Just add speakers

All you have to do is connect a pair of passive speakers to enjoy the incredible universal Hi-Fi solution. Simply connect wired sources such as a TV or turntable using an HDMI eARC or a combined analog/digital input. Add a Pulse Sub+ wireless subwoofer to create a powerful yet compact 2.1 stereo system, or even use PowerNode Edge to power the rear channels of the Bluesound wireless surround sound system.

Using BluOS Controller, choose songs from popular streaming services such as Spotify, Tidal, Qobuz, SiriusXM, from your own music library via Apple Airplay2, aptX HD Bluetooth, or even from a network-connected disk or USB hard drive.

Compact power

Bring your speakers to life with the powerful, punchy DirectDigital 2 x 40W PowerNode Edge amplifier, capable of easily processing high-resolution, 24-bit/192 kHz files and MQA encoded tracks. Enjoy the clarity of playback of everything from tightly layered heavy metal tracks to quiet dialogues in movies and TV shows. PowerNode Edge independently decodes Dolby Digital content and can be used to power the speakers of the rear channels of a wireless home theater system.

Space saving

Your sound oasis doesn't have to take up all your real estate. The days of bulky, oversized amplifiers are over with PowerNode Edge. This small but powerful Hi-Fi system, comparable in size to an average hardcover book, turns any space into a real paradise.

High resolution for every corner

The sleek and compact form factor of the PowerNode Edge makes it ideal for secondary spaces such as offices and back porches. Equip speakers in every corner of your home with powerful and streaming speech and hide the PowerNode Edge out of sight in cozy corners such as closets or behind sofas with a wall mount bracket with different orientations.

Intuitive operation

Control is always at your fingertips with BluOS Controller for iOS, Android, Mac, PC or an elegant capacitive touchpad for quick access to controls such as "Play", "Pause", "Volume Up/Down" and "Previous/Last Track". PowerNode Edge connects to your home network via Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Hands-free control is possible with voice assistants such as Siri, Alexa and Google Voice. Full-featured Lutron, Crestron, RTI, Elan and other popular control systems are available for professional smart home installers.
