40a6-9801-89754c18831b\"><strong>Usability and setup score: 5\/5 <\/strong><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\" id=\"dd029d7b-9e83-4995-a78d-fc1f3022e71f\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\" style=\"max-width:4032px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"> <picture data-new-v2-image=\"true\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/MmrYef4dTVkdJBbvy9Mjj3-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/MmrYef4dTVkdJBbvy9Mjj3-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/MmrYef4dTVkdJBbvy9Mjj3-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/MmrYef4dTVkdJBbvy9Mjj3-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/MmrYef4dTVkdJBbvy9Mjj3-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/MmrYef4dTVkdJBbvy9Mjj3-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Input knob of the Ruark MR1 Mk3 powered stereo speakers\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/MmrYef4dTVkdJBbvy9Mjj3-1200-80.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/MmrYef4dTVkdJBbvy9Mjj3-1024-80.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/MmrYef4dTVkdJBbvy9Mjj3-970-80.jpg 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/MmrYef4dTVkdJBbvy9Mjj3-650-80.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/MmrYef4dTVkdJBbvy9Mjj3-480-80.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/MmrYef4dTVkdJBbvy9Mjj3-320-80.jpg 320w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" loading=\"lazy\" data-new-v2-image=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/mailinvest.blog\/wp-content\/themes\/breek\/assets\/images\/transparent.gif\" data-lazy=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/MmrYef4dTVkdJBbvy9Mjj3.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/MmrYef4dTVkdJBbvy9Mjj3.jpg\"\/>\n<\/picture><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\"\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Future \/ Simon Lucas)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a id=\"elk-ruark-mr1-mk3-review-value\" href=\"\" data-url=\"\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-hl-processed=\"none\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-body__section\" id=\"section-ruark-mr1-mk3-review-value\"><span>Ruark MR1 Mk3 review: Value<\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"8c7083a7-c977-45ac-82d6-b028064ab003\">It\u2019s difficult in the extreme to suggest the Ruark MR1 Mk3 doesn\u2019t represent very decent value for money.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s compact enough to be a desktop system, it\u2019s got sufficient sonic scale and presence to work as an alternative to a soundbar via its digital optical or Bluetooth inputs, and it\u2019s ideal as a system for a smaller room.
