Fosi Audio MC101 is a compact Bluetooth stereo integrated amplifier for passive speakers, styled with an illuminated analog VU meter.
Bluetooth 5.3, RCA input, pre-out, tone controls and up to 100W per channel maximum output combine modern connectivity with tactile vintage-inspired control.
Why it stands out
Illuminated analog VU meter
The moving pointer provides a distinctive visual indication that follows the audio signal.
Bluetooth and RCA inputs
Switch between Bluetooth 5.3 wireless playback and a conventional analog source.
Passive-speaker amplification
Dual TPA3116 amplifiers provide up to 100W × 2 maximum at 4Ω.
Pre-out system expansion
Connect compatible powered equipment or an additional amplifier from the line-level pre-output.
Best for
- Desktop and bookshelf passive speakers
- Simple Bluetooth stereo systems
- Users who value physical tone controls
- Systems needing a pre-output for expansion
Not ideal for
- HDMI ARC, optical or USB sources
- Headphone listening
- Turntables without a phono preamplifier
EMiUZEK Buying Notes
- MC101 powers passive speakers; the pre-out is line level and should not be connected to passive speakers.
- The 100W × 2 figure is a maximum specification at 4Ω and depends on power supply and load.
- A turntable needs a built-in or separate phono preamplifier before the RCA input.
