Perfect for design-conscious customers...
linear perfection
Like our other products, the MR1 Mk2 features a Class A-B linear amplifier with a quality switch mode power supply. Linear amplifiers are used in the world’s best audio equipment, and in our opinion, offer superior performance when compared to new-style digital amplifiers, which sound artificial in cThis feature ison. This is just one reason why MR1 sounds so good.
a powerful performance
Our tweeter and bass units for MR1 have been designed specifically to ensure optimum performance from its compact dimensions, with both featuring powerful neodymium magnet systems. This type of magnet allows greater magnetic concentration for better driver control in a lightweight and fully shielded system.
be in control
MR1 Mk2 features a control system which, like our other products, is easy to use, allowing the source and volume to be quickly changed as required. In addition, you can also operate the source, volume, and functions from the comfort of your chair using the supplied compact remote control.
auto-standby
With auto-standby built in, MR1 will enter sleep mode after a short period of time if no signal is detected. This feature is particularly useful when using MR1 with your TV, as they will automatically reactivate and sleep as required when the TV is turned on and off.
quality sound everywhere
MR1 Mk2 is capable of providing great sound all around your home. Ideal to use with a turntable or TV, but add our optional power pack (BackPack), and you can also enjoy them outdoors on a summer's day. In addition, the master unit automatically switches to mono operation when the left stereo speaker is disconnected. As a single unit, this makes the MR1 extra portable and perfect for taking on holiday.
get connected
On the control unit are both analogue and digital inputs, allowing auxiliary devices to be easily connected. In particular, the digital optical input is ideal for connecting streaming devices such as Google Chromecast, and it also provides the perfect connection point for most flat-screen TVs. MR1 also features a subwoofer output, allowing an active subwoofer to be connected to provide extra dynamics and awesome movie sound.
Bluetooth at its best
Bluetooth’s ease of use has made it the foremost method for wireless audio streaming, working with virtually all devices and leading music applications, including Spotify, Apple Music and BBC iPlayer. The MR1 Mk2 with its high-quality aptX Bluetooth receiver allows you to enjoy this technology at its very best with CD-quality sound.
a mini marvel
MR1 is a high-fidelity speaker miniaturised, and like larger high-fidelity systems, its internal crossover plays a vital role in making it sound so good! Many compact speakers use a basic single-component crossover for cost and ease of assembly, but for the MR1 we’ve designed a multi-component network using quality audio-grade components throughout.
beautiful and enduring
The MR1 Mk3 features an attractive fixed inset grille clad in a unique British milled fabric from Camira. This timeless and resilient material was one of just a few that met our requirement for both its attractive contemporary look and excellent acoustic properties.
