Compact BluOS Streaming Amplification for Simple High-Resolution Hi-Fi
The Bluesound POWERNODE EDGE Compact Wireless Music Streaming Amplifier combines high-resolution music streaming, amplification and system control in a compact chassis that can power a pair of passive loudspeakers without the need for a separate streamer or amplifier. Its DirectDigital™ amplifier delivers 40 watts per channel into 8 ohms and supports playback up to 24-bit/192kHz, making it an ideal foundation for bedrooms, offices, secondary listening rooms and space-conscious stereo systems.
BluOS brings streaming services, internet radio, local network libraries and synchronized multi-room playback together in one interface, while HDMI eARC allows a compatible television to become part of the system with a single cable. AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, Roon Ready support, two-way aptX HD Bluetooth and Dirac Live Ready room correction add further flexibility, while the included multi-orientation mounting bracket allows discreet placement behind furniture, inside cabinetry or on a wall.
