About the Boston Acoustics MC200Air
Bring the music on your Apple portable to life with the MC200Air from Boston Acoustics. This Wi-Fi® speaker system is AirPlay-compatible, so streaming from your iPhone®, iPad®, or iPod touch® couldn't be easier. And this slender system really delivers on sound quality, so you can enjoy big sound without making space for a big system.
Sleek design fits in anywhere
The slim contours of the MC200Air make it an ideal system for a nightstand, end table, or kitchen counter. And for rooms where space is really an issue, you can even mount this speaker on your wall using its rear-panel keyhole slots.
Great sound from a small system
The MC200Air features two full-range speakers that deliver rich, detailed sound. Boston Acoustics' patented BassTrac® circuitry continually monitors the signal to prevent distortion and ensure clean, clear bass.
The convenience of Apple AirPlay
You can make a one-to-one connection between the MC200Air and your Apple portable device to enjoy your stored music files, as well as audio from apps such as Pandora® Internet radio, Slacker, and more. Tune into Internet radio stations on your iPhone, for example, and hear them through the M200Air.
Using the iTunes® program on your computer, you can wirelessly stream to multiple MC200Air speakers simultaneously. And you have the added advantage of using your Apple portable as a remote. So you can select songs, individually adjust the volume of each connected MC200Air system, and fill your home with sound — all right from your iPad or iPhone.
Other wired and wireless connection options
Have an Android™ smartphone or tablet? The MC200Air is DLNA-compatible, which means you can stream music wirelessly from your mobile device (DLNA streaming app download may be required). The system also has a stereo minijack auxiliary input to connect other portables to it. And there's a USB port on the back for your Apple portable's charging cable. You can charge your device while connected, and play music through the system — a great option for Apple devices without Wi-Fi, like an iPod classic®. The system also has an Ethernet port so you can make a wired connection to your home network.
