Product Information
Powerful, versatile with streaming options and now featuring a 3-channel amp, the Bluesound POWERNODE (2025) packs more than ever into its compact and stylish casing.
Bluesound. Evolved
Already a top-rated streaming amp, the Bluesound POWERNODE (2025) has been updated with a wide range of connectivity and performance improvements. Biggest of these is the switch from stereo outputs to 3-channel. Combined with Dolby Digital, with BluOS Bonded Speaker Link, this gives the option of seamless surround sound. There’s also more power. Improved connectivity includes USB-C, upgraded aptX Adaptive Bluetooth and an improved headphone output.
Bluesound – the premium choice for music streaming
Since it was first established, Bluesound has been committed to the highest quality, easy to use multiroom streaming system. Hi-Res music playback is at the heart of Bluesound, which is just one of the reasons it sounds so good.
Stream Hi-res music around your home - effortlessly
A wide range of Bluesound speakers and streamers let you set up a comprehensive music system around your home. Choose between Ethernet and advanced wi-fi for quick and easy set up with your existing home network. With a blazing-fast, Quad-Core, Arm processor at its heart, you can be assured of smooth, seamless sound with no skips or dropouts – even with Hi-Res music files. Play your music around your home in perfect sync or have different music playing in different rooms – the choice is yours.
Just add speakers – stereo or LCR
Now with a 3-channel output, the POWERNODE (2025) gives you more speaker options than ever. Use in LCR (Left, Centre, Rear) format and, by adding a centre speaker, you’ll enjoy crisp and clear dialogue from your movies and TV. With 80 watts per channel, there’s ample power for room-filling sound. Alternatively, switch to stereo mode and enjoy your music boosted to 100 watts per channel.
Upgrade to full surround sound
Making the move to full 5.1 surround is easy with the POWERNODE (2025). First off, for cinematic bass, simply add your choice of sub via the subwoofer output, or connect wirelessly to a PULSE SUB +. At the rear, wirelessly connect to your choice of PULSE speakers and achieve a true 5.1 system, with minimal extra wiring or effort. With its wide array of input connectivity, including HDMI eARC, the POWERNODE (2025) works effectively as a baby AVR.
Connect it all
Featuring an HDMI eARC socket, the POWERNODE (2025) connects directly with your TV. There are also more inputs than before. Use the dedicated RCA phono input for a hi-fi source such as a turntable pre-amp or CD player. The optical TOSLINK is perfect for linking to a games console. There’s now also a third AUX input, which can be used for either digital or analogue 3.5mm inputs. A USB-C interface makes the perfect connection for your computer or laptop.
Access your favourite streaming services and more

The system gives you intuitive control over 20+ streaming services and your own digital library.
