The McAire features a high gloss black finish, rather snazzy McIntosh blue output meters, glass faceplate and a knit cloth grille, also in black, with magnetic attachment
In addition to Ethernet wired or Wi-Fi network connectivity and Apple AirPlay technology, the system also features USB input and stereo RCA auxiliary inputs
The McAire includes two 4-inch woofers with dual acoustic porting, two 2-inch inverted dome midrange drivers and two 0.75-inch dome tweeters for the promise of room-filling sound
The McAire is built with the same high end technology used in the McIntosh Reference System
Multiple McAire system can be synced to a single source device for a multi-room continuous playback walk-through experience
The McAire personal music system is compatible with iPod touch (3rd and 4th gen), iPhone (3GS, 4 and 4S), iPad (first, second and third gen) and the iPod Classic and nano (5th and 6th gen)

Article Summary
The name McIntosh Labs has been synonymous with outstanding audio quality for more than 60 years and its iconic MC275 tube amp certainly left its mark on me when I first encountered one many moons ago. Hot on the heels of the MX121 audio/video control center featuring Apple's AirPlay wireless technology released earlier this year, the company has launched the McAire free-standing personal music system that allows a new generation of discriminating consumers to stream audio from an iTunes library on a Mac or PC - or music from an iDevice - over an existing home network.
