BLUESOUND HUB NETWORK ACCESSORY ADDS MULTI-ROOM STREAMING TO LEGACY AUDIO SOURCES

Bluesound has announced the Bluesound HUB, a network accessory that connects to a variety of analogue and digital audio sources, bringing them into the Bluesound ecosystem for multi-room streaming.

BLUESOUND HUB NETWORK ACCESSORY

You can add a Bluesound HUB to any non-BluOS enabled audio source and transmit music to one or many Bluesound players around the home. Audio sources like a turntable or CD player instantly become network-connected and are new sources from which your Bluesound system can play music. The HUB also allows users to stream vinyl wirelessly.

CONNECTIVITY OPTIONS

From TVs to CD players, turntables to the latest gadgets, a host of inputs on the back panel: HDMI eARC, Coaxial, Digital Optical, Stereo Analog, and a moving magnet Phono stage supports the vast majority of music devices. Each HUB manages one source, and up to four Bluesound HUBs can be added to a single network.

BLUOS CONTROLLER APP

Equipped with BluOS, the HUB makes adding audio sources simple using the BluOS Controller app setup wizard. A few taps on the familiar BluOS app controls a whole multi-room system from a smartphone, tablet or computer.

COMPACT AND MINIMAL

With a 1U rack height, and 1/3rd rack width, external USB-C connected power supply, the HUB can be placed on shelves, behind TVs, or mounted with four different orientation options using its two keyhole mounting slots.

PHONOSTAGE

Streaming fans who also love vinyl will be especially appreciative of the HUB’s built-in MM phono stage preamp that brings audio from your turntable to any Bluesound player for whole-home turntable streaming. The HUB acts like a networked low noise, wide-bandwidth phono pre-amp.
