Bluetooth Transceiver

The MB20 Bluetooth Transceiver is an easy and simple solution to add McIntosh quality Bluetooth streaming capabilities to virtually any McIntosh (or non-McIntosh) home audio system of any era.

Quickly turn a vintage McIntosh system into a modern home music system capable of playing the digital music stored on your phone, in your cloud accounts, or from your preferred streaming services.
