Can I connect a subwoofer to the MR1 MK3?
The MR1 MK3 does not have a dedicated subwoofer output. For enhanced bass, consider room acoustics or alternative speaker placements.

How do I update the firmware?
Firmware updates are typically handled via USB-C connection or, in some cases, through a dedicated app if available. Please refer to the official Ruark Audio website for the latest firmware information and instructions.
Are the speakers sold individually or as a pair?
The MR1 MK3 speakers are sold as a complete system, consisting of a master and a slave speaker that work together to create a stereo sound experience.
What is the warranty period for the MR1 MK3?
Please refer to your point of purchase or the official Ruark Audio website for the specific warranty details applicable in your region. Typically, premium audio equipment comes with a manufacturer's warranty.
Can I use these speakers with my TV?
Yes, you can connect the MR1 MK3 speakers to your TV using the optical or analogue input for improved audio quality over your TV's built-in speakers.
Troubleshooting
No sound from speakers
Check that the power adapter is securely connected and the unit is powered on. Ensure the correct input source is selected and volume is turned up. Verify the speaker cable between the two units is properly connected.
Bluetooth connection issues
Ensure the MR1 MK3 is in pairing mode. Turn off Bluetooth on your device and then turn it back on. Move the device closer to the speakers and ensure there are no significant obstructions. Try deleting the pairing from your device and re-pairing.
Poor sound quality or distortion
Check that the audio source is not the cause by testing with a different source. Ensure the volume is not set to maximum, which can cause distortion. For turntable connections, ensure the variable gain is set appropriately and the phono stage is engaged.
Turntable volume is too low or too high
Adjust the 'variable gain' setting on the rear of the master speaker to match your turntable's cartridge output for optimal volume consistency.
