Wireless Multi-Room Music Streaming Amplifier

The Bluesound POWERNODE N330 is a compact all-in-one wireless music streaming amplifier combining BluOS high-resolution streaming with 80 watts per channel of HybridDigital™ amplification.

Simply add a pair of passive loudspeakers and the POWERNODE becomes the heart of a complete Hi-Fi system, without requiring a separate streamer, DAC and amplifier.

Its HybridDigital™ amplifier delivers 80W × 2 into 8 ohms, with IHF dynamic power of 220W into 4 ohms and 130W into 8 ohms, providing sufficient power for a wide range of bookshelf and floorstanding loudspeakers.

The integrated BluOS platform supports high-resolution music playback up to 24-bit/192kHz, alongside services and technologies including AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect and Roon Ready.

For television systems, the POWERNODE incorporates HDMI eARC and Dolby Digital decoding, allowing TV audio to be played through a high-quality pair of Hi-Fi loudspeakers. A dedicated subwoofer output also makes it straightforward to create a powerful 2.1-channel TV and music system.

Connectivity includes two combination analogue/optical inputs, USB-A, Gigabit Ethernet, dual-band Wi-Fi and two-way Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX HD. There is also a 3.5mm headphone output and five-way loudspeaker binding posts.

Measuring just 220 × 70 × 190 mm (W × H × D) and weighing 1.78kg, the POWERNODE provides a remarkably complete Hi-Fi system from a very compact enclosure.

At Riverside HiFi, we can match the POWERNODE N330 with suitable loudspeakers, subwoofers and cabling, or integrate it into a complete BluOS multi-room or Control4 audio system.
