For a Sound You’ll Always Come Back To

Introducing the all-new MR1 Mk3—more than just a desktop speaker, it’s your personal soundscape.

Designed for those who value both style and sound, the MR1 Mk3 blends refined aesthetics with acoustic precision, creating a harmony of form and function. From gaming adventures to vinyl rediscoveries, it transforms everyday listening into something truly special—sound you’ll want to return to, again and again.

  Big Sound, Compact Form

Winner of What Hi-Fi’s Best Desktop Speaker award for seven consecutive years, the MR1 Mk2 set a high standard—now surpassed by the MR1 Mk3, which delivers an even more exceptional sound.

Its newly handcrafted cabinets not only enhance acoustic performance but also bring a more refined look, with beveled front edges and Slate Grey grilles. The slightly larger enclosures create the ideal volume for our new NS+ Bass/Mid drivers, while power and control are significantly improved thanks to Class D amplification adapted from our R410 model. With carefully optimized crossovers and reflex tuning, the MR1 Mk3 offers a major step forward in performance—producing deeper bass, a beautifully clear midrange, and outstanding high-frequency detail through our custom 20mm silk dome tweeters. From the subtle shimmer of cymbals to the rich resonance of a cello, every detail comes through with remarkable clarity and depth.

 Your Sound, Your Way

The MR1 Mk3 is built for versatility, adapting effortlessly to your preferred way of listening.

With Bluetooth aptX HD for high-resolution wireless playback and a range of switchable inputs—including a combined analogue/optical input, USB audio, and a dedicated turntable connection—it’s easy to connect all your devices. Whether you're streaming music, spinning vinyl, gaming, or enhancing your TV audio, the MR1 Mk3 is ready for it all.

 Your Vinyl, Reimagined

The vinyl revival continues to thrive, and pairing the MR1 with a quality turntable is a perfect way to enjoy this enduring format.

With a built-in high-grade moving magnet pre-amp featuring variable gain, the MR1 makes it simple to match with most modern cartridges, ensuring balanced volume across all inputs. As a vinyl playback system, it delivers the rich warmth of analogue sound with modern clarity and precise bass—turning casual listening into an immersive experience that reveals new depth in both classic and contemporary records.

 Desktop Audio, Redefined

The MR1 desktop speakers bring powerful, room-filling sound that far exceeds their compact size—perfectly suited to elevate your home workspace.

With a USB-C audio input, they ensure top-tier, high-resolution playback from your computer or smart devices. Enjoy studio-quality sound that enhances both your environment and your everyday listening experience.

Sound at Your Fingertips

The included remote gives you complete control over the MR1’s features, allowing you to easily power on, switch inputs, adjust volume, and power down—all at your convenience.
