Hello everyone, 

Looking for some help and hoping someone can chime in please. I currently have a Gen 1 Pulse Soundbar connected via an Optical Input from my TV. I also have an active subwoofer connected out from the Pulse Soundbar. 

I'm planning to buy a lightly used Powernode N330 (2021 model) and connect a passive set of Focal speakers and my active Subwoofer to it. In addition I plan to connect my TV to the Powernode N330 via HDMI eARC, so I can utilize the setup for movie watching as well. 

I have two questions:

1. Will I be able to connect the Pulse Soundbar Gen 1 as a centre channel to the Powernode N330 (wirelessly) and also get stereo sound from the Focal speakers? Subwoofer will be connected as well to the Powernode. 

2. In addition I have a Turntable with a phono stage pre-out, which I intend to connect to the Powernode. Will I get stereo sound from my Focal speakers? The Subwoofer will be connected via the Powernode. 

Thank you.

  Hi Razi,
  
  Thank you for reaching out.

  1. No, the Pulse Soundbar Gen 1 cannot be used as a wireless centre channel with the Powernode N330 and your Focal speakers.
     
     
  2. Yes, you can connect your turntable with a phono preamp to the Powernode and get stereo sound from your Focal speakers along with the connected subwoofer.

  Thanks for #LivingHiFI
