Bluesound Powernode Edge Wireless Music Streaming Amplifier
Simply connect a pair of passive speakers to the Bluesound POWERNODE EDGE for an outstanding all-in-one HiFi solution.
The Bluesound POWERNODE EDGE’s sleek, space-saving design makes it ideal for smaller rooms, offices, or even outdoor spaces like patios. Comparable in size to a standard hardcover book, it fits neatly into any corner without compromising on sound quality. The included wall-mount bracket allows for easy installation in tight spaces, whether in a closet or behind a sofa.
Control is straightforward with the BluOS app or the intuitive capacitive touch panel, and for smart home enthusiasts, it integrates seamlessly with popular control systems and voice assistants like Siri and Alexa.
Connectivity
Wired sources such as TVs or turntables can be easily connected through HDMI eARC or the combo analogue/digital input. For added bass, pair it with the PULSE SUB+ Wireless Subwoofer, creating a compact yet powerful 2.1 stereo system. Alternatively, the POWERNODE EDGE can power the rear channels of a wireless Bluesound surround sound system. Through the BluOS Controller App, users can select music from popular streaming services like Spotify, Tidal, and Qobuz, or play tracks from their own library via Apple AirPlay 2, aptX HD Bluetooth, or a network-connected drive.
It has the EDGE
Despite its compact size, the POWERNODE EDGE is powered by a 2 x 40 watts DirectDigital amplifier, delivering punchy and precise sound. It handles high-resolution audio, including 24-bit/192kHz files and MQA-encoded tracks, with exceptional clarity. Whether it's the complex layers of a heavy metal track or the subtle dialogue in films, the POWERNODE EDGE excels. It also decodes Dolby Digital content, making it perfect for home theatre systems where it can power rear channel speakers wirelessly.
