Description
A Powerful Performance – Built into MR1 is a high fidelity stereo Class A-B amplifier and specially for MR1 we’ve 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. There’s no compromise in sound quality with a compact system like the MR1, which perform impressively and beyond their stature.
Great Connectivity – Voice controlled devices from the likes of Amazon and Google are popular, but deciding which may be right for you and which will stand the test of time can sometimes be daunting. This is a key reason why all our products incorporate Bluetooth and line inputs, so auxiliary devices such as these can easily be connected and enjoyed with our products class leading sound. Also as technology changes (which it is bound to) then it is easy to upgrade, but most importantly we’re confident that MR1 will still be providing great sound long after some of these technologies have been forgotten.
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 BackPack 3 allows MR1 to retain its rich mains powered performance with the benefit of portability when required. A total evolution of the original, BackPack 3 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 on volume.
