BlueSound PULSE M Omni-Hybrid Wireless Music Streaming Speaker

BOUNDARY-FREE LISTENING.

Take your listening 360 degrees. The PULSE M is a wireless multi-room streaming speaker featuring a new Omni-Hybrid design – an upfiring, omnidirectional woofer and two tweeters mounted and offset at 45 degrees, driven by a DSP-enabled 80 watt smart amplifier, all working together to create lush, room filling sound at nearly any listening angle.

STUNNING SOUND AND DESIGN.

The PULSE M configures its unique Omni-Hybrid system inside of an elliptical cabinet to make a space-saving design that easily fits into the nooks and crannies of your home. Enjoy placement flexibility with the optional WM230 wall mount accessory or the FS230 floorstands. An acoustically transparent fabric grille combined with Black or White finish options makes for an all-around sensational speaker in both sound and design.

ONE OR MANY

Thanks to impeccable engineering, the PULSE M can also be paired to create a true two-channel listening experience with an ultra-wide soundstage, even at off-axis listening angles. TV watchers, movie enthusiasts, and gamers can use PULSE Ms as rear surrounds in a Bluesound home theater group to create a truly immersive experience. The PULSE M can work with other players in a Bluesound ecosystem to deliver hi-res, multi-room audio to one or many rooms, simultaneously.

CONNECT AND CONTROL.

Built-in access to over 20 natively-integrated music services and thousands of internet radio stations is available from the BluOS Controller app. Alternatively, connect to your music through WiFi, Ethernet, AirPlay 2, two-way aptX HD Bluetooth, USB-A, 3.5mm dual analog/digital input, or the 3.5mm headphone jack. In the BluOS Controller app, select your music, group players, and adjust an array of settings. Quick-access playback, including volume controls and 5 programmable presets, is available right on the top of the player with a proximity-sensing touch panel display, or through voice control assistants like Siri, Alexa, or Google Home. The PULSE M also fits right into smart homes, with drivers for Crestron, Control4, RTI, URC, Lutron and other home control systems.
