Create a Surround Sound Group with a Node 2
Answered
Now we can create a Surround Sound Group with a Pulse Soundbar and two Pulse Flex Players. We can even add a PULSE SUB for a true Dolby Surround Experience. Really cool feature!
Would it not be extremly cool if we could create a Surround Sound Group with a Node 2 and 2 pulse flex players? This would make any system with a Node 2 possible to use as a 4.1 system.
Ultimately maybe it could be possible to add a center aswell, e.g. another Flex to create a 5.1 system?
What do you think?

Hi,
What Jorgen suggested is exactly what I've thought and would be really cool feature in the future. Personally I'm investing how to enlarge my current 2.0 system into 5.0 home theater. I definitely would like to keep my existing setup Node 2 + Genelec 8351 monitors which are quite decent to be used as front speakers and subwoofer is not required.

I have an NAD 758v3 which has BluOS built-in and I also would really love to be able to use wireless Bluesound speakers for rear surrounds. Running speaker cable completely across the room is such a hassle and eyesore. Although I wonder if that could work even when using a source which isn't the BluOS module or using the analog bypass source.

I’d like to make another request for this feature. I have passive surrounds already wired for my existing traditional system which I’m trying to partially replace with the soundbar 2i....i.e. the soundbar is repalcing my center and front left and right. I’d prefer to leave the passive surrou ds in place....it was a hassel to hide the speaker wire for them. Also, Trying to run ac power outlets so I can use the pulse flex as replacement surrounds is way too expensive. Would prefer to purchase a bluesound power node to push the passive surrounds along with my soundbar 2i and my subwoofer.

For all setups it would seem the soundbar configurable as either center or left/right/centre should be essential as soundbar has the eARC with the bandwidth for surround. In other words for separate left/center/right mode, in place of a flex as a centre, put the soundbar in mono as center and bring in a stereo pair for left and right.
This also allows dynamically configuring the soundbar back to all three channels for material that does not really need full surround.

My set up is a Node 2i, a pair of Bang Olufsen Beolab 8000, a B&W PW1 subwoofer, Apple TV gen5, Panasonic projector and a Samsung TV. All my speakers are active and I really like the feature with the power on to my Beolab 8000.Would love to be able to add back speakers and a center speaker in my set up. It would be a killer application for me.
