Product Overview

The Bluesound NODE is the gold-standard of hi-resolution, multi-room audio players. It is a network music streamer that works with any amplifier or active speakers to conveniently bring the enjoyment of hi-resolution music to everyday life. It can be used as a standalone streamer alongside your preferred amplifier, or grouped with other Bluesound Players to create multi-room listening experiences. The NODE must be wired or connected wirelessly to your home network for full functionality.

This Quick Setup Guide will take you through the basic steps to get your NODE positioned, plugged in, and on your network.

Setup Steps

Step 1: Connect for Sound

Connect the ANALOG RCA, OPTICAL, or COAXIAL OUTPUT on your NODE to a matching INPUT on your audio system.

Using the Analog RCA output will utilize the NODE's internal DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter). Connecting with a digital output (Optical or Coaxial) will bypass the NODE's internal DAC, allowing your external DAC to be used.

Step 2: Plug in Your Player

Connect the AC power cord to the AC MAINS INPUT on the NODE and plug it into a power outlet. Watch for the LED indicator to turn solid green, indicating 'Hotspot' mode, ready for network setup.

Step 3: Add Your NODE to the Network

On your smartphone or tablet, download and open the BluOS App. The 'Add A Player' wizard within the app will guide you through the remaining setup steps to connect your NODE to your home network and complete the configuration.

Download the BluOS App from:
