Sbooster AIB Bluesound NODE Connection Kit

Sbooster AIB Bluesound NODE Connection Kit Product Description: 

Elevate Your Bluesound Node N130/X/N132 with Sbooster's AIB

The Sbooster Active Interface Board (“AIB”) is designed to upgrade and replace the low-cost internal switch-mode power supply of an audio device, enabling the device to be powered by an Sbooster power supply.

Initially, the AIB was designed for the Bluesound Node N130. Following the release of the Bluesound Node X, the compatibility with the Node X was tested, and it was confirmed that the AIB is compatible with the Node X.

An updated version of the AIB has been released, now also compatible with the Bluesound Node N132. This product is explicitly labeled as “Node N132/X/N130.”

Sbooster’s AIB, paired with the BOTW P&P ECO 5-6V MKII linear power supply, elevates the sound quality of the Node N130/X/N132 to a whole new level. The Sbooster Node AIB stands apart from other Node upgrade solutions due to its unique MAXimalistic upgrade concept, which enhances every aspect of the stock power supply circuit, starting from the power connector. 

The AIB features Sbooster's special C8 connector with gold-plated pins, hand-picked audio-grade components, and silver-plated OCC wires. The two-layer gold-plated PCB is meticulously crafted and assembled in Bulgaria.

To ensure optimal performance, the design includes triple anti-oscillation circuits that stabilize both the AIB and the NODE's internal power rails. Additionally, an advanced central grounding point creates a pure reference for the circuits, while the Sbooster Decoy V2 helps move internal RFI away from the audio circuitry.

The complete design consists of the following parts:

- Sbooster Node AIB

- BOTW P&P ECO 5–6V MKII upgrade power supply

- Sbooster Purified fuse
