A streaming music system for the audio enthusiast:
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 giving you the most from high-resolution audio files. The makers of NAD electronics and PSB speakers used their years of audio experience to create this 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.
Turn your CD collection into a bit-perfect digital music archive:
If you’ve amassed a large collection of CDs, then the Vault was designed for you. This 1TB storage drive has a built-in CD slot, so you can copy your entire collection for easy access. It defaults to ripping bit-perfect digital copies of your CDs, so you’ll hear every detail contained in the original versions. Plus, you can transfer other digital music files which you may have stored on various computers around the house, and keep them all on the Vault for easy access. Once you’ve loaded your collection, you’ll be able to enjoy all of your music in any room with a Bluesound player. The Vault itself is also a Bluesound music player — connect it to your receiver, amplifier, or other audio system using its digital or analog outputs.
A wide variety of music options:
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 their favorite album or playlist, you can listen to it through your system.
Create a high-resolution multi-room music system:
Combine multiple Bluesound players to enjoy high-end sound throughout your home.
– Powernode: This amplified player connects to a pair of speakers. It may be small, but it’s powerful enough to drive a pair of floor-standing speakers.
– Pulse: This all-in-one player is perfect for almost any room. It has built-in PSB speakers for great sound in a compact package.
– Node: This small player connects to an amplified system, like a bookshelf audio system or a home theater system.
Place a Pulse in your kitchen, attach a Node to your home audio system, and use the PowerNode to drive your high-end speakers.
Control in the palm of your hand:
In addition to creating high-end music players, Bluesound also developed free apps for Apple® and Android™ so you can control the system easily with your portable device. Pull up the app on your smartphone or tablet and you can select songs and adjust volume. Play music in one room, all rooms, or different tracks in different spaces around your home.
