Modern receiver

McIntosh has announced a new Bluetooth receiver add-on that’s designed to bring wireless music to legacy players.

With the ability to function as a transceiver or transmitter, the MB25 is compatible not only with Bluetooth streaming devices, but also physical media sources including CDs and vinyl records – making it a great fit for hifi fans looking to modernise a vintage system.
