Bluesound Node (2024) - Hi-Res Music Streamer
The Bluesound NODE unlocks the world of hi-res music streaming and multi-room audio to create a modern addition to existing HiFi systems or your favourite set of powered speakers. Discover all the music ever recorded with access to hundreds of internet radio stations, dozens of streaming music services, or even your own digital music library, with a few taps of the BluOS Controller app for iOS, Android, or Mac or PC computers.
Wired and wireless connectivity
The NODE uses dual-band Wi-Fi to ensure a stable connection to your router and other Bluesound components. You can also make a wired Gigabit Ethernet connection.
Built-in two-way aptX™ Adaptive Bluetooth gives you high-quality wireless connectivity with compatible devices. You can stream audio to the NODE via Bluetooth from your smartphone or tablet or send music from the NODE to compatible wireless Bluetooth headphones.
A built-in high-performance THX AAA™ headphone amplifier provides a wired connection for traditional wired headphones via the 1/4" jack, delivering audiophile-quality sound.
Powerful Multi-Room Capability
Wirelessly connect the NODE to Bluesound speakers and stereo components to create an immersive multi-room system, powered and controlled by BluOS throughout the home with dual band Wi-Fi and gigabit ethernet. Enjoy HiFi quality sound in any and every room without dropouts or interruptions.
Optional Dirac Live Room Correction
This latest Node supports Dirac Live, a leading room correction technology. Advanced software (sold separately) analyses the acoustic properties of your specific listening room and counteracts irregularities to provide the best sound possible. You'll enjoy improved bass response, more accurate imaging, and an enhanced listening ‘sweet spot.’
*Dirac Live requires additional purchase of a software license and a Room Calibration kit.
