A network accessory from Bluesound that adds wired audio sources to a BluOS system. It has HDMI eARC, coaxial, optical, stereo analogue and moving magnet phono inputs, and connects by dual-band Wi-Fi or Gigabit Ethernet.

Bluesound says the HUB connects to a wide variety of audio sources and lets them play back on any Bluesound player. Connect a turntable, CD player or TV, then pick the HUB as an input in the BluOS app.

The HUB is an input device. It does not play music by itself and needs at least one Bluesound or BluOS player to send the audio to.

Why you will love it

Play any source on any Bluesound player

Bluesound says you can connect any wired audio source to the HUB to bring it into your Bluesound system, then send it to one or many Bluesound players around the home.

Each HUB can stream one analogue and one digital source at the same time to different Bluesound or BluOS players. Bluesound lists support for up to four HUBs on a single network.

Five input options

The inputs are HDMI eARC with CEC, a coaxial digital input, a TOSLINK optical input, a stereo analogue RCA input and a moving magnet phono input.

Bluesound says you can use the HUB with a pair of Bluesound Pulse speakers to upgrade your TV sound.

Phono stage for vinyl

Bluesound says the built-in moving magnet phono stage is a low noise, wide-bandwidth preamp that brings a turntable to your Bluesound players for whole-home streaming. Signal-to-noise ratio is listed as better than 80 dB on the phono MM input.

Control with the BluOS app

The HUB shows up as an input in the BluOS app, which runs on iOS, Android, Windows and macOS. Bluesound lists control system integrations for Control4, Crestron, URC, RTI, ELAN and Lutron via software update.

Compact with an external power supply

The power supply is a universal USB-C adapter that stays external, which Bluesound says keeps the HUB compact. It connects to the network by dual-band Wi-Fi or Gigabit Ethernet, and a mounting template is included.
