To control this AirPlay 2-enabled speaker, iOS 11.4 or later is required.

Multiroom Audio

AirPlay 2 technology lets you play a song on every RS150 in your house at the same time or adjust the volume in any room – all in sync.

After installing your RS150, add it to the Apple Home App with a few simple steps using your iPhone or iPad.

Siri Voice Control

Use Siri on your iPhone, iPad, HomePod, or Apple TV to control your RS150 with just your voice.

MCINTOSH RS150 - Chromecast - 1

Note About Initial Network Connection

When your RS150 connects to your network for the first time, it will automatically look for the latest software update. If available, the RS150 will install the newest version. When updating, the Red LED below the Right Knob will blink twice, pause and repeat.

You may adjust how future updates are handled. See "UPDATE Menu" on page 12.

Roon

When connected to your network, the RS150 will be available as a Zone for your Roon server. (If you have a Roon server.) The RS150 can be connected to your Wi-Fi using AirPlay (see "Wi-Fi connection using an iOS Device" on page 5) or Chromecast. It can also be directly connected with an ethernet cable.

Tidal Connect

To listen to music on TIDAL through the RS150, using the Tidal app, select the content you want to

play and then select the connect icon Now Playing page.

MCINTOSH RS150 - Tidal Connect - 1

This will bring up a list of nearby devices to stream through. Locate the RS150 and select to pair.

If you are unable to find your device, make sure the device is connected to the same Wi-Fi network you are streaming from.

Once paired you can use your TIDAL app as a remote. TIDAL is compatible with select smart assistants that enable voice controls. Depending on your region, you may enable this feature by linking your TIDAL account with your selected smart device. This option can normally be found in the

Settings section of your respective Smart Devices app.

Spotify Connect

Use your phone, tablet or computer as a remote control for Spotify. Go to spotify.com/connect to learn how.

Qualcomm® aptX™ Audio

aptX™ is a codec that can provide CD quality music over Bluetooth connections. The RS150 will automatically utilize aptX when connected to a source that supports aptX. Simply connect with Bluetooth as described in "Quick Start (Bluetooth)" on page 4.

The RS150 also supports the higher resolution aptX HD (24-bit/48kHz). If your device utilizes aptX HD then that resolution will be utilized automatically.

The RS150 also features aptX LL (Low Latency) which automatically ensures Bluetooth can deliver sound in sync with visual media. It reduces delay and improves end-to-end speed of the audio transmission, resulting in a high quality, synchronized user experience with any transmitting device that supports aptX LL.

Rear Connections

Ethernet Port

The Ethernet Port connects your RS150 to your network's router using a standard CAT5, CAT5E or CAT6 cable with an RJ45 connector. Using a wired connection is one way to access the RS150's setup via a browser. For more information, see "The Browser Interface" on page 10.

AC Connector

Use the supplied AC Power Cord to connect the RS150 to a live AC outlet.

USB Service Port

The USB port is only for performing service functions by a qualified service technician. It is not intended for USB device support or playback.

MCINTOSH RS150 - USB Service Port - 1

The Browser Interface

To view the RS150's browser interface, you will need its IP address.

There are several ways to find a device's IP address. For instance, you can use IP scanner software. Here is one way with out additional software. To find the RS150's IP address:

With the RS150 connected to your network with a wired or wireless connection:

  • Type the IP address of your router into the address bar of a browser (often 192.168.1.1)
  • Enter the router's Username and password. (The default can be found in the router's documentation, but changing it is a good security rule)
  • Look for the RS150 in the list of wired or wireless clients for your router
  • Note the IP address
    With the RS150's IP address:
  • Type the address of the RS150 into the address bar of your router
    The RS150 Browser interface has three submenus:
    • OVERVIEW

You can provide a Custom Name for the RS150. This is the name that will display for available AirPlay devices. If you wish to change the default name, type the new name in the box and press Enter.

The Overview Menu provides an indicator for the status of your Wi-Fi (WIFI enabled). When enabled the indicator will show ON and be green. An ethernet connection takes precedence and will automatically disable Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi, if set up, will re-engage when the ethernet cable is disconnected.

SETTINGS Menu

The Power Sleep Timer has two settings:

  • ON (default)
    • OFF

When the Power Sleep Timer is set to ON, the RS150 will power off into a sleep state after approximately 30 minutes of no sound or user input. After 60 minutes of uninterrupted sleep, the RS150 will enter a Standby Mode. In this Standby Mode, the Wi-Fi radio is powered off and the unit can not be woken via the network. Standby Mode power consumption is less than 0.5 watts.

Figure 8- SETTINGS submenu

If the Power Sleep Timer is set to OFF, the RS150 will power off into a sleep state after 30 minutes of non-activity. The RS150 can be woken from sleep by input from the network (or physically pushing the Power Button). In a sleep state, the RS150 will continue to work with devices configured to control it in your Google Home collection.

The RS150 can be made to immediately enter a sleep state by pressing and holding the Right Knob for two seconds. If Power Sleep Timer is set to ON, the RS150 will enter Standby Mode after 60 minutes of uninterrupted sleep.

The Startup Volume Limit has two settings:

The Settings Menu allows you to change settings for Wired and Wireless network connections.

Select Network Type to see/change settings:

  • Automatic
  • Wired
  • Wireless

If Network Type is set to Automatic, the RS150 will

automatically connect to Wi-Fi when the ethernet cable is unplugged provided the Wireless connection has previously been setup. Selecting Wired for Network Type will limit the RS150 network connection to the ethernet port connection. Select Wireless to setup a Wi-Fi network or to restrict the network connection to Wi-Fi.

If you selected the Network Type of Wireless, the following submenus appear:

  • Scan Networks
  • Display SSID
    • Network Password

To set up a wireless connection for the RS150:

  • Select Start Scan
  • In the Display SSID submenu, select a wireless network using the up/down arrows
  • Enter the Network Password for that Network
  • Select Connect

DHCP can be set to ON (Default) or OFF. If you change this setting to OFF, you will need to provide the following information manually:

McIntosh cannot and does not warrant against, and shall have no liability of any kind for any of the following that are attributable to non-McIntosh providers or services: (i) interruption, discontinuance, or other unsatisfactory performance of service; (ii) reduced Product functionality that is so attributable; or (iii) any other loss or damage of any kind that is so attributable.
