The Bluesound POWERNODE EDGE is a compact "just add speakers" wireless streaming amplifier that combines a 2 x 40W DirectDigital amplifier, the full BluOS multi-room platform, and a comprehensive set of inputs into a unit roughly the size of a hardcover book. Connect a pair of passive speakers, hook up your TV via HDMI eARC, and you have a complete hi-res streaming system ready to go - with no separate streamer, DAC, or preamplifier required. Its slim profile and included multi-orientation wall-mount bracket mean it can be tucked into a bookshelf, mounted in a cupboard, or installed in a rack - making it as suited to a bedroom or home office as it is to a main living room. Dual-band Wi-Fi 5, Gigabit Ethernet, and two-way aptX HD Bluetooth 5.0 cover every connection scenario, and AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, and Roon Ready give you access to virtually every streaming service via the BluOS app. It can also be used to power the rear speakers in a Bluesound wireless surround sound system alongside a PULSE CINEMA, PULSE CINEMA MINI, or the flagship POWERNODE. 2 x 40W DirectDigital Amplification: Bluesound's DirectDigital technology drives passive speakers directly from the digital domain, delivering 40W per channel continuous (8 ohm) and 80W IHF dynamic power into 4 ohm loads, with THD+N of just 0.008%. Complete Streaming System in One Box: BluOS gives access to 23+ music services including AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, and Roon Ready, with hi-res playback up to 24-bit/192kHz and MQA support - no separate streamer needed. HDMI eARC and Analogue/Optical Input: Connect your TV directly via HDMI eARC for a clean single-cable setup, or use the combo Mini-TOSLINK/3.5mm input for a CD player, turntable, or other analogue source. Dolby Digital decoding is built in. Compact and Versatile: Roughly the size of a hardcover book with 1U rack height and half-rack width, the POWERNODE EDGE fits almost anywhere. The included multi-orientation wall-mount bracket lets you install it out of sight in a cupboard or behind a sofa. Wireless Rear Channel Capability: The POWERNODE EDGE can be used to power the rear speakers in a Bluesound wireless surround sound system, pairing wirelessly with a PULSE CINEMA, PULSE CINEMA MINI, or POWERNODE via the BluOS app. Expandable to 2.1: Add the PULSE SUB+ wirelessly for a compact but powerful 2.1 stereo system, with subwoofer volume and crossover controlled directly from the BluOS app. Specifications Model: N230 Amplification: DirectDigital Rated Power Output: 40W x 2 (8 ohm) IHF Dynamic Power: 80W (4 ohm) / 50W (8 ohm) Minimum Speaker Impedance: 4 ohm Signal-to-Noise Ratio: -91 dBA Distortion: THD+N 0.008% Supported Multi-Channel Audio: Dolby Digital Supported Audio Formats: MP3, AAC, WMA, OGG, ALAC, OPUS, FLAC, MQA, WAV, AIFF, MPEG-4 SLS Native Sampling Rates: Up to 192 kHz Bit Depth: 16-24 bit Operating System: BluOS App Compatibility: iOS, Android, Windows, macOS Processor: Quad-Core ARM Cortex-A53, 1.8 GHz per core Music Services: 23+ including AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, Roon Ready Third-Party Integrations: AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect (including lossless), TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, Roon Ready, Dirac Live Ready Control System Support: Crestron, Control4, RTI, ELAN, URC, Lutron Voice Control: Amazon Alexa, Siri, Google Assistant Network File Sharing: SMB, up to 200,000 files Wi-Fi: Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), dual-band Ethernet: RJ45 Gigabit (1000 Mbps) Bluetooth: 5.0 aptX HD, two-way (transmit and receive) Power Supply: Universal mains input (100-240V AC) Analogue/Optical Input: Combo Mini-TOSLINK / 3.5mm stereo jack HDMI Input: HDMI eARC USB Input: Type-A (FAT32/NTFS, external storage/local server) Speaker Outputs: 2 x 5-way binding post terminals Subwoofer Output: RCA x1; wireless to PULSE SUB+ Headphone Output: Bluetooth only Trigger Output: 12V IR Control: IR sensor with IR remote learning Mounting: Multi-orientation wall-mount bracket included; 1U rack height, half-rack width Finish: Black or white Operating Temperature: 0°C to 40°C What You Get 1 x 230V AC Power Cord 1 x Ethernet Cable 1 x TOSLINK Optical to 3.5mm Mini Adapter 1 x Metal Mounting Bracket 1 x Metal Mounting Screw 1 x Rubber Mount Attachment 1 x Safety/Warranty Guide 1 x Quick Setup Guide
