    Sleek and Affordable Compact Wireless Streaming Amp

    The Bluesound 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 hi-fi solution.

    Add a little extra power with the POWERNODE EDGE, the perfect entry point into “just add speakers” hi-fi for the streaming age. Audiophile-grade componentry capable of up to 24 bits/192 kHz hi-res audio, and wireless multi-room capabilities with smartphone controls combine to make the POWERNODE EDGE a great ‘building block’ amplifier to start, extend or complete a hi-res streaming audio system of any size.

    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 (optional, sold separately) 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 dialog 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. It's easy to spec and simple to stack. Smart-home installers will appreciate the 1U rack height and half-rack width along with an easy-access touch control panel for everyday playback functions and configuration.
