World-Class Headphone Amplifier Technology
THX AAA™ technology enables lifelike headphone listening with its headphone amplifier, renowned for the world's most linear response. Its patented feed-forward error correction ensures remarkably low noise and distortion, delivering an exceptional soundstage and clarity. Plug your high-performance headphones into the full-sized 1/4" headphone jack and experience audiophile-quality listening without any compromise.
Connect Everything
The NODE offers a wealth of digital and analog inputs and outputs, making it exceptionally versatile. You can connect audio from your TV and gaming consoles using HDMI eARC, while dual-band Wi-Fi and gigabit ethernet ensure uninterrupted, high-quality music streaming. The proximity-sensing touch panel provides convenient control with access to up to five programmable presets. Available in matte black and white finishes, the NODE seamlessly integrates into any home environment.
Smart Acoustics
Your NODE is equipped to tackle poor room acoustics with Dirac Live, which can be upgraded directly from Dirac. Using Dirac's app, you can measure your room's acoustics and eliminate issues like bass traps, echoes, and other distortions from your audio. The result is clear, balanced, and detailed sound for both music and movie soundtracks. A calibration kit with a high-sensitivity microphone, available from Bluesound, is also required for optimal performance.
