Bluesound PULSE SUB+ Overview
Say hello to the all-new Bluesound PULSE SUB+, the latest addition to the Bluesound family. It is designed to add some seriously deep bass to any wireless or wired Bluesound system with the modern convenience of precision App control, building on all that was good about the original Pulse Sub and taking it to the next level. Like the rest of its Bluesound family, the PULSE SUB+ is a from-scratch design created to pair practicality and performance in one elegant box. Acoustically, the design approach is true to our musically-inclined HiFi heritage, and results in a tight, quick, incredibly musical subwoofer. We’ve aimed for maximum output from minimal size, built to blend into any room and any décor, and staying true to our belief that a subwoofer doesn’t have to be as large as the furniture you sit on! This philosophy results in a sleek, compact, and incredibly versatile product that satisfies in the both the ‘performance’ and the ‘looks’ department. With the introduction of the PULSE SUB+, Bluesound’s subwoofer solution is no longer just a soundbar accessory product – in other words, it’s not an afterthought. The SUB+ is a robust, connected, and smart solution purpose-built for endless listening as an integrated part of a customer’s home listening setup. Your music, movies, shows and videos have never felt so good.
Just Add Bass
The SUB+ takes Bluesound subwoofer performance up a notch – or should we say, down some notches. Boasting an 8” woofer and a 150W amplifier, there is ample power and surface area to drive some seriously long wavelengths through your home. With an on-axis ±3dB bass response of 24-150Hz, the SUB+ digs deep; that isn’t really a surprise. What is surprising is that it manages to get this low while maintaining its small footprint.
Place it Anywhere
Compact and slim, with angled lines that complement its minimal footprint, the SUB+ fits beside, behind, or even underneath living room furniture. It can hang on a wall too – with a clever multi-orientation mounting design, the SUB+ can be mounted horizontally or vertically to help with cable management. Ease and flexibility are the name of the game.
Added Smarts
Now featuring WiFi and networking capabilities, the SUB+ is a high-IQ addition to any Bluesound system. With dual-band 802.11ac WiFi built-in, the SUB+ comes prepared to play its part in a WiFi connected world. With built-in BluOS software controls for gain, crossover, and phase adjustment, fine-tuning your sub setup is easy and instant. And the smarts don’t stop at networking – the all-new amplifier platform uses Smart DSP Amp technology to learn, monitor, and adjust to the real-time characteristics of the subwoofer. This means the SUB+ squeezes out every last possible bit of audio performance.
Flexible Connection
When it comes to your audio setup, options are a good thing. The SUB+ is a wireless, smart subwoofer, but it still has an analog line-level input for a good, old-fashioned wired connection. While the best overall experience comes by using your network to pair with another Player through BluOS, you’re not limited to just the one method. If wired audio is your preference, the SUB+ gives you that option. This means the SUB+ will even work with products that don’t have BluOS on-board.
Musicality
Adding a subwoofer to your system is meant to complement your listening experience – you don’t want a sub ‘muddying’ it all up! You don’t expect added low-frequency thumps where they don’t belong, especially when it comes to music. The SUB+ keeps things fast, tight, and clean, with an amplifier platform that is meant to be musical first. Designed by the same NAD engineers who continually focus on efficiency and effortless dynamics, the SUB+ is the perfect choice for a genuine musical experience.
Multi-sub Pairing
Why limit your setup to a single sub? If you want to multiply the incredible low-end rumble, just add a second SUB+ to your system. This is all possible through the BluOS App, with a few simple steps in the setup wizard. Use the advanced audio controls to dial in your in-room settings for the ultimate listening experience.
