McIntosh Laboratory joins the wireless Apple-compatible ranks with the McAire-- the first AirPlay-equipped tabletop speaker from the creators of the "Wall of Sound" PA system.
The company describes the McAire as an "integrated audio system." It packs two 4" woofers, two 2" inverted-dome midranges and two dome 0.75” tweeters in a chassis measuring 20 x 50 x 43cm.
The speaker lacks a tuner or a CD player, but does have typical McIntosh component-audio cosmetics (black-glass front panel with blue output metres) and embedded wifi and AirPlay connectivity, in addition to an Apple-certified USB port.
The McAire might be the first McIntosh Airplay speaker, but it is actually the second Airplay speaker from the company-- it joins the MX121 home theatre processor.
