British Hi-Fi specialist Ruark Audio has teamed up with iconic fashion house Fred Perry, to launch a Limited Edition of its award-winning MR1 Bluetooth speaker system.
Inspired by Fred Perry’s iconic Black/Champagne polo shirt, the collab brings together two British heritage brands built on the twin pillars of craftsmanship and design.
Ruark Audio, founded by Alan O’Rourke and his father Brian in the mid-1980s, has a reputation for audio products that marry high-performance with vintage aesthetics.
Similarly, Fred Perry, the legendary fashion label founded by the three-time Wimbledon champion in 1952, has become synonymous with British subculture. The brand’s polo shirts and distinctive Laurel Wreath logo have been embraced by generations of musicians, filmmakers, and trendsetters.

This kimited edition is the latest iteration of Ruark’s acclaimed MR1 midel. It takes inspiration from Fred Perry’s signature Black/Champagne polo shirt, featuring speaker grills covered in the same polyester piqué fabric as the iconic shirt.
Behind this grille are 75mm neodymium woofers and 20mm neodymium tweeters, powered by a 20W amplifier. The look is completed with champagne Laurel Wreath embroidery.
The MR1 speakers not only support Bluetooth aptX streaming from smartphones and tablets, but feature digital optical audio and 3.5mm line inputs for local kit connections, as well as an optional RS1 subwoofer output.
The speaker backplate is finished in complementary black and champagne tones, with dual branding from both Ruark Audio and Fred Perry.
The Limited Edition Ruark Audio x Fred Perry MR1 Bluetooth Speaker system is available now, priced £375.
