Bluesound Power Node 2025
Bluesound connected integrated amplifier combining BluOS streaming, HDMI eARC and a subwoofer output, for a simplified stereo or home cinema setup.
Description
The Bluesound Powernode 2025 is a connected integrated amplifier, designed to drive a pair of speakers directly without additional electronics. It features the BluOS streaming platform and can also handle a simplified three-channel home cinema configuration, making it a versatile device for both music listening and TV sound.
Its nominal output power reaches 80 watts per channel in three-channel mode (left-centre-right), with IHF dynamic power climbing to 265 watts at 4 ohms and 140 watts at 8 ohms: enough to retain headroom on the most demanding musical passages. The signal-to-noise ratio of -102 dBA and a total harmonic distortion + noise of just 0.005% reflect a particularly clean sound floor, with no perceptible parasitic colouration.
The connectivity covers the essentials of current usage: USB-C, HDMI eARC for direct connection to a television with automatic sound management, optical input, stereo RCA, as well as Bluetooth 5.2 for receiving or sending sound wirelessly. A dedicated RCA subwoofer output, also available wirelessly to a PULSE SUB+ model, completes the set. On the network side, dual-band Wi-Fi 5 and the Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 port ensure a stable connection for streaming.
This model is aimed at those who wish to simplify a stereo or home cinema setup without multiplying components: a single amplifier, connected to the home network, is enough to power passive speakers while providing access to online streaming and locally stored music. Its compact format of 220 x 70 x 190 mm for 1.9 kg makes it easy to integrate into a living room or low cabinet.

What to check before buying used
Check that the BluOS update runs without getting stuck and that the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth module maintains a stable connection, as these connected amplifiers are prone to firmware failures after a long period of inactivity. Test each input (HDMI eARC, optical, USB-C) as well as the subwoofer output, and listen at high volume to detect any hiss or distortion on the power stage. Checking the RJ45 port and the device's recognition in the app is also recommended.
