Rich, Immersive Soundstages and Detailed Multiroom Sonics Have Never Been Easier to Experience, Thanks to the Bluesound Pulse M Omni-Hybrid Wireless Music Streaming Speaker

If you're seeking rich, audiophile sonics at an affordable price, look no further than the high-value Bluesound Pulse M Omni-Hybrid Wireless Music Streaming Speaker. Fun, easy to set up, and compact yet remarkably powerful, the Pulse M can fill your listening space (or, indeed, your entire home) with full-bodied music. This speaker's unique engineering features the Omni-Hybrid design: an up-firing, 5.25-inch woofer radiating 360 degrees, and two .75-inch tweeters, offset at 45 degrees to create ultra-wide audio dispersion. A true price-to-performance gem, the Pulse M provides an immersive, transformative soundstage that draws you closer to your favorite music.

Powered by a DSP-enabled smart amplifier with 80 watts of power, Pulse M offers exceptionally clear, lush audio from nearly any listening angle. Years of acoustic research and loudspeaker expertise, combined with precise engineering, has resulted in a compact speaker offering sound that is incredibly open and spacious. The Pulse M is designed to immerse you in sound—with more dynamics, midrange clarity, and compelling power than you would expect from a speaker of its size.

A custom-designed acoustic reflector above the Pulse M woofer diffuses unwanted sonic artifacts while directing the driver's higher frequencies out and away from the speaker. The driver assembly relies on a meticulously engineered power supply and a DSP smart amplifier to achieve real-time monitoring and control of frequency bandwidth, dynamic range, and distortion.

The Pulse M has no problem filling a room as a stand-alone speaker. But it can also be paired up to create a true two-channel listening experience that delivers ultra-wide soundstages, even at off-axis listening angles. Movie/TV fans and gamers can use multiple Plus M speakers as part of a Bluesound Dolby Surround home theater group to create a truly immersive experience. When part of the BluOS ecosystem, the Pulse M can work with up to 63 other BluOS players to deliver high-res audio to one or many rooms, simultaneously.

The Pulse M offers an array of ways to connect to your music, including built-in access to more than 20 natively integrated music services, such as TIDAL, Qobuz, Spotify, and Deezer, as well as thousands of internet radio stations from around the world, all accessed directly from the BluOS Controller app. If you have a digital music library, you can connect to it via WiFi or Ethernet, or play directly from a USB-A memory key.

With the Pulse M, Apple users can cast audio from their device or from iTunes with AirPlay 2; if you have other devices, you can use the high-res aptX HD Bluetooth connection. Furthermore, wired sources can connect through the combo analog/digital 3.5mm input. Headphone lovers will appreciate the choice to listen using the 3.5mm jack or via aptX HD Bluetooth.

The innovative Pulse M comes with a 120-volt AC power cord, a 230-volt AC power cord, an Ethernet cable, and a TosLink optical to 3.5mm mini adapter. Like all Music Direct products, the Pulse M comes with the 100% Music Direct Satisfaction Guarantee. The Bluesound FS230 Floor Stand and Bluesound WM230 Wall Mount, both designed to work with this speaker, are also available from Music Direct.

Easy Placement, Elegant Design

The Pulse M configures its proprietary Omni-Hybrid driver design inside a compact, elliptical cabinet (8 inches high, 6¾ inches wide, and almost 6 inches deep) to create a space-saving design that easily fits into tight spaces in your home. A silicon trim rings the bottom panel of the Pulse M, cutting out unwanted acoustic vibrations when the speaker sits on a table or shelf. A second rubber insert can be removed to reveal a mounting screw—to be used with an adjustable floor stand accessory, or with the specialized mounting bracket—for quick, secure attachment to a wall or cabinet.

The Pulse M embodies a new design approach within Bluesound's all-in-one speaker lineup while staying true to the brand's minimalist look. Its elliptical shape and fabric covering will enhance any listening space. It's small enough to fit on your bedside table, allowing you to wake up to your favorite playlist. A beautiful, full-glass interface with proximity-sensing touch controls graces the top of the unit, featuring five quick-touch presets. You can program internet radio stations, playlists, and more into the presets for a one-touch solution to get the music started. The Pulse M is a high-profile performer that doesn't draw undue attention to itself: Its goal is to let nothing come between you and your music.

Control at Your Fingertips (or with Your Voice)

The Pulse M makes it simple to access your music in numerous ways, including easy control via the BluOS Controller app, where you can select your music, group players, and adjust the player and audio settings for a truly customized listening experience. Quick-access playback, including volume controls and five programmable presets, are available right on the top of the player with a proximity-sensing touch panel display.

Hands-free control is also possible, with support for voice assistants like Siri, Alexa, and Google Home. And the Pulse M feels right at home in a smart home, with drivers for Crestron, Control4, RTI, URC, Lutron, and other home-control systems.

Precision Engineering for Exceptional Sound

The Pulse M's integrated Smart DSP amplifier uses real-time information to make bandwidth and dynamics adjustments, allowing bass to go deeper and stay tighter. In the context of the Pulse M's acoustic design and configuration, the Smart DSP amplifier helps realize the best combination of frequency response, sound power control, and wide dispersion.

Stereo, Surround, and Multiroom Capabilities

The Pulse is a capable performer on its own, but its flexibility for your audio environment makes it that much more valuable. You can add in a second Pulse M to create a wireless stereo pair and take advantage of true two-channel separation. A stereo pairing can also dramatically improve your TV's sound for movies, games, and shows, while simultaneously decluttering the wires and speaker cables from your setup.

A pair of Pulse Ms can be added as surround speakers for a wireless home theater. Seamlessly compatible with other Bluesound products (also available from Music Direct), which can handle your system's front channels, a pair of Pulse M speakers can be used as rear channels. Those two Pulse Ms will sync up perfectly in a home theater group to take care of the surround sound—putting you right in the middle of the action.

If you are already using a Bluesound player in your main listening area or in another room in the home, the Pulse M offers a high-performance, all-in-one speaker solution to extend high-res listening into other spaces, such as kitchens, bedrooms, and offices.
