NODE ICON

BLUSOUND NODE ICON, REFERENCE MUSIC STREAMER.

From iconic to icon. The NODE ICON is a flagship wireless music streamer for the audio obsessed.
Every detail of the design has been carefully engineered to the highest standard of performance, from
its breakthrough Dual-Mono DAC design implemented to perfection with two flagship ESS SABRE
ES9039Q2M DACs, to its sleek aluminum chassis and beautiful 5” full-colour display. The NODE ICON
seamlessly connects to any high-performance amplifier, powered speakers or headphones, bringing
BluOS hi-res streaming, Apple AirPlay 2, THX® AAA technology, and more to your existing stereo setup.
With HDMI eARC, Dolby Digital and Dirac Live Ready, you can also transform the way you experience
music and TV with immersive sound and state-of-the-art room correction technology.

BENCHMARK SOUND QUALITY With carefully selected componentry, and a masterfully engineered
Dual-Mono DAC design, the NODE ICON sets a new benchmark for wireless music streamers. It uses
two of the latest ESS SABRE® ES9039Q2M DACs and a transparent circuitry design to deliver sound
with superior dynamic range, ultra-low distortion, and the highest possible resolution ever heard. DAC
performance is further enhanced by MQA Labs’ revolutionary technology, QRONO d2a, which corrects
any timing errors in the digital-to-analogue conversion process and realigns the timing response to the
original recording.

BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED FOR THE AUDIO OBSESSED With a bold industrial design for the next
generation of HiFi, the NODE ICON features a high-quality aluminum chassis, balanced XLR outputs, and
a beautiful 5” full-colour HD display. Its sleek gloss black finish blends seamlessly into any existing setup,
with audiophile-grade connections to support high-quality performance. It also supports DSD playback
and features the latest two-channel ES9826 SABRE ADC for true-to-source analog audio with virtually
no noise or distortion.

STREAM EVERYTHING Stream all the music ever recorded, from popular music streaming services to
your own digital music libraries, and access everything you listen to in the BluOS app. Apple AirPlay 2
and aptX™ Adaptive Bluetooth® are also built-in to let you enjoy even more music from more apps and
services. With HDMI eARC, you can easily connect the NODE ICON to your TV with a single cable and
bring hi-res music streaming together with your movie and gaming experiences.

GO BEYOND THE HIFI SYSTEM The NODE ICON can wirelessly connect to Bluesound speakers and
stereo components to create a multi-room music system connected by BluOS™ throughout your whole
home. With dual-band Wi-Fi for dropout free listening, you can play your new favorite track everywhere
or listen to different music and genres in different rooms with total control from your phone, tablet, or
desktop.

WORLD-CLASS HEADPHONE AMPLIFIER TECHNOLOGY Lifelike headphone listening is made possible
by THX AAA™ technology, the headphone amplifier that boasts the world's most linear response.
Its patented feed-forward error correction results in remarkably low noise and distortion, revealing
exceptional soundstage and clarity. Connect your high-performance headphones to the left or

right fullsized 1/4" headphone jacks and enjoy audiophile listening without fuss or compromise.

SMART ACOUSTICS The NODE ICON comes ready to intelligently fight bad room acoustics with Dirac
Live, available as an upgrade directly from Dirac. Use Dirac's app to measure your room acoustics and
eliminate standing waves, reverberations, and other unwanted distortions. The result is clear, balanced,
and detailed sound for your music and movie soundtracks. A calibration kit with a high-sensitivity
microphone is also required and available from Bluesound with additional purchase.
