Bluesound Unveils New POWERNODE: Next-Gen Wireless Streaming Amplifier

Experience high-res audio and simplified AV integration with Bluesound's latest POWERNODE amplifier.

Revolutionizing Home Audio with POWERNODE

Bluesound, the pioneer in hi-res multi-room audio, has just taken a giant leap forward with the release of its new POWERNODE. This next-generation wireless music streaming amplifier is designed to deliver high-resolution sound quality while streamlining your home audio setup. Whether you’re a music lover or a movie enthusiast, the POWERNODE brings 100 watts per channel of advanced DirectDigital® amplification, ensuring powerful sound with minimal distortion.

Building on Bluesound’s legacy of combining hi-res multi-room streaming with cutting-edge Class D amplifier technology, this new model represents a fresh chapter in delivering audiophile-grade sound without the complexity that often comes with AV systems.

“The POWERNODE has always stood at the intersection of performance and simplicity,” shares Morten Nielsen, Associate Product Manager at Bluesound. “This evolution expands its capabilities while staying true to our vision of delivering HiFi quality sound without compromise.”

Simple AV for Modern Homes

In today’s fast-paced world, people want technology that fits effortlessly into their lifestyle. Bluesound understands this, and the new POWERNODE is designed with that philosophy in mind. It’s not just a stereo amplifier; it’s a complete home audio solution that brings powerful sound in a sleek, straightforward package.

Say goodbye to bulky AV receivers. The POWERNODE supports HDMI eARC and lets you add a center channel speaker to the classic left and right channels. Plus, with its wireless surround sound capabilities, you can easily integrate Bluesound PULSE wireless speakers and a PULSE SUB+ subwoofer for a full 5.1 surround sound setup — all while maintaining a minimalist look that suits any modern living space.

Matt Simmonds, Bluesound’s Product Manager, says it best: “With the new POWERNODE, we’re not just delivering hi-res audio. We’re delivering a new way to experience music and home entertainment — one that’s powerful, flexible, and designed around how people actually live.”

Upgraded Power and Performance

The POWERNODE’s new circuitry is a game-changer. Featuring improved signal paths, the latest DirectDigital® amplification, and gallium nitride (GaN) transistor technology, it pumps out 100 watts per channel in stereo mode and 80 watts per channel when used in a 3.1 system. This means crystal-clear, dynamic sound with barely any distortion — capturing every subtle nuance in your music or movie soundtrack.

Whether you’re listening to soft acoustic melodies or the explosive sound effects of your favorite film, the POWERNODE delivers depth, clarity, and control that true audiophiles crave.

Seamless Multi-Room Streaming with BluOS

As with all Bluesound gear, the POWERNODE is built on the award-winning BluOS platform. BluOS supports over 20 streaming services, including TIDAL, Qobuz, Spotify, Amazon Music, and Deezer, and offers access to high-res audio formats up to 24-bit/192kHz, MQA, and DSD256.

You can stream your personal music library, enjoy internet radio, or synchronize music playback across multiple rooms using other BluOS-enabled devices. The intuitive BluOS Controller app, available for iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows, makes browsing and controlling your music a breeze — right from your phone or tablet.

Intuitive Design with Smart Controls

Bluesound has refined the POWERNODE’s look with a sleek, compact design available in matte black or white. A glass touch panel with a proximity sensor offers responsive controls and five programmable presets, so you can start your favorite tunes instantly without needing your phone.
