Product Information
Re-engineered for even higher performance, the Bluesound NODE (N132) is the original wireless hi-res music streamer at its best yet.
A classic that keeps getting better
Now in its fourth generation, the Bluesound NODE (N132) has benefitted from continuous improvement, keeping it at the top of its game. Bluesound have re-engineered this classic so that it now has an industry-leading ESS Sabre DAC (Digital to Analogue Convertor) at its heart, giving a boost to all aspects of digital sound. It also now features Dirac room correction support, a THX AAA headphone amp, Bluetooth aptX Adaptive connectivity and DSD file support, making it more competitive than ever.
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.
Premium sound
As well as the powerful, Quad-Core ARM processor, the latest NODE (N132) uses the latest ESS Sabre Q2M DAC. With a higher signal-to-noise ratio and lower distortion, you get to hear more detail, enhanced dynamics and a sound that’s more true-to-life – just as you’d expect from the audio streaming experts.
Access your favourite streaming services and more
Bluesound’s operating system, BluOS lets you stream, in Hi-Res, all your favourite music, podcasts and radio stations. Sync with personal music libraries via wi-fi and connect up to 200,000 tracks in lossless quality. Experience the studio quality sound of MQA music on Tidal, stream DSD music files, or connect and stream favourites with Apple AirPlay 2 and aptX Adaptive Bluetooth. The choice is yours.
A big upgrade in headphone sound
Now fitted with a THX AAA headphone amp, the NODE (N132) takes a big step up in headphone performance. THX’s leading amp technology gives an incredibly linear response for exceptional sound and remarkably low noise and distortion. For the best quality connection, the NODE (N132) is now fitted with a full-sized 6.35mm jack.
Connect to almost any system – wired or wireless
Whether you’re connecting to a hi-fi, AVR or speaker system, the NODE (N132) has you covered. For top quality Hi-res sound, take advantage of the HDMI eARC or USB-A audio outputs – ideal for connecting to an AVR or suitable DAC. Alternatively, there are also optical and coaxial digital outputs. For most hi-fi systems, simply connect to the AUX input via the RCA phono outputs. Want to go wireless? That’s not a problem. You can connect to your Bluetooth speaker (or headphones) via the two-way aptX Adaptive Bluetooth interface.
Optional state-of-the-art room correction
A great new feature for the latest NODE is the option of using the streamer with Dirac Live Room Correction. Purchase a Dirac license (at additional cost to the streamer) and you can take advantage of one of the most advanced room correction systems available. Using an optional mic and Dirac’s sophisticated room correction technology, you can tune the sound to your room, to perfection.
Stylish and unobtrusive
No bigger than a typical wi-fi router, the Bluesound NODE (N132) is as discreet and unobtrusive as ever. Choose from matte satin black or white finishes for the best fit with your décor. If you don’t have your phone or tablet to hand, the touch sensitive interface makes direct control easy.
