JUST ADD SPEAKERS.
The POWERNODE EDGE combines streaming sources,
control and amplification in one sleek and affordable player. All you need to do
is connect a pair of passive speakers to experience an incredible all-in-one HiFi
solution. Control all your music with the intuitive BluOS Controller app. Play from a
personal music library, or even directly from an external USB drive. Easily connect
wired sources, like a TV or turntable, with HDMI eARC or the combo analog/digital
input. Add the PULSE SUB+ wireless subwoofer for a powerful but compact 2.1
stereo system or even use the POWERNODE EDGE to power the rear channels of a
wireless Bluesound surround sound setup.
PACKED WITH POWER.
Bring your speakers to life with the powerful, punchy 2 x
40 watts DirectDigital™ amplifier in the POWERNODE EDGE, handling hi-res, 24
bit/192 kHz files and MQA-encoded tracks with ease. Enjoy clarity in playback of
everything from densely-layered heavy metal tracks to whisper-quiet dialogue in
movies and TV shows.
INTUITIVE CONTROL.
Control is always at your fingertips via the BluOS Controller
app for iOS, Android, Mac, or PC, or using the elegant capacitive touch panel for
quick-access controls like Play, Pause, and Volume Up/Down. The POWERNODE
EDGE is connected to your home network via Wi-Fi or Ethernet, integrating
seamlessly with the most popular smart home control systems like Crestron,
Control4, URC, RTI, ELAN, and others. Hands-free control is possible with voice
assistants like Siri, Alexa, and Google Voice.
SLEEK AND VERSATILE. The POWERNODE EDGE is designed with a compact
form factor to suit any décor and comes with a multi-orientation wall mounting
bracket to hide in closets or behind sofas. Easy to spec and simple to stack, smart
home installers will appreciate its 1U rack height and half-rack width, along with an
easy-access touch control panel for everyday playback functions and configuration.
