Compatibility · McIntosh C49
Your C49, modernized.
Link adds Wi‑Fi control to the C49 preamplifier. Volume, mute, inputs, bass and treble, outputs, meter lights and power, from iPhone, Android or any browser, anywhere in your house.
Link and the C49.
Connection
The C49 has a 3.5 mm RS-232 jack. The supplied 3.5 mm cable fits. Link detects the model by itself and shows the C49's own inputs and features.
What you control
Volume, mute, inputs, bass and treble, outputs, meter lights and power. Settings the C49 stores per input follow the input.
Volume safety
Volume moves one step at a time, each confirmed by the C49. A limit you set is enforced in Link, for every phone in the house.
Nothing changes on the C49
Its remote, front panel and settings work as before. Link mirrors the C49; turn the knob and every screen follows.
Inputs on the C49.
13 inputs, one button each. Hide the ones you never use and rename the rest.
