EASY CONTROL AT YOUR FINGERTIPS

The CR106 is controlled by McIntosh free Connect app that is available for both Apple and Android devices, through a web interface, or by the intuitive front-panel knobs and buttons. Regardless of how you control the CR106, no complicated programming is required, so your system can be up and running quickly.When using the Connect app, you can:

 

  • Turn zones on and off.
  • Name zones for easy identification.
  • Select audio sources for individual zones.
  • Adjust volume, bass, and treble for each zone.
  • Configure subwoofer settings for zones with connected subwoofers.
  • Group zones together.
  • Select 1 of 6 optional EQ Voicings for each zone.
 
You can also create and customize Experiences using the Connect app or web interface. When you set up an Experience, the current input selection and volume levels for each zone are captured and saved. These saved Experiences can be easily reapplied or activated anytime, offering quick and seamless audio control.

 

FLEXIBLE CONNECTIVITY OPTIONS

Source components, such as CD players, music streamers, and tuners, can be connected via the 4 unbalanced analog inputs or the 4 digital inputs. For larger systems, up to five CR106 units can be linked together via Dante® network interface, creating up to 30 distinct two-channel audio zones. Adopted by hundreds of manufacturers in thousands of products, Dante replaces audio connections in larger multi-room systems with a computer network, effortlessly sending audio over your network to multiple locations.

 

You can also stream directly to the CR106 via Bluetooth, effectively turning your phone or tablet into a music source. The CR106 utilizes the high bitrate Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) standard; Qualcomm® aptX™ HD for hi res audio playback; and Qualcomm aptX Adaptive, a robust solution that delivers high resolution, uninterrupted audio over Bluetooth.

 

Each zone has 2 sets of unbalanced outputs plus dedicated subwoofer outputs. Two outputs per zone allow for advanced configurations such as:

 

  • Playing the same audio on 4 speakers and 2 subwoofers in one zone.
  • Distributing the same audio across two zones simultaneously.
