The Bluesound HUB is a compact network audio accessory that brings any wired audio source into your Bluesound multi-room system. Connect a turntable, CD player, TV, or any other audio device to the HUB and it instantly becomes a wireless source that any Bluesound player on your network can access - in any room, simultaneously if you choose. Five inputs cover virtually every source type: HDMI eARC with CEC for TVs, coaxial RCA and Toslink optical for digital sources, stereo RCA for analogue line-level devices, and a dedicated moving magnet phono stage for turntables. The HUB can stream one analogue and one digital source at the same time to different Bluesound players around the home, and up to four HUBs can run on a single network giving you eight simultaneous streams. It connects via Wi-Fi 5 or Gigabit Ethernet, is powered by USB-C, and adds virtually nothing in terms of noise - the line input SNR exceeds 100 dB, and the MM phono stage exceeds 80 dB. Bring Any Source into BluOS: Connect a turntable, CD player, TV, cassette deck, or any other audio source to the HUB and stream it to any Bluesound player on the network - freeing you from the physical location of the source device. Built-In MM Phono Stage: The audiophile-grade moving magnet phono preamp lets you connect a turntable directly, with SNR exceeding 80 dB and distortion below 0.03% across 20-20 kHz, delivering whole-home vinyl streaming without a separate phono stage. Five Input Options: HDMI eARC (with CEC), coaxial RCA, Toslink optical, stereo RCA analogue, and MM phono - covering digital TV audio, CD players, turntables, and any analogue line-level source. Simultaneous Dual Streaming: Each HUB streams one analogue and one digital source at the same time to different Bluesound players. Up to four HUBs can be used on a single network, supporting eight simultaneous streams. USB-C Powered, Ultra Compact: Measuring just 143 x 153 x 45 mm and powered externally via USB-C, the HUB is easy to position anywhere near your source equipment - on a shelf, behind a TV, or beside a turntable - with minimal visual impact. Wi-Fi 5 or Gigabit Ethernet: Dual-band Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) or Gigabit Ethernet gives you a choice of wired or wireless connection to your BluOS network, with full control from the BluOS app on iOS, Android, Windows, or macOS.
