A Powerful Performance

Built into MR1 is a high fidelity stereoClass A-Bamplifier and specially for MR1 weve developed custom loudspeaker units to deliver sound that belies their compact dimensions. Both the tweeter and bass drivers feature rare earth neodymium magnets which provide a powerful motor system with excellent control. With lightweight, low distortion moving assemblies, the drivers are able to instantaneously react and accurately follow the input signal delivering wonderful clean sound. MR1 brings all music to life, effortlessly and naturally. Theres no compromise in sound quality with a compact system like the MR1, which perform impressively and beyond theirstature.

Great Connectivity

The Bluetooth performance of MR1 is exemplary, but on the rear panel we’ve also included a switchable analogue and optical digital input along with a dedicated subwoofer output. Weve already mentioned the connection of a TV or turntable, but the optical input with its 24-bit 192-kHz capability allows the latest hi-res audio streamers to be connected, so you can enjoy music services such as Tidal, Qobuz and Spotify at their very best. For those wanting to enhance the sound of MR1 further, adding an active subwoofer is highly recommended. We currently have our own matching subwoofer under development, but many good quality subs will work with MR1 to add an extra level of dynamic realism to their already impressive sound.

Sound at Your Fingertips

The included remote allows full control of the features and functions on MR1, so you can quickly turn on, select your source input, control volume andpower-down.

Mains powered sound on the move with BackPack3

Combine MR1 with our optional BackPack 3 and you will be able to enjoy MR1 wherever mains power is not available. Placing batteries inside takes valuable speaker capacity, but BackPack3 allows MR1 to retain its rich mains powered performance with the benefit of portability whenrequired.

A total evolution of the original, BackPack3 attaches seamlessly to MR1 and once fitted can be left permanently in place as it charges automatically whenever connected to a mains power supply. A full charge will provide up to twelve hours of mains free listening depending onvolume.

BackPack 3 is also compatible with our R1 Bluetooth Radio and R1S Smart Radio.
