Description

Bluesound POWERNODE EDGE

The POWERNODE EDGE (N230) could be seen as the "little brother" of the POWERNODE (N330) streaming integrated amplifier, as it adopts a number of features and is also characterized by excellent sound quality. The POWERNODE EDGE is integrated via the home LAN or WLAN and thus plays music from numerous online streaming services and Internet radio stations as well as your own digital music collections. In addition, the amplifier has analogue and digital inputs for connecting existing audio sources as well as an HDMI eARC connection. The POWERNODE EDGE can also be “invisibly” e.g. B. be installed behind the TV or the sofa.

THE ONLY MISSING LOUDSPEAKER

If you add a pair of passive loudspeakers to the POWERNODE EDGE, the small hi-fi system is already complete. With an output of 2 x 40 watts per channel from DirectDigital™ amplifier modules, the music is transmitted in the highest resolution of up to 24-bit/192 KHz. MQA format playback is also supported, allowing music lovers to access studio master recordings and experience them as originally intended by the musician. If a subwoofer is to be added to the system, it can be integrated wirelessly into the WLAN (Bluesound SUB+) or via an RCA cable to the subwoofer output on the back.

HOME CINEMA?

The POWERNODE EDGE can also be defined with two speakers connected as a back surround option in a BluOS™ home cinema group. In combination with the Bluesound SOUNDBAR+ or a POWERNODE (N330)+ loudspeaker for the front, this results in a high-quality home cinema solution that is largely cable-free.

EVERYTHING INCLUDED, EVERYTHING AT YOUR FINGERTIPS

More than 20 music streaming services or many thousands of Internet radio stations can be controlled directly via the POWERNODE EDGE or the BluOS™ app. Your own music library can also be integrated via WLAN, LAN or an external USB drive. Furthermore, the AirPlay 2 option on board enables smooth integration with the Apple ecosystem, or the user can also play and amplify their music directly via Bluetooth aptX™ HD on the POWERNODE EDGE. The POWERNODE EDGE is equipped with an HDMI eARC and a combined analogue/digital input for playing TV sound and playing other analogue or digital sources.

SLEEK AND VERSATILE

The POWERNODE EDGE comes in an elegant and compact housing and allows easy integration into any living space. In addition, with the included bracket, it can be attached to a wall in multiple orientations. The touch controls on the front are easily accessible and allow you to operate the basic functions at any time.

MULTIROOM

The various Bluesound devices can be networked in the house via BluOS™ and thus form a real multi-room system that supports high-resolution audio playback. Whether music is played individually from individual Bluesound devices or Bluesound devices are combined in groups and play the same music, the possibilities are manifold. In addition, the POWERNODE EDGE can also be operated with the most well-known home control systems such as Crestron, Control4, URC, RTI, ELAN and others, and a KNX connection is of course also possible.
