Whether you re looking to build a Hi-Fi audio system or pull an old setup into the digital age, the black POWERNODE EDGE Wireless Music Streaming Amplifier from Bluesound is an ideal solution for anyone looking to take advantage of streaming media and digital content. The compact and modern design helps it fit almost anywhere in your home, and it conveniently connects to a pair of your favorite passive speakers.
Once speakers are added, the POWERNODE EDGE can stream up to audiophile-quality music through dual-band Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. The POWERNODE EDGE supports Spotify, Tidal, and other popular platforms, but can also access local storage, including Hi-Res Audio and MQA digital files. You can even connect components, such as a TV or turntable using its HDMI and combo optical/analog inputs.
Access Everything with BluOS
Using the BluOS Controller app (iOS, Android, Windows, or Mac), you can select songs and playlists from streaming apps (Spotify, Tidal, Qobuz, SiriusXM), a local music library using Apple AirPlay or Bluetooth, a connected network drive, or USB flash drives.
Powerful Hi-Res Output
Connected passive speakers can take advantage of the 40W per channel DirectDigital amplifier in the POWERNODE EDGE, which delivers 24-bit, 192 kHz sound. The amplifier can handle everything from MQA-encoded digital files to Dolby Digital-encoded shows and movies.
Space-Saving Size
About the size of a hardcover book, the POWERNODE EDGE does not need dedicated space in your living room. Place it almost anywhere or use it in other rooms of your house, such as in a home office. You can even hide it away by mounting it to a wall in a closet or behind furniture with the included wall-mount bracket.
