Ruark Audio MR1 MK2 Active Bluetooth Speakers - Product Description

The union of Ruark Audio's MR1 MK2 Active Speakers and Pro-Ject's E1 Phono Turntable brings together two titans of audio engineering, bridging the gap between analogue warmth and digital convenience. This combination invites both seasoned audiophiles and aspiring enthusiasts to the fold of high-fidelity sound reproduction, capturing the soulfulness of vinyl records with modern sensibilities.

The Perfect Pair: Analog Warmth Meets Digital Precision

In this digital age, the tactile pleasure of playing a vinyl record is a welcome reprieve from the intangibility of streaming services. The Pro-Ject E1 Phono Turntable spins your cherished records with utmost precision, while the Ruark MR1 MK2 Active Speakers amplify the audio with a clarity that honours the turntable's output. Together, they deliver an analogue listening experience enhanced by the precision of digital amplification.

A Seamless Connection, A Symphony of Sound

This setup eliminates the need for a separate phono pre-amp as the Pro-Ject E1 comes integrated with a quality phono stage. The built-in phono stage makes the connection to the MR1 MK2 speakers effortless, allowing for an immediate sonic synergy. As the needle drops and the vinyl spins, a symphony of sound emerges — full, lively, and enveloping.

Elevated Acoustics with High-Quality Components

The custom neodymium driver units are at the core of the MR1 MK2's audio prowess, paired eloquently with Ruark's world-renowned amplifier technology. The Pro-Ject E1's precision-engineered platter and carbon-tone arm assembly mate perfectly with this sonic finesse, ensuring that each record's grooves are translated into an aural masterpiece. The result is a combination that elevates the nuances and warmth of vinyl records to a contemporary listening standard.

Aesthetic Harmony: Classic Meets Modern Design Languages

Visually, the MR1 MK2 speakers and the Pro-Ject E1 turntable are striking. Ruark's speakers boast a timeless appeal with their elegant form factor and premium finish options, while the E1 turntable's minimalist design exudes modernity. Together, they complement each other aesthetically, making for an auditory highlight and a design statement within any interior space.

User-Centric Experience: Ease of Use and Flexibility

Compatibility and user experience are paramount in this pairing. The E1's reliable electronic speed change offers the flexibility to play 33 and 45 RPM records with a single button, while the MR1 MK2 speakers' multiple input options cater to various sources.
