Hello,

I want to connect my powernode N330 wired to my 2 pulse 2i speakers using the 2 left-right connection on the powernode. what do I need for this.                                                                   I would also like to know if this gives the best sound quality

Greetings from the Netherlands.

Gerard.

  You don’t do this!

  The POWERNODE is designed to connect to a pair of passive speakers (no amplifier in-built)

  The Pulse 2i speakers can access the music library and music streaming services you have configured using the BluOS app just as long as they are on the same local network. If you attach an external source to the inputs on any Bluesound device it can also be accessed from your other devices.

  They will playback at the best quality of the music service / library you have configured.

  Hi, do you have a diagram/schematic to illustrate how to do this? I have a pair of B&W speakers that I biz-wired with my previous amp. Is it possible to bi-wire with the Powernode2i? Thanks

  Hi Jim,

  No diagram needed for the OP’s case, just a case of using either Ethernet or Wi-Fi and connecting power.

  You can Bi-Wire with the Powernode it’s just that most speaker cables are not built to do this correctly and you have to figure out termination at the Powernode just like you did with your previous amp.

   Is it possible to bi-wire with the Powernode2i?

  We don't recommend it. Consider bi-amping by purchasing two POWERNODE EDGEs and creating a stereo-pair fixed group. Here's how; https://support.bluos.net/hc/en-us/articles/360000220107
