Why you will love it

Power for a pair of passive speakers

Powernode Edge has a DirectDigital amplifier rated at 40 W per channel into 8 ohms, with 5-way binding posts. Bluesound lists a minimum impedance of 4 ohms.

Bluesound says the amplifier handles hi-res files up to 24 bit / 192 kHz. A quad-core 1.8 GHz ARM Cortex-A53 processor runs BluOS.

Connect your TV, turntable and more

Use HDMI eARC to connect a TV, or the combined mini TOSLINK optical and 3.5 mm analog input for other sources. Bluesound lists a USB input for Type A drives, a subwoofer output and a Bluetooth-only headphone output.

Bluesound says you can add the Pulse Sub+ wireless subwoofer for a 2.1 stereo system, or use Powernode Edge to power the rear channels of a wireless Bluesound surround system.

Streaming through BluOS

The BluOS Controller app runs on iOS, Android, Mac and PC. Bluesound lists 23+ music services and internet radio, and integrations with AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect (including Spotify Lossless), Tidal Connect, Qobuz Connect and Roon Ready. Dirac Live room correction is listed as ready.

Bluesound lists two-way Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX HD, DSD256 support and a network drive option over SMB. Voice control works through the BluVoice skill with Amazon Alexa and Siri, Bluesound says.

Small enough to mount or hide

Bluesound compares the size to the average hardcover book, and says the included multi-orientation wall-mount bracket lets you hide it in a closet or behind a sofa.

Controls on the unit are a capacitive touch panel for play, pause, volume and track skip. An infrared sensor can learn commands from the optional RC1 remote, Bluesound says.

Pair it with a turntable

With the analog input, a turntable that has its own phono stage, or a separate phono preamp, can feed Powernode Edge. Bluesound shows the amplifier beside a turntable in its product images.
