INTEGRATE EXTERNAL MUSIC SOURCES INTO THE NETWORK

With its analog and digital inputs and outputs, the POWERNODE offers you the opportunity to continue using your existing HiFi components and integrate them into the wireless network. Whether it's a CD player or record player, your TV or a music server - you can easily stream your favorite songs from any connected music source and listen to them anywhere in the house.

UNLIMITED ACCESS TO MUSIC

By supporting AirPlay 2, which easily integrates all Apple iPhones, iPads and computers into your network, the POWERNODE 2i is one of the most flexible streamers around. You can also find high-resolution premium music services such as TIDAL ^® , Spotify ^® , Amazon Music HD and Qobuz ^® - as well as virtually all other popular streaming platforms and internet radio stations directly in the BluOS ^® Controller app. And of course, you can also access your locally stored downloads, your Apple Music library, and all other content on a NAS drive without turning on a computer.

HIGH COMPUTING POWER AND FAST DATA PROCESSING

A high-performance quad-core processor now enables the new BluOS ^TM streaming module to have over eight times higher computing power and four times faster storage speed. The POWERNODE also has an improved dual-band WLAN module and a high-resolution Bluetooth ^® aptX ^® HD radio connection is available for music streaming from a smartphone or tablet, which can also be used to control Bluetooth ^® headphones or speakers if necessary. Apple users can integrate the POWERNODE into their network via AirPlay 2 and the extremely powerful high-end D/A converter even enables decoding and streaming of MQA files, whose audio data can contain music in high-resolution studio quality.

MUSIC THROUGHOUT THE HOUSE

Using the BluOS ^® Controller app on your smartphone or tablet, you can network the POWERNODE 2i with several Bluesound speakers throughout the house and either supply individual players individually with specific music streams or control the entire multiroom system synchronously with the same music.
