Description

The Bluesound HUB is a compact network audio accessory that brings any wired audio source into your Bluesound multi-room system.

Connect a turntable, CD player, TV, or any other audio device to the HUB and it instantly becomes a wireless source that any Bluesound player on your network can access - in any room, simultaneously if you choose.

Five inputs cover virtually every source type: HDMI eARC with CEC for TVs, coaxial RCA and Toslink optical for digital sources, stereo RCA for analogue line-level devices, and a dedicated moving magnet phono stage for turntables.

The HUB can stream one analogue and one digital source at the same time to different Bluesound players around the home, and up to four HUBs can run on a single network giving you eight simultaneous streams.

It connects via Wi-Fi 5 or Gigabit Ethernet, is powered by USB-C, and adds virtually nothing in terms of noise - the line input SNR exceeds 100 dB, and the MM phono stage exceeds 80 dB.

Bring Any Source into BluOS: Connect a turntable, CD player, TV, cassette deck, or any other audio source to the HUB and stream it to any Bluesound player on the network - freeing you from the physical location of the source device.
Built-In MM Phono Stage: The audiophile-grade moving magnet phono preamp lets you connect a turntable directly, with SNR exceeding 80 dB and distortion below 0.03% across 20-20 kHz, delivering whole-home vinyl streaming without a separate phono stage.
Five Input Options: HDMI eARC (with CEC), coaxial RCA, Toslink optical, stereo RCA analogue, and MM phono - covering digital TV audio, CD players, turntables, and any analogue line-level source.
Simultaneous Dual Streaming: Each HUB streams one analogue and one digital source at the same time to different Bluesound players. Up to four HUBs can be used on a single network, supporting eight simultaneous streams.
USB-C Powered, Ultra Compact: Measuring just 143 x 153 x 45 mm and powered externally via USB-C, the HUB is easy to position anywhere near your source equipment - on a shelf, behind a TV, or beside a turntable - with minimal visual impact.
Wi-Fi 5 or Gigabit Ethernet: Dual-band Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) or Gigabit Ethernet gives you a choice of wired or wireless connection to your BluOS network, with full control from the BluOS app on iOS, Android, Windows, or macOS.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Bluesound HUB and what does it do?

The Bluesound HUB is a network audio accessory that connects any wired audio source - such as a turntable, CD player, TV, or cassette deck - to your Bluesound multi-room system. Once connected, that source becomes available to stream wirelessly to any Bluesound player on your network, effectively removing the physical location constraint of your source equipment.

Can I connect a turntable directly to the Bluesound HUB?

Yes - the HUB has a dedicated moving magnet phono input with a built-in MM phono preamp, so you can connect a turntable with a moving magnet cartridge directly without a separate phono stage. The phono stage delivers an SNR exceeding 80 dB and distortion below 0.03%, making it suitable for quality vinyl playback throughout the home via your Bluesound system.

How many sources can the Bluesound HUB stream at once?

Each HUB can stream two sources simultaneously - one analogue (line or phono) and one digital (HDMI eARC, optical, or coaxial) - to different Bluesound players at the same time. Up to four HUBs can be used on a single network, supporting a total of eight simultaneous streams from different sources across multiple rooms.

Does the Bluesound HUB have any audio outputs?

The HUB is an input-only network accessory - its audio output is entirely via the BluOS network. It has no physical analogue or digital audio outputs. The HUB captures audio from connected sources and distributes it wirelessly to Bluesound players, which then handle playback and connection to your speakers or amplifier.

How does the Bluesound HUB connect to the network?

The HUB connects via either dual-band Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) or Gigabit Ethernet, whichever suits your installation. It is powered via an external USB-C power adapter (included in the box with international plug adapters), which keeps the unit compact and allows flexible placement near source equipment without needing a mains socket for the HUB itself.
