Bluesound Powernode 4 Wireless Music Streaming Amplifier(2025)
The Bluesound POWERNODE is a high-performance streaming amplifier that combines powerful DirectDigital™ amplification (100W per channel in 2ch stereo mode; 80W per channel in 3ch LCR mode) with hi-res audio streaming and seamless AV integration. That's right - the POWERNODE is now capable of driving the front three AV channels as part of a simple three or five channel surround setup.
Designed for modern living, it connects easily via HDMI eARC, supports wireless pairing with Bluesound speakers and subwoofers, and delivers stunning clarity for both music and movies.
With access to over 20 streaming services through BluOS, intuitive app control, and a sleek, space-friendly design, the POWERNODE is the ultimate all-in-one solution for audiophile-grade sound in any room.
The Gen-4 POWERNODE's input/output stages are completely redesigned, with DirectDigital technology now providing greater power and higher efficiency than ever before, at lower distortion levels.
The N331's headphone amplifier is upgraded to THX AAA, and the unit is now Dolby Digital, DSD and DIRAC compatible (additional license cost applies for DIRAC use). It also features USB-C for future connectivity options, as well as sub out, Optical, eARC, USB and analogue inputs as previously.
