British Audio Brand Ruark Reveals Redesigned MR1 Mk3 Wireless Mini Speakers
Classic British audio brand Ruark has launched a complete revamp of the company's mini-Bluetooth speakers. The new MR1 Mk3 speakers are the latest evolution of Ruark's highly regarded MR1 desktop speaker system.
First introduced in 2013, the MR1 proved phenomenally popular. This latest iteration looks like its predecessors at first glance, but almost everything about the MR1 Mk3 is new. Ruark says the new design brings 'even greater performance and versatility' to one of its most iconic designs.
Combining clever design with precision engineering, MR1 Mk3 speakers are tuned to deliver a big sound from a compact form. Featuring enhanced USB audio and Bluetooth capabilities, the speakers are suitable for connecting to modern devices, whether for music streaming, television audio or high-resolution playback via a computer or turntable.
The MR1 Mk3 wireless speakers from Ruark have a wide choice of inputs and have been completely ... More redesigned inside and out.
Since 1985, Ruark has designed and engineered all its products in-house, keeping a tight grip on sound quality as well as the aesthetics and manufacturing finesse. The new MR1 Mk3 reflects this approach and is the culmination of more than four decades of acoustic expertise and crafted speaker systems.
Ruark claims the MR1 Mk3 have ideal acoustic properties, while the handcrafted wood cabinets have a sophisticated look thanks to their bevelled front edges and new Slate Grey fabric grilles.
The new enclosure for the speakers has been subtly expanded to draw out optimum volume from Ruark's newly designed NS+ Bass/Mid units. For the amplification, Ruark has adapted the Class D technology used in its R410 streamer, for a substantial increase in power output and control.
The Ruark MR1 Mk3 has a phono stage input for a vinyl turntable and an output for a subwoofer.
Equipped with AptX HD Bluetooth technology, the MR1 Mk3 supports wireless streaming and low-latency audio, making it suitable for use with TVs and streaming devices. Users can now adjust the volume directly from the connected device, enabling full control via a television remote when used in this setup.
For wired applications, the MR1 Mk3 has a USB audio input making it suitable for direct connection to computers or audio equipment that have a USB output. This new feature should make the MR1 Mk3 a popular choice with both music fans and serious audiophiles who want the highest resolution playback.
At the rear of the main MR1 Mk3 unit are all the inputs you might need: USB audio in, Bluetooth AptX ... More HD, MM Phono stage and a combined aux and optical input.
Additional line-in and optical inputs are also provided and offer a bit more flexibility for connecting third-party devices such as a Wi-Fi music streamer. A dedicated turntable input is also included, featuring a high-quality moving magnet phono stage with variable gain, making it a simple and effective option for vinyl playback.
Despite the compact form of the MR1 Mk3 speakers, Ruark claims they can fill a room with sound. For users who desire an extended bass response—particularly for movie or gaming use—a subwoofer output is provided. Ruark's own RS1 Subwoofer is designed to partner the speakers.
The Ruark M1 Mk3 speakers are available in the U.K. now and priced at £399 per pair.

China to require EU brandy exporters to raise prices or face tariffs
China will require major European brandy exporters to raise prices or risk anti-dumping taxes of up to 34.9 percent from Saturday, the latest salvo in its long-running trade spat with the bloc. Almost all EU brandy is cognac produced in France, exports of which to China are worth 1.4 billion euros ($1.6 billion) per year. Beijing launched an investigation last year into EU brandy, months after the bloc undertook a probe into Chinese electric vehicle (EV) subsidies. It said it had determined in a preliminary ruling that dumping had occurred and imposed "temporary anti-dumping measures" on imports of the alcoholic beverage -- moves now costing the industry 50 million euros per month. Beijing's commerce ministry said on Friday that China's tariff commission had "decided to impose anti-dumping duties on imports of relevant brandy originating in the EU" from Saturday. But Beijing said in an explanatory note that several major French cognac producers had signed onto a price commitment to avoid the tariffs -- as long as they sell at or above an agreed minimum price. French liquor giant Jas Hennessy would be hit with levies of 34.9 percent if it reneges on the deal, it said. Remy Martin will be hit with 34.3 percent and Martell 27.7 percent. "The decision to accept the price commitment once again demonstrates China's sincerity in resolving trade frictions through dialogue and consultation," a commerce ministry spokesperson said in a statement. China has sought to improve relations with the European Union as a counterweight to superpower rival the United States. But deep frictions remain over economics -- including a yawning trade deficit of $357.1 billion between China and the EU, as well as Beijing's close ties with Russia despite Moscow's war in Ukraine. The new levy threats come as Chinese top diplomat Wang Yi has held fraught meetings with his counterparts during a tour of Europe this week. They will likely be high on the agenda when he meets French President Emmanuel Macron and Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot on Friday afternoon in Paris. - Bitter taste - A trade row between Beijing and the bloc erupted last summer when the EU moved towards imposing hefty tariffs on electric vehicles imported from China, arguing that Beijing's subsidies were unfairly undercutting European competitors. Beijing denied that claim and announced what were widely seen as retaliatory probes into imported European pork, brandy and dairy products. The bloc imposed extra import taxes of up to 35 percent on Chinese EV imports in October. Beijing later lodged a complaint with the World Trade Organization, which said in April that it would set up an expert panel to assess the EU's decision. China and the EU are scheduled to hold a summit this month to mark the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties. Bloomberg News reported on Friday, citing unnamed sources, that Beijing intends to cancel the second day of the summit. mjw-oho/dhw

France's Industry Minister Says 10% Tariffs Not Good Deal for EU
French Industry Minister Marc Ferracci said agreeing to 10% tariffs on European exports to the US would be a bad deal, signaling disapproval of a potential compromise with Washington. The European Union has until July 9 to clinch a trade arrangement with Donald Trump before tariffs on nearly all exports to the US jump to 50%. Some members of the bloc are willing to accept a deal that includes keeping a 10% universal tariff on many of the bloc's exports, but with lower rates in certain sectors, Bloomberg reported earlier.
