HUB - Network accessory for versatile audio connection

The Bluesound Professional HUB is a versatile network accessory that enables the connection of analog and digital audio devices to a BluOS ecosystem for networked streaming. The HUB allows users to play audio sources such as televisions and business music players in one or more zones of an installation without being restricted by cables and physical proximity.

Highlights:

• Connect a TV to the HUB's HDMI eARC input to share TV audio over a BluOS network.
• Five input options: HDMI eARC, coaxial, digital optical, stereo analogue and a moving magnet phono stage allow versatile source and streaming possibilities.
• Simultaneously play an analogue and a digital stream on any Bluesound Professional or BluOS player on the network.
• Connect to the network with dual-band WiFi or Gigabit Ethernet.
• Simply select the HUB as the audio source in the BluOS app.
• Powered by USB-C power delivery.

The Bluesound Professional HUB creates flexible connection options for your audio devices and enables seamless streaming in your BluOS network.
