The BLUESOUND NODE (N132) network player is very easy to connect to any stereo system, active speakers or home theater system. The new fourth generation model is equipped with an HMDI eARC connection and a Dolby Digital decoder, which makes using the NODE with your TV even easier; the devices communicate with each other and the volume can be controlled with the TV remote control.

The new NODE (N132) is very much based on Bluesound's 10th anniversary model, the NODE X, which was produced in limited quantities.

Compared to previous NODE models, you get new features that provide an even better listening experience. For example, the DA converter has been upgraded to an even better type (ESS ES9039Q2M SABRE) and the headphone amplifier is really solid with THX AAA technologies.

All the world's music is at your fingertips wirelessly. The well-maintained Finnish user interface works on both Apple and Android phones and tablets.

With the Dirac Live room correction feature now also available, you can use advanced Dirac room correction technology to measure room acoustics to eliminate standing waves, reverberations and other unwanted distortions. This also requires the optional RCK calibration kit (sensitive and accurate microphone, USB cable set) and a license from Dirac .

BEAUTY AND INTELLIGENCE.

It features an audiophile-grade DAC ( ESS ES9039Q2M SABRE) that not only supports 24-bit/192kHz audio processing, but also supports MQA master-quality playback. Powerful software features let you customize your player's listening settings in a variety of ways.

WORKS WELL WITH OTHERS TOO.

Now you can conveniently connect your TV to NODE via HDMI eARC and use the TV remote control to adjust the volume. In addition, there is an analog or digital input for connecting a turntable, for example. NODE can be connected to both wireless and wired networks quickly and easily. Apple users can also take advantage of AirPlay 2 features and headphones can be connected wirelessly via Bluetooth (aptX Adaptive) or traditionally with a cable.

High-quality music listening can take place in any room of your home. It is made possible by our unique multi-room application. Bluesound NODE uses the award-winning BluOS operating system, which is the only platform in the world that allows up to 64 different rooms / players in the same system.
