FEATURES
COMPACT ALL-IN-ONE WIRELESS STUDIO-QUALITY SPEAKER.
Place the PULSE on a bookshelf, countertop or end table, and hear the difference that 50 Watts of bi-amplified stereo sound can bring to any room. A patented dual-acoustic chamber with state-of-the-art DSP equalization maximizes bass power and clarity, while the high-performance 5.25” woofer pumps beautifully blended full-range sound into any room.
MADE FOR MORE THAN MP3.
Of course Bluesound is compatible with MP3s – and just about every other digital format ever created – but Bluesound was purpose-built for high-res audio. While other companies put a premium on style, Bluesound has spared no expense on the integration of advanced, innovative audio technologies that deliver blazingly fast error-free playback in maximum studio-master recording quality, resulting in absolutely unbeatable performance.
HIFI YOUR WIFI.
The PULSE uses your home wireless network, and sets up quickly. With an advanced WiFi antennae design and blazing-fast processors, Bluesound ensures that there are no skips or delays in any corner of your home – even when streaming high-res audio files. Play your music in perfect sync, or play different music simultaneously, to any player in any room.
