Sleek and Affordable Compact Wireless Streaming Amp
The Bluesound POWERNODE EDGE combines streaming sources, control and amplification in one sleek and affordable player. All you need to do is connect a pair of passive speakers to experience an incredible all-in-one hi-fi solution.
Add a little extra power with the POWERNODE EDGE, the perfect entry point into “just add speakers” hi-fi for the streaming age. Audiophile-grade componentry capable of up to 24 bits/192 kHz hi-res audio, and wireless multi-room capabilities with smartphone controls combine to make the POWERNODE EDGE a great ‘building block’ amplifier to start, extend or complete a hi-res streaming audio system of any size.
Control all your music with the intuitive BluOS Controller app. Play from a personal music library, or even directly from an external USB drive. Easily connect wired sources, like a TV or turntable, with HDMI eARC or the combo analog / digital input. Add the PULSE SUB+ wireless subwoofer (optional, sold separately) for a powerful but compact 2.1 stereo system or even use the POWERNODE EDGE to power the rear channels of a wireless Bluesound surround sound setup.
Award-Winning Performance
The Expert Sound and Imaging Association (EISA) gave the POWERNODE EDGE its Best Product Award 2023-2024 in the Compact Streaming Amplifier category.
"Thanks to its impressively sleek, wall-mountable chassis, the POWERNODE EDGE can be installed practically anywhere – and the compact form factor is complemented by wide-ranging functionality. Controlled via Bluesound’s intuitive BluOS app, this sleek ‘just add speakers’ amplifier can access streaming services, Internet radio and music files from a network or USB storage, while connections including HDMI eARC and two-way Bluetooth add even more to its versatility."
"Its sound, delivered by onboard amplification and with hi-res audio support, packs a punch. Use the POWERNODE EDGE as a discrete amp in a standalone set-up or combine with other BluOS devices to form a multiroom music system."
"Highly Recommended"
"The Edge seems to be a more performent implementation than regular Powernode with lower price – both of which is to my liking… While you can assemble streamers with much higher performance and/or lower cost, it would be difficult to get features like HDMI ARC and Dolby Digital decoding," reports audiosciencereview.com, August 3, 2023. "I am going to recommend the Bluesound Powernode Edge streamer amplifier."
"This is the second system boiled down to the neatest, slickest device Bluesound knows how to make and viewed in this niche exploiting manner, it has to be seen as Highly Recommended," notes Ed Selley, avsforums.com, August 24, 2023.
"Get Ready to Have a Blast"
"Bluesound has done right by consumers in making $649 go far by offering an affordable yet well-rounded product with performance advantages you can hear," notes Greg Handy, futureaudiophile.com, October 8, 2023. "No longer is there a viable excuse for music lovers to deny themselves a modern streaming audio system. This well-designed and thought-out component will provide years of enjoyment for many people… The Powernode Edge is that good."
"If you’re looking for a streaming solution that offers excellent sound, ease of use, versatility, and just plain fun, the thoughtfully designed Powernode Edge deserves serious consideration. Place it in a small- to medium-size listening room, bedroom, or office; combine it with suitable speakers; then get ready to have a blast. I did," raves Todd Whitesel, soundstagesimplifi.com, July 1, 2023.
"Based on my experience the Powernode Edge is a great value and easily recommendable on both product quality and sonic capabilities," observes Maxwell Geiger, audiophilia.com, April 1, 2023
