Streaming virtually any source, anywhere with wireless audio source adaptor.

Bluesound has announced the release of its highly versatile network accessory, the Bluesound Professional HUB. Tailored to connect directly to a variety of audio sources, the HUB brings a flexible, yet powerful addition to the BluOS ecosystem.

The HUB’s industrial, compact design and dimensions — 1U rack height and 1/3 rack width — ensure a perfect fit in any environment, providing an aesthetic as pleasing as its performance. Its innovative design features four-way keyhole mounting slots, offering diverse orientation options and uncomplicated cable management.

Optimising flexibility, Bluesound has engineered the HUB to connect analogue and digital audio devices, transcending the constraints of wires and physical proximity. This is facilitated by dual-band Wi-Fi or wired gigabit ethernet.

The HUB accepts almost any audio input, including a HDMI eARC for TV sources, coax and optical digital, stereo analogue, and a moving magnet phono input for turntable connectivity. This compatibility ensures users have a wealth of options when integrating music sources into the BluOS network. The HUB can simultaneously manage two sources — one analogue, one digital.

A USB-C connection powers the HUB, delivering easy and efficient energy management. Additionally, the straightforward BluOS App setup wizard lets users incorporate up to four HUBs into a single network.

  • Network audio source-sharing with BluOS
  • Low-noise MM phono stage
