Bluesound, the pioneering brand in high-resolution multi-room audio, has announced the release of their latest innovation: the POWERNODE. This next-generation wireless music streaming amplifier is designed to deliver exceptional high-resolution sound while simplifying home audio and entertainment integration.
Building on its legacy as the first to fuse hi-res, multi-room streaming with advanced Class D amplifier technology, Bluesoundโs new POWERNODE offers 100 watts per channel of refined DirectDigitalร amplification. Whether you’re enjoying music or watching movies, it promises more power and lower distortion for an immersive listening experience.
A Fusion of Performance and Simplicity
โThe POWERNODE has always stood at the intersection of performance and simplicity,โ said Morten Nielsen, Associate Product Manager at Bluesound. โThis evolution expands its capabilities while staying true to our vision of delivering HiFi quality sound without compromise.โ
Designed with the modern listener in mind, the POWERNODE is more than just a stereo amplifier itโs a comprehensive home audio system built for effortless integration. Its support for HDMI eARC allows seamless connection to your TV, and the option to add a center channel speaker alongside traditional left and right channels means no bulky AV receiver is necessary.
Thanks to wireless surround capabilities, users can incorporate Bluesound PULSE wireless speakers and a PULSE SUB+ to create a full 5.1 surround sound setup, all while maintaining a clean, minimalist aesthetic that complements contemporary homes.
Upgraded Power and Cutting-Edge Technology
The new POWERNODE showcases significant enhancements in circuitry design, including improved signal paths, Gallium Nitride (GaN) transistor technology, and Bluesoundโs latest DirectDigitalร amplification. These advancements enable the amplifier to produce 100 watts per channel in stereo mode and 80 watts per channel in a 3.1 system configuration. The result is dynamic, pristine sound with minimal distortion, capturing every detail whether in music or film.
This performance level ensures the POWERNODE is not just convenient but also capable of satisfying audiophiles. It faithfully reproduces subtle musical nuances and cinematic intensity with depth, clarity, and control.
Seamless Multi-Room Streaming with BluOS
