Bluesound HUB Wireless audio source adapter

Features

Bluesound Hub: Add the Bluesound Hub to practically any non-BluOS enabled audio source and transmit your music to one or many Bluesound players, amplifiers, and speakers (all sold separately) around your home. Thanks to the Hub's line-level, Phono, digital, and HDMI inputs, audio sources like a turntable, CD player, or TV instantly become network-connected and are new sources from which your Bluesound system can play audio. A single Hub can stream one analog and one digital source simultaneously. Up to four Hubs can be added to a single Bluesound network for a total of eight streaming sources (4 analog, 4 digital).

BluOS Wireless High-Resolution Multiroom Audio: The Bluesound Hub is part of the BluOS wireless high-resolution multiroom audio eco-system - consisting of powered speakers, soundbar speakers, amplifiers, players, and hard-drives. The BluOS wireless high-resolution multiroom audio ecosystem uses your home's wired or wireless network to connect multiple Bluesound products and play your music in perfect sync, or different music simultaneously, anywhere in your home. Using advanced technologies, BluOS can wirelessly transmit lossless music up to 24-bit/192kHz at ultra-fast speeds with no lag and zero loss in sound quality.

BluOS Controller App: The free BluOS Controller app (for Apple iOS 9.3-up, Android OS 5.0-up, Windows PC (Vista-up), and Mac OS X 10.15-up) turns your mobile device or computer into a full-featured wireless remote control for the Bluesound Hub and the BluOS wireless multiroom audio system. The BluOS Controller app on your compatible device uses your home's WiFi network to connect with Bluesound devices, so you can play all the music you love anywhere in your home for a wireless multiroom music experience.

Wired or Wireless Network Connection: The Bluesound Hub requires a wired or wireless connection to your home's network router. It features a Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 jack connector for a hardwired connection and built-in 2.4/5GHz dual-band WiFi 802.11 b/g/n/ac for a wireless connection. The 5GHz WiFi band offers a faster and more reliable connection with fewer interruptions and dropouts. Either network connection allows you to stream your connected audio sources to other Bluesound components around your home.

• Wired Ethernet Setup: An Ethernet wired connection to the network is simple and requires no setup. If you wish to use the wired connection, simply connect the Bluesound Hub directly to your router or home network using an Ethernet cable (sold separately).
• Wireless WiFi Setup: A WiFi wireless connection requires setup through the BluOS app on your Apple iOS or Android device. If you are on a Windows PC (7/8/10) or Apple Mac, you'll use Bluesound's web browser based application. You'll be walked you through the set-up process step-by-step.

HDMI eARC: The Bluesound Hub is equipped with a HDMI eARC (enhanced audio return channel) jack for connection to your TV's HDMI eARC or ARC input. Use the Hub with a pair of Bluesound Pulse speakers (sold separately) to upgrade your TV sound. Audio from the HDMI eARC jack can also be played back and wirelessly distributed to other Bluesound components in your home for multiroom playback.

Optical & Coaxial Digital Inputs: The Bluesound Hub is outfitted with an optical (toslink) digital input and a coaxial (RCA) digital input for the connection of a DVD, Blu-ray, or SACD player. The optical & coaxial digital inputs support up to 24-bit/192kHz stereo 2-channel PCM audio. Audio from the optical and coaxial digital inputs can be played back and wirelessly distributed to other Bluesound components in your home for multiroom playback.

Line Level Analog Input: The Bluesound Hub feature a stereo line-level analog RCA input for connection of a CD or tape player. Audio from the level-level analog input can be played back and wirelessly distributed to other Bluesound components in your home for multiroom playback.

Phono MM Input: The Bluesound Hub offers a Phono MM input with a built-in low noise, wide-bandwidth Phono preamp for connection of a turntable with a MM (moving magnet) cartridge. Audio from the Phono MM input can be played back and wirelessly distributed to other Bluesound components in your home for multiroom playback.

Power Requirements: The Bluesound Hub features a USB-C port, plus comes with a 6.5' USB-C to USB-A cable and USB/AC power adapter to plug into an AC power outlet or surge protector (sold separately).
