BlueSound Powernode N331 wireless Streaming Integrated Amplifier

With the new POWERNODE (N331), Bluesound presents a powerful streaming amplifier that enriches modern living spaces with high-resolution sound and seamless AV integration. Designed for discerning music lovers and home theater enthusiasts, this compact all-in-one unit combines audiophile sound quality, multi-room capability, and intelligent operation in a sleek design.

Uncompromising performance thanks to DirectDigital amplification

At the heart of the POWERNODE (N331) is a redesigned circuit featuring the latest DirectDigital amplifier technology and innovative gallium nitride (GaN) transistors. This combination enables exceptionally clean signal processing while maintaining high energy efficiency. In stereo mode, the amplifier delivers 2 x 100 watts, while in a 3.1 setup with a center speaker, 80 watts per channel are available. The result: powerful, distortion-free sound with impressive dynamics and excellent detail reproduction – for both music and films.

Intelligent AV integration without cable clutter

The POWERNODE (N331) was specially designed for modern living rooms where simplicity and design are just as important as sound quality. Thanks to HDMI eARC, the amplifier can be connected directly to the TV for high-quality TV sound. The rear panel features connections for left and right speakers, a center channel, and a subwoofer. The POWERNODE thus replaces a traditional AV receiver – without the complexity or space required.

In addition, Bluesound's wireless surround solution offers the option of expanding the device into a complete wireless 5.1 home theater system - in combination with the PULSE Wireless speakers and the PULSE SUB+.

Hi-Res Streaming with BluOS – Your Music, Anywhere

Like all Bluesound devices, the new POWERNODE is based on the BluOS platform, known for its stability, versatility, and sound fidelity. With support for over 20 music services—including TIDAL, Qobuz, Spotify, Amazon Music, and Deezer—the system offers access to a virtually unlimited music library.

Playback is in high resolution with support for 24-bit/192 kHz, MQA, and DSD256. Users can also stream their own music collection or access worldwide stations via internet radio. The BluOS Controller app for iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows allows convenient control of the POWERNODE in any room—either individually or in conjunction with other BluOS-compatible speakers in multi-room operation.

Diverse connection options for maximum flexibility

The POWERNODE (N331) is fully equipped to integrate a variety of audio sources. Connections include:

• HDMI eARC for TV connection
• optical and analog audio input
• USB-C port
• Bluetooth with aptX Adaptive for high-quality wireless streaming
• 6.3 mm headphone output with dedicated THX AAA amplifier – according to the manufacturer, the most linear headphone amplifier in the world

The system can optionally be expanded with Dirac Live to perfectly adapt the sound to the respective listening environment using precise room correction.

Elegant design meets user-friendliness

In addition to its technical sophistication, the POWERNODE (N331) impresses with its modern, understated design. The casing is available in matte black or white and blends discreetly into any home environment. A glass touch panel with a proximity sensor allows direct control of the device. Five freely programmable preset buttons allow you to instantly launch favorite sources or playlists – without the need for a smartphone or app.

Whether as a space-saving streaming solution on the shelf or as the heart of a full-fledged home cinema system: The POWERNODE (N331) adapts flexibly to your needs and combines high sound quality with intuitive operation.
