Bluesound POWERNODE

Bluesound POWERNODE

The Bluesound POWERNODE is the successor to the popular Bluesound PowerNode 2i. This third generation POWERNODE is a network player with a high-quality, energy-efficient power amplifier. Enjoy music via internet radio, streaming services or via a media server in the highest possible sound quality with this complete streaming solution.

The POWERNODE is largely the same as the popular Bluesound NODE, but is also equipped with a powerful built-in power amplifier. This power amplifier has even more power than its predecessor and delivers audiophile sound quality with an output power of two times 80 watts. This high-quality class D power amplifier lets you hear even the smallest details and nuances in the music. You don't need more than a POWERNODE and a set of good-sounding speakers to enjoy your favorite music to the fullest.

BluOS

With the Bluesound app you can stream music in the blink of an eye via one of the many thousands of internet stations, or listen to your own digital music library from your media server. Prefer to stream music via Tidal, Qobuz, Juke or Spotify? It is only a matter of entering the subscription details and you have direct access to an unlimited online music library. Bluesound supports MQA and high-res music files up to 24bit and 192kHz in PCM. Listen to all your favorite TIDAL Masters in studio quality from now on.

With the BluOS app for iOS or Android, you can quickly and easily play any music source anywhere in a Bluesound multi-room environment. The POWERNODE also offers the option of listening to analogue and digital music sources. For example, connect a record or CD player via the stereo line input, or simply connect your television via the HDMI-ARC or digital Toslink input to the POWERNODE and enjoy your favourite artists in picture and good sound. If you prefer to stream these sources (wirelessly) to another Bluesound device in the house, this is also possible. Everything via the BluOS app. That's how powerful Bluesound's multi-room streaming platform is.

Better and more powerful

The Bluesound POWERNODE, like its predecessor, is equipped with dual-band Wi-Fi, Apple AirPlay 2 and Bluetooth. This POWERNODE is also equipped with voice control and is both Dolby and ROON certified. New is the beautiful glass top panel with touch control and proximity sensor, preset buttons and a 'swipeable' volume control. You now do not necessarily need the app to put on your favorite music or select another input. Much can now be controlled from the top of the product. This makes this already easy-to-use Bluesound POWERNODE even more intuitive.

Upgrades

This renewed POWERNODE has received a number of nice upgrades compared to the Gen2i model. In addition to the next-gen streaming platform with even more processing power, this POWERNODE has a new and improved DAC design with a lower signal-to-noise ratio and even lower distortion figures. The POWERNODE also has an HDMI eARC input and a USB audio output, allowing this POWERNODE to be combined with even more external DACs. The new POWERNODE has been given a matte satin lacquer finish, allowing it to fit seamlessly into any interior.
