less Router for Apple’s AirPlay Operation.
The McAire also provides for a direct wired con-
nection to compatible Apple’s Mobile Devices via the
USB Input. A computer attached via a Network Router
(as part of a home network) to the McAire Rear Panel
NETWORK connector, provides streaming of music
via the iTunes Program

. A Stereo Analog Input is
also located on the Rear Panel of the McAire allowing
connection of source components such as Tuners and
Disc Players. Associated with the Stereo Analog Input
is McIntosh’s Power Control and Data Port Connec
-
tions. They provide the ability to automatically switch
power On/Off to a McIntosh Source Component and
to control the basic operation of component function
via the supplied McAire Remote Control.
