Wireless Streaming Integrated Amplifier

The POWERNODE is a highly powerful streaming integrated amplifier that integrates into your existing home LAN or Wi-Fi network, allowing you to play music from numerous online streaming services and internet radio stations, as well as your own digital music collections. In addition, the amplifier features analog and digital inputs for connecting existing audio sources and—thanks to its HDMI eARC port—a television.

JUST ADD SPEAKERS
The POWERNODE is a highly powerful streaming integrated amplifier that integrates into your existing home LAN or Wi-Fi network, allowing you to play music from numerous online streaming services and internet radio stations, as well as your own digital music collections. In addition, the amplifier features analog and digital inputs for connecting existing audio sources and—thanks to its HDMI eARC port—a television. The new POWERNODE has a continuous output power of 2 x 80 watts, providing enough reserves to drive most standard loudspeakers.

INTEGRATE EXTERNAL MUSIC SOURCES INTO THE NETWORK
With its analog and digital inputs and outputs, the POWERNODE offers you the opportunity to continue using your existing HiFi components and integrate them into your wireless network. Whether it's a CD player or turntable, your TV, or a music server – you can easily stream your favorite songs from any connected music source and listen to them anywhere in the house.

UNLIMITED ACCESS TO MUSIC
With support for AirPlay 2, which integrates all Apple iPhones, iPads, and computers into your network in the simplest way, the POWERNODE is one of the most flexible streamers available. In addition, you will find premium high-resolution music services like TIDAL®, Spotify®, Amazon Music HD, and Qobuz®—as well as virtually all other popular streaming platforms and internet radio stations—directly in the BluOS® Controller App. And, of course, you also have access to your locally stored downloads, your Apple Music library, and all other content on a NAS drive without ever turning on a computer.

HIGH COMPUTING POWER AND FAST DATA PROCESSING
A high-performance quad-core processor now enables the new BluOS™ streaming module to provide over eight times the computing power and four times the memory speed. Furthermore, the POWERNODE features an improved dual-band Wi-Fi module, and for music streaming from a smartphone or tablet, a high-resolution Bluetooth® aptX® HD wireless connection is available, which can also be used to control a Bluetooth® headphone or speaker simultaneously if needed. Apple users can integrate the POWERNODE into their network via AirPlay 2, and the extremely powerful high-end D/A converter even allows for decoding and streaming MQA files, whose audio data can contain music in high-resolution studio quality.

MUSIC THROUGHOUT THE HOUSE
The POWERNODE is highly versatile and can be expanded to suit any listening situation. For example, the Bluesound PULSE SUB+ subwoofer and a pair of PULSE FLEX 2i speakers can be used for the rear surround channels, controlled wirelessly via the home Wi-Fi network when the living room is used as a home cinema with Dolby® Surround Sound. Or, you can add further Bluesound players to create an almost infinitely scalable multi-room audio system, which can be conveniently controlled via the BluOS™ app on a smartphone, tablet, or computer, as well as via voice assistant. Finally, the Bluesound system can even be integrated into professional smart home control systems.
