MR1 features a control system which is simple & easy to use. A short press of the volume control turns MR1 on & off & long press changes the audio input from line-in to Bluetooth or vice-versa. A multi coloured LED indicates the selected input & also indicates status, blinking rapidly when maximum volume has been reached & blinking intermittently when MR1 is in standby mode.
On the rear panel of the control unit are outputs for the left hand speaker & a subwoofer, so an active subwoofer can be connected if required. A switchable line-in input with attenuation switch allows numerous audio devices (including a Turntable or TV) to be connected & enjoyed with MR1s high fidelity sound.
MR1 features apt X audio coding technology that partners with Bluetooth so compatible devices can stream to MR1 with audio quality virtually indistinguishable from a wired connection. Many computers & handheld devices now come as standard with apt X, but with or without, sound quality over Bluetooth with MR1 is impressive.
"ed power outputs for modern electronic devices are often misleading. Like our other products, MR1 features a linear Class A-B stereo amplifier with a high capacity power supply. Linear amplifiers are used in the world's best audio equipment & in our opinion still offer far better sound quality than new style digital amplifiers which sound forced & artificial in comparison.
MR1 utilises two new drive units, developed specifically to give high performance sound from MR1s compact
Dimensions. Using the latest design software, great care has been taken on the woofer & tweeter construction to ensure distortion causing reflections are kept to a minimum. Both units also feature rare earth neodymium magnet systems. This type of magnet material is expensive compared to conventional ferrite systems, but allows greater magnetic concentration, for better driver control, in a lightweight & fully shielded system.
