Ruark Audio and Fred Perry's Speaker Collaboration Blends British Audio and Fashion Heritage

As a longtime audiophile and fashion enthusiast who appreciates both quality sound and iconic British style, I can confidently say that the Ruark Audio x Fred Perry MR1 Bluetooth Speakers are a match made in heaven! With their sleek design and compact size, these speakers are perfect for my small apartment and they blend seamlessly with my Fred Perry polo shirt collection.


Surprisingly, given its small stature, Great Britain boasts more top-tier audio brands than one might suppose. Among them is Ruark Audio, which recently partnered with iconic British brand Fred Perry for a unique collaboration that marries the finest aspects of both entities.

The well-known Bluetooth sound system from Ruark Audio, the MR1, has been given a fresh update in Fred Perry’s distinctive black and champagne color scheme, often linked with their famous polo shirts. These exclusive Ruark Audio x Fred Perry MR1 speakers are crafted from real wood and boast a sleek, all-over matte black finish. The iconic laurel wreath logo of Fred Perry is displayed on the cloth speaker grills. Measuring 6.7″ x 5.1″ x 5.2″ (170mm  x 130mm x 135mm), these speakers are perfect for small spaces like bookshelves, desks, and tight areas.

Inside, the MR1 speakers sport a custom-made 75mm polypropylene woofer and a 20mm silk dome tweeter, both working with a neo magnet system. These speakers are Bluetooth compatible with aptX technology for high-resolution audio streaming, or can be connected via cables using the analogue and optical digital inputs found on the back panel. Additionally, they offer a subwoofer output, an AUX input through a 3.5mm stereo jack, and an adaptive EQ system that adjusts sound based on the surrounding environment to deliver optimal listening experience.

The speakers include a small remote control for convenience, but they can also automatically switch off after 20 minutes of inactivity. Although the MR1 speakers are powered by main electricity, Ruark Audio offers a portable power accessory called BackPack 3. This accessory allows users to enjoy up to twelve hours of uninterrupted listening, depending on volume level.

Ruark Audio, founded in 1985 in Southend on Sea, Essex, continues to be a family-run business where they produce their own designs. A harmonious alliance with Fred Perry represents two iconic British brands combining their rich legacies in audio and fashion.

Right now, you can get your hands on the special edition Ruark Audio x Fred Perry MR1 speakers, only at Fred Perry stores. Each one is priced at around 375 British Pounds (around 474 US Dollars).
