More Music, More Rooms, More Fun: Versatile Bluesound HUB Wireless Audio Source Allows You To Stream Music from Any Source, Anywhere

The Bluesound HUB is an easy, affordable solution for the music lover who wants to hear their favorite tunes anywhere in their home. The ultra-sleek HUB allows you to stream music anywhere. Your system will be fully complete (and sonically cohesive) with the HUB, a versatile network accessory that connects to a wide variety of audio sources, allowing them to play back on any Bluesound player.

It's easy to turn any wired audio device into a multiroom player by adding a HUB to transmit music to one or many Bluesound players around the home, wirelessly. Serving as a handy audio source adapter, the HUB enables you to stream virtually any audio source, anywhere.

With the BluOS ecosystem, streaming audio is more flexible than ever. You can enjoy your favorite music from numerous audio sources—like a turntable or CD player—in any other connected room of your home.

The HUB's array of digital and analog input options includes HDMI eARC, coax digital, TosLink optical, analog RCA, and a moving-magnet (MM) phono input. Each HUB can simultaneously stream one digital and one analog source, and up to four HUBs can be supported on a single network.

With the user-friendly BluOS app, the HUB is easily selectable as an input. A few taps in the app allows you to control your entire multiroom system from your smartphone, tablet, or computer. And if you've got a house full of people with different tastes in music, the HUB can play one analog and one digital stream simultaneously to different Bluesound or BluOS players. Let the jukebox party begin!

With a minimalist design and a choice of high-speed dual-band Wi-Fi or wired Gigabit Ethernet connection options, the HUB provides unlimited placement flexibility. (You don't have to move players around or deal with wires.) By keeping its USB-C connected power supply external, the HUB stays compact, creating more opportunities for you to add more HUBs around the house to create an audio paradise.

Vinyl lovers will enjoy the HUB's built-in, audiophile-grade MM phono stage preamp, which brings the audio from your turntable to all your Bluesound players for whole-home turntable streaming. The HUB acts as a networked, low-noise, wide-bandwidth phono pre-amp, delivering spectacular audio quality so you can enjoy your LP collection in any room—or in every room of your home. Plus, you can audition the HUB risk-free, with the confidence that comes with our 100% Music Direct Satisfaction Guarantee.

Easy To Set Up, Easy To Operate

Each HUB can manage two sources simultaneously (one analog and one digital). You can add up to four HUBs to a single network using the simple setup wizard in the BluOS App. It's easy to control all your speakers and sources through the BluOS App on your smartphone, tablet or desktop.

Multiple Source Inputs

The HUB is compatible with nearly any audio input, including HDMI ARC for audio, coax, digital optical, and stereo analog. So, you have a wealth of options when it comes to connecting music sources to the BluOS network.

The Glory of Vinyl, Anywhere

The HUB's networked moving-magnet phono preamp delivers premium sound quality for your turntable. You can choose between dual-band Wi-Fi or a wired Gigabit Ethernet connection for a stable network audio performance.

Powered by USB-C

A universal USB-C plug-and-play connection makes powering the HUB easy and efficient. With only a small external power supply needed, the HUB has more space for dedicated audio inputs, increasing its usability and versatility while creating more opportunities for easy network source sharing.

Compact Design

With its compact shape, the HUB is designed to seamlessly blend into any environment. Four-way keyhole mounting slots allow for four different orientation options and easy cable management.
