Designed to envelop McIntosh fans in a portable aura of the company that defines the "platinum standard" in upscale audio, the AP1 Audio Player offers virtually all features of the existing iPod App, while tailoring the portable playback/control experience for the unique McIntosh style. With the new App, iPhone and iPad users will now be able to select tracks, artists, play lists and albums as well as control the volume of the music, with all controls fully customized and consistent with McIntosh styling and functionality.

Renowned McIntosh Blue "Meter Display Mode": Hallmark of Audio Excellence

Notably, when not used as a controller, the AP1 will default to a McIntosh "Meter Display Mode" and act as a live meter display for the music in effect, providing users with a backdrop consistent with the iconic "McIntosh Blue" LED watt meter – a recognized hallmark of audio excellence.  The App will function independent of any external hardware (i.e. Dock) and allow a portable McIntosh experience for all iPhone and iPad users.  When used with an iPod Dock (of any make or model) the App serves as a virtual McIntosh display, reflecting the company's renowned brand, style and experience. 

McIntosh President Charlie Randall noted: "McIntosh customers have always been a breed apart when it comes to their quest for ultimate quality in their music listening – these are people who care deeply about music quality, reliability, and of course the legendary McIntosh style. The introduction of our customized AP1 Audio Player iPhone/iPod App reflects McIntosh's commitment to providing our customers with the latest, most up-to-date benefits and capabilities of today's 'digital age,' while retaining the excellence and functionality that has always defined the McIntosh experience. Best of all, it lets iPhone and iPad users literally wear their love for McIntosh on their sleeve!"
