Stream all the music
Boasting access to over 20 natively integrated music services and thousands of internet radio stations, it’s operated using the BluOS Controller app. It can play from a personal music library, via wi-fi, Gigabit Ethernet, or from an external USB drive. Built-in AirPlay 2 makes for easy integration into the Apple ecosystem, while users of other devices can utilize the aptX HD Bluetooth to stream audio directly to it. More traditional wired sources, such as a TV or a pre-amped turntable can be connected using the HDMI eARC or combo analog/digital input. The Powernode Edge can also integrate with other smart home controllers like Crestron, Control4, URC, RTI, ELAN, etc.. Hands-free control comes via voice assistants like Apple’s Siri, Amazon Alexa, and Google Assistant. The Powernode Edge comes in a black or white finish.
