The POWERNODE EDGE offers an all-in-one solution that lets you easily connect wired sources like your TV or turntable through HDMI eARC or the combo analog/digital input. Enhance your setup by adding the PULSE SUB+ Wireless Subwoofer for a compact yet powerful 2.1 stereo system. Alternatively, you can use the POWERNODE EDGE to drive the rear channels of a wireless Bluesound surround sound system. Control your music effortlessly using the BluOS Controller App, choosing from streaming services like Spotify, Tidal, Qobuz, and SiriusXM, or stream directly from your library via Apple AirPlay 2, aptX™ HD Bluetooth®, or a network-connected drive or USB.

Compact Power

Unleash your speakers with the powerful 2 x 40 watts DirectDigital™ amplifier built into the POWERNODE EDGE, capable of handling hi-res 24-bit/192 kHz files and MQA-encoded tracks with ease. From rich, layered metal tracks to crystal-clear movie dialogue, enjoy exceptional clarity in every sound.
