Compact Size. Premium Hi-Res Performance.

The Bluesound POWERNODE EDGE is a compact yet remarkably capable wireless streaming amplifier that brings together premium Hi-Res audio, intelligent multi-room streaming and powerful stereo amplification in one elegant unit. Designed for listeners who want outstanding sound without the complexity of a traditional separates system, the POWERNODE EDGE simply requires a pair of passive speakers to create a complete, high-performance music system.

Whether you're streaming your favourite playlists, upgrading your television audio, connecting legacy equipment or building a whole-home BluOS ecosystem, the POWERNODE EDGE delivers impressive flexibility while maintaining the exceptional sound quality Bluesound has become known for.

Powerful 40W DirectDigital Amplification

At the heart of the POWERNODE EDGE is Bluesound's advanced 40 Watt per channel DirectDigital amplifier, engineered to deliver clean, accurate and highly efficient performance. Unlike conventional amplifiers, DirectDigital technology minimises distortion while preserving musical detail across the entire frequency range.

The result is a lively, engaging sound with crisp highs, natural vocals and controlled bass, making it an excellent partner for a wide variety of bookshelf and compact floorstanding speakers. Whether you're enjoying acoustic recordings, rock, jazz or cinematic soundtracks, the amplifier delivers consistent clarity and dynamic performance.

Award-Winning BluOS Multi-Room Streaming Platform

The POWERNODE EDGE is powered by the renowned BluOS operating system, one of the most respected wireless audio platforms available today. Designed specifically for audiophile-grade music streaming, BluOS allows you to access your entire music collection alongside leading streaming services through one intuitive application.

You can stream music in High-Resolution Audio, browse thousands of internet radio stations, discover new podcasts or enjoy your own digital music library with support for up to 200,000 tracks stored on network drives or USB devices.

BluOS also allows you to group compatible Bluesound players throughout your home, creating a seamless multi-room audio experience. Play the same music in every room or choose different playlists for different spaces—all controlled from a single app.

High-Resolution Audio Without Compromise

Unlike many wireless streaming systems that compress audio, the POWERNODE EDGE is designed to preserve every detail of your music.

Support for 24-bit High-Resolution Audio allows you to enjoy recordings with greater depth, improved dynamics and enhanced detail compared to standard CD-quality playback. It also supports MQA decoding for compatible TIDAL Masters recordings, allowing studio-quality playback exactly as intended by the artist and recording engineer.

For music enthusiasts looking to hear every nuance of their favourite albums, the POWERNODE EDGE provides an authentic and immersive listening experience.

Whether you prefer curated playlists, lossless albums or your own digital collection, switching between sources is effortless.

HDMI ARC for Simple TV Integration

The POWERNODE EDGE is much more than a dedicated music streamer. Thanks to its built-in HDMI ARC connection, it also becomes an excellent audio upgrade for your television.

Simply connect a compatible TV using a single HDMI cable and enjoy dramatically improved dialogue, wider sound staging and greater detail than standard TV speakers can provide. HDMI ARC also enables convenient volume control using your existing television remote, making everyday use incredibly simple.

This makes the POWERNODE EDGE an ideal solution for living rooms where you want premium music performance and enhanced television sound without installing a full surround sound receiver.

Flexible Connections for All Your Audio Equipment

Alongside wireless streaming, the POWERNODE EDGE offers a wide range of wired connections for existing audio components.

The versatile 3.5mm combination analogue and mini optical input allows connection of:

• CD players
• Games consoles
• Turntables with built-in phono stage
• Portable music players
• Televisions
• Media streamers

A convenient USB-A port enables playback directly from compatible USB storage devices, making it easy to enjoy downloaded Hi-Res music collections.

Add Deep Bass with a Subwoofer

For listeners wanting even greater low-frequency performance, the POWERNODE EDGE includes both wired subwoofer output and compatibility with the Bluesound PULSE SUB+ wireless subwoofer.

Adding a subwoofer creates a fuller, more cinematic listening experience while allowing your main speakers to perform even more efficiently.

This flexibility makes the POWERNODE EDGE equally suited to music, movies and gaming.

Bluetooth Playback and Wireless Headphone Listening

Built-in two-way Bluetooth with aptX HD allows convenient wireless music streaming from compatible smartphones, tablets and laptops while maintaining impressive sound quality.

The Bluetooth transmitter also lets you pair compatible wireless headphones, allowing you to enjoy late-night listening without disturbing others in the home.

Voice Assistant Compatibility

The POWERNODE EDGE works seamlessly with today's most popular smart home assistants.

Using the BluVoice skill, you can control playback, volume and music selection through:

• Amazon Alexa
• Apple Siri
• Google Assistant

Hands-free voice control makes everyday operation even more convenient.

Fast, Stable Wireless Performance

Powered by a Quad-Core ARM processor, the POWERNODE EDGE is built to handle demanding Hi-Res streaming with ease.

Support for both dual-band Wi-Fi and Gigabit Ethernet provides reliable network performance with minimal buffering, even when streaming large High-Resolution music files across multiple rooms.

• iPhone
• iPad

• Mac computers

Browse music, adjust volume, create playlists, manage multi-room playback and update firmware—all from one easy-to-use interface.

Expand into a Complete BluOS Home Audio System

The POWERNODE EDGE is designed to grow with your system.

It integrates effortlessly with the full Bluesound ecosystem, allowing you to add wireless speakers, streamers and home cinema products over time. You can even use the POWERNODE EDGE to power rear speakers within selected BluOS home theatre configurations, creating a more immersive surround sound experience.

Whether you begin with a single room or eventually build a whole-home installation, BluOS provides a flexible upgrade path without replacing your existing equipment.

Modern Design That Fits Anywhere

Despite its impressive performance, the POWERNODE EDGE maintains an incredibly compact footprint. Similar in size to a small network hub, it fits comfortably on shelves, media units or desktops where larger amplifiers simply won't fit.
