{"product_id":"bluesoundhub","title":"Bluesound Hub Multiroom Streaming Hub","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Bluesound Hub is a multiroom streaming hub that feeds analog and digital sources such as a turntable, CD player or TV into the BluOS multiroom system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's the bridge between your old favorite source and the networked setup: once connected, vinyl, TV sound and more land wirelessly on every BluOS player in the house. No second cable running across the living room, no swapping plugs behind the rack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Bluesound Hub?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause plenty of good sources can do everything – except network. Not the turntable, not the CD player, and the TV only halfway. The Hub gives them exactly that: via HDMI eARC, optical and coaxial digital input, line RCA and a low-noise phono MM input, it takes in the signals and distributes them over BluOS to your Bluesound players. Two streams run at the same time – say, vinyl in the living room and internet radio in the kitchen, from a single flat box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePhono MM input:\u003c\/strong\u003e connect a turntable with an MM cartridge directly, no separate phono stage needed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHDMI eARC with CEC:\u003c\/strong\u003e TV sound wirelessly on your BluOS speakers, volume controlled with the TV remote.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo parallel streams:\u003c\/strong\u003e one analog and one digital source at the same time, into different rooms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStable network:\u003c\/strong\u003e dual-band Wi-Fi 5 and Gigabit LAN for the wired option.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlat housing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45 mm high, with a mounting template – it disappears behind the rack instead of taking up space on it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Hub for – and who isn't it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal if you already have Bluesound players like Pulse, Powernode or Node and finally want to bring your analog sources into the multiroom system. Straight talk: the Hub has no analog output and no headphone output. It doesn't feed a system directly, only the network. So it's no good as a pure phono stage for your amplifier – for that you need a classic phono preamp. And without at least one BluOS player in the house, it simply stays silent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA small box that closes the gap between the analog world and multiroom – tidy, without cable clutter, and without having to retire a favorite source. No paid streaming subscription is required anywhere along the way: internet radio, your own network files, plus vinyl, CD and TV all work without one. Which sources make sense to integrate in your setup is something the experienced team at HD Zürisee in Wädenswil is happy to work out with you over the phone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e multiroom streaming hub (BluOS), network feed-in device\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e HDMI eARC (with CEC), 1× optical (TOSLINK), 1× coaxial (RCA, 75 ohm), 1× line RCA stereo, 1× phono MM (RCA)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e no audio outputs – playback happens exclusively via BluOS over the network\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput level:\u003c\/strong\u003e not applicable, no analog or digital audio output present\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeadphone output:\u003c\/strong\u003e not present\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSimultaneous streams:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 per Hub (1× analog, 1× digital)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNetwork:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac, dual-band 2.4\/5 GHz), Gigabit Ethernet (RJ45)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSB:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1× type A, exclusively for BluOS firmware updates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eResolution:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16–24 bit, up to 192 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 Hz – 20 kHz ±0.3 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSignal-to-noise ratio:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026gt;100 dB (line), \u0026gt;80 dB (phono MM)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal harmonic distortion:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026lt;0.03 % (20 Hz – 20 kHz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower supply:\u003c\/strong\u003e USB-C power adapter (100–240 V AC, output 5 V \/ 2 A), 0.5 W network standby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (W × H × D):\u003c\/strong\u003e 143 × 45 × 153 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.63 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's included:\u003c\/strong\u003e power adapter, 3 plug adapters, USB-C cable, Ethernet cable, mounting template, quick start guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need a Bluesound player for the Hub?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Hub takes in sources and distributes them over the network, but has no speaker or amplifier of its own. You need at least one BluOS player – say, a Powernode, a Pulse or a Node connected to your existing system. Multiple players can be grouped together freely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect my turntable directly?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Hub has a low-noise phono preamp for MM cartridges. You connect a turntable with an MM cartridge directly; for MC cartridges you need an additional matching phono stage in front of it. The record then plays in every room with a BluOS player, and you don't have to swap any cables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Hub have an analog output or a headphone output?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, neither. The Hub outputs its signal exclusively over the network to BluOS players. That's why it has neither a fixed nor a variable audio output, nor a headphone jack. If you're looking for a phono stage for your amplifier, a classic phono preamp is the better choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Hub bring TV sound into the multiroom system?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, via HDMI eARC. The TV sound lands wirelessly on your BluOS speakers, and thanks to CEC you control the volume with the TV remote. That turns your existing Bluesound speakers into your TV sound, without an extra soundbar under the screen and without another device in the rack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Bluesound Hub at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause integrating old sources into a multiroom system has a few pitfalls in practice, and we know them. We plan your BluOS system with you, set it up, and are still there afterwards, with our own technician in-house.
