New! Dirac Live Support
For a nice upgrade in sound quality in your listening space, Bluesound has just introduced Dirac Live, the industry-leading room correction technology, to the NODE ICON and the NODE Performance Music Streamers. These are the world's first streamers to support Dirac Live with the firmware update that was released on January 14, 2025.
You can access these DIRAC READY products with the purchase of a Room Calibration Kit and a Dirac Live license (both optional, sold separately), ensuring optimized audio performance regardless of room acoustics. See below for more information on this exciting new feature.
Benchmark Sound Quality
The NODE ICON is the best streamer Bluesound has ever built. It relies on a masterfully engineered Bluesound Dual-Mono design with two ESS SABRE® ES9039Q2M DAC chipsets. It uses the latest fourth generation ESS Hyperstream® technology to let you experience sound with superior dynamic range, ultra-low distortion, and the highest possible resolution ever heard.
Beautifully Designed for the Audio Obsessed
The NODE ICON features an all-new industrial design, with an aluminum cabinet construction, seamlessly integrated with the large front glass panel, and the gorgeous 5" non-touch display. Its sleek gloss black finish blends seamlessly into any existing setup, with audiophile-grade connections to support high-quality performance. It also features built-in IR learning and a proximity-sensing touch panel that provides quick control and access for up to five programmable presets, along with volume and playback controls.
Stream Everything
Stream all the music ever recorded, from popular music streaming services to your own digital music libraries, and access everything you listen to, including hi-res FLAC, MQA and DSD 256, in the BluOS app. Apple AirPlay 2 and aptX™ Adaptive Bluetooth® are also built-in to let you enjoy even more music from more apps and services.
With HDMI eARC, you can easily connect the NODE ICON to your TV with a single cable and bring hi-res music streaming together with your movie and gaming experiences.
Total Control of Music in Every Room
With the NODE ICON and multiple Bluesound players, you can create a multi-room music system wirelessly connected by BluOS™ throughout your whole home. With dual-band Wi-Fi for dropout free listening, you can play your new favorite track everywhere or listen to different music and genres in different rooms with total control from your phone, tablet, or desktop.
World-Class Headphone Amplifier Technology
Lifelike headphone listening is made possible by THX AAA™ technology, the headphone amplifier that boasts the world's most linear response. Its patented feed-forward error correction results in remarkably low noise and distortion, revealing exceptional soundstage and clarity. Connect your high-performance headphones to a full-sized 1/4" headphone jack and enjoy audiophile listening with zero compromise.
Smart Acoustics with Dirac Live
With the firmware update that was released on January 14, 2025, the NODE ICON and the NODE Performance Music Streamers come ready to intelligently fight bad room acoustics with Dirac Live, available as an upgrade directly from Dirac (optional, sold separately).
Use Dirac's app to measure your room acoustics and eradicate bass traps, echoes, and other unwanted distortions from your audio. The result is clear, balanced, and detailed sound for your music and movie soundtracks. A calibration kit with a high-sensitivity microphone is also required and available from Bluesound (optional, sold separately).
Enjoy a Dirac Live Listening Experience
Dirac Live is a digital room calibration solution designed to optimize your sound systems and counterbalance the challenges presented by the room’s acoustic properties. It optimizes the audio by compensating for distortions caused by the acoustics of your room.
When integrated with an AVR, music streamer/player, and other compatible gear, Dirac Live measures the acoustic characteristics of your space using a calibrated microphone (sold separately), analyzing how sound interacts with the room. It then adjusts the speaker’s output to ensure that the sound is balanced and true-to-source, regardless of the room’s shape, size, or materials.
Contrary to basic EQ systems that mainly flatten the frequency response, Dirac Live corrects both the frequency and impulse response. This means it not only addresses tonal balance, but it also ensures that transient sounds (like a clap or a drum hit) are reproduced cleanly without smearing or delay.
By using Dirac Live, you’re essentially enhancing the potential of your sound system to perform as it would in an acoustically perfect environment, making the sound more realistic and detailed, even in challenging spaces.
