BlueSound PowerNode EDGE black

The Bluesound POWERNODE EDGE, the perfect entry point into HiFi - “just add speakers” to stream your favorite music. Audiophile-grade components capable of delivering high-resolution sound up to 24-bit/192kHz and wireless multi-room functionality with smartphone controls make the POWERNODE EDGE an ideal base amp for starting, expanding, or complementing a high-resolution streaming audio system of any size.

Just Add Speakers

Simply connect a pair of passive speakers for an incredible all-in-one HiFi solution. Easily connect wired sources, like a TV or turntable, with HDMI eARC or the combo analog/digital input. Add the Bluesound PULSE SUB+ Wireless Subwoofer for a powerful yet compact 2.1 stereo system, or even use the Bluesound POWERNODE EDGE to power the rear channels of a Bluesound wireless surround sound setup. Using the BluOS Controller app, select songs from popular streaming services like Spotify, Tidal, Qobuz, SiriusXM, from your own music library via Apple Airplay 2, AptX HD Bluetooth, or even a network-connected drive or USB hard drive.

Compact, Powerful Amplifier

Bring your speakers to life with the POWERNODE EDGE’s powerful, punchy 2 x 40W DirectDigital amplifier, easily handling 24-bit/192kHz high-resolution files and MQA-encoded tracks. Enjoy clarity playing everything from dense-layered heavy metal tracks to quiet movie and TV show dialogue. The Bluesound POWERNODE EDGE decodes Dolby Digital content on its own and can also be used to power the rear channel speakers in a wireless home theater system.

Space-Saving

Your sonic oasis doesn’t need to take up your entire space. With the POWERNODE EDGE, the era of bulky, oversized amplifiers is over. About the size of a hardcover book, this small but mighty HiFi system transforms any space into a high-fidelity haven.
