BLUESOUND NODE (N132) network player is very easy to connect to any stereo equipment, active speakers or home theater system. The new fourth-generation model is equipped with an HMDI eARC interface and a Dolby Digital decoder, which makes using the TV with NODE 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 NODE X, which was produced in limited quantities.

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

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

With the Dirac Live room correction feature available as an upgrade, you can use advanced Dirac room correction technology and measure room acoustics to remove standing waves, reverberations and other unwanted distortions. For this, you also need a calibration kit (sensitive and accurate microphone, USB cable kit) available at an additional cost.

With powerful software features, you can customize your player's listening settings in a versatile way.

WORKS WELL WITH OTHERS TOO.

Now you can easily connect your TV via the HDMI eARC connection to NODE and use the TV's remote control to adjust the volume as well. In addition to this, there is also an analog or digital input connection for connecting e.g. a record player. NODE can be connected to both wireless and wired networks easily and quickly. Apple users can also take advantage of AirPlay 2 features and the headphones can be connected wirelessly using Bluetooth (aptX Additive) or traditionally with a cable.
