The result is clean and clear audio to your favourite amp or powered speakers.

Go Beyond The Hi-Fi System: With the Node and multiple Bluesound Players, you can create a multiroom music system wirelessly connected by BluOS™ throughout your whole home. Play your new favourite track everywhere or listen to different music and genres in different rooms with total control from your phone, tablet, or desktop.

World-Class Headphone Amplifier Technology: Lifelike headphone listening is made possible by THX AAA™ technology, the headphone amplifier that boasts the world's most linear response. Its patented feed-forward error correction results in remarkably low noise and distortion, revealing exceptional soundstage and clarity. Connect your high-performance headphones to a full-sized ¼” (6.35 mm) headphone jack and enjoy audiophile listening with zero compromise.

Connect Everything: The Node is packed with digital and analogue inputs and outputs, making it incredibly versatile. You can bring in audio from your TV and gaming consoles with HDMI eARC, while dual-band Wi-Fi and gigabit ethernet keeps the music streaming without dropouts or interruptions. A proximity sensing touch panel provides quick control and access up to five programmable presets. Available in matte black and white finishes, the Node fits in the home perfectly.

Smart Acoustics: Your Node comes ready to intelligently fight bad room acoustics with Dirac Live, available as an upgrade directly from Dirac. Use Dirac's app to measure your room acoustics and eradicate bass traps, echoes, and other unwanted distortions from your audio. The result is clear, balanced, and detailed sound for your music and movie soundtracks. A calibration kit with a high-sensitivity microphone is also required and available from Bluesound.
