Bluesound Node:

Enjoy high-end audio in more rooms of your home. While there are many streaming speakers in today’s audio landscape, Bluesound’s multi-room music system focuses on helping you enjoy the most from high-resolution audio files. The makers of NAD electronics and PSB speakers relied on their decades of audio experience to create this new line of multi-room audio gear for the discerning listener. And you can control the Bluesound system using a free app for smartphone or tablet.

The Node turns your audiophile-grade audio system into a network-capable Bluesound player. Connect the Node’s analog or digital outputs to your existing system and you’ll be able to play all the music stored on your home network, as well as Internet radio stations and more.

Bluesound was designed to play just about any digital music you might have in your collection, including high-resolution files up to 24-bit/192kHz. Access the music stored on your computer or a networked hard drive, or tap into Internet radio stations and online streaming services like Rdio™. Each Bluesound player also features a USB input for playing files “locally” from a thumb drive or hard drive, so if a friend brings over a favorite album or playlist, you can listen to it through your system.

Combine multiple Bluesound players to enjoy high-end sound throughout your home.
