After the huge success of the Bluesound Node network player over the last 5 years, the brand is now entering the high-end segment in terms of functionality, ergonomics and musicality. The Bluesound Node Icon features a host of technical and technological innovations designed to offer the widest possible audience the very highest level of Audiophile quality at an unbeatable price.
THE BLUESOUND NODE ICON: Enclosure and connections
The NODE ICON has been designed to meet the requirements of the most demanding music lovers. It is built in an elegant, high-quality black aluminium chassis. The front is equipped with a superb 5-inch (12.7mm) HD colour screen that displays information about the disc, track or artist, depending on the music service used.
The top of the Bluesound Node Icon case features a black lacquered panel incorporating touch-sensitive buttons and status LEDs. It features 5 buttons for accessing presets, a slider for volume and two buttons for accessing the next or previous song.
The blue LED has two functions: depending on the colour (blue, white, red, flight) and the flashing, it indicates a dozen or so functional states of the Node (power on, network connection, silent mode, reset, etc.). On each side of the box, there is a 6.33mm stereo jack headphone socket.
On the back of the Bluesound Node Icon is a connection panel that meets the needs of the most demanding music lovers.
