Bluesound Launches Professional Suite of Streaming Distributed Audio Products for Commercial Spaces at InfoComm 2019

Bluesound Professional is a new division of Lenbrook International, the home of brands such as NAD, PSB, and Bluesound, extending the group's reach from premium audio technologies for residential also to commercial applications. The new Bluesound Professional brand will be launching a raft of completely new products at InfoComm 2019, including multi-zone streamers, amplifiers, speakers, and controllers. The company aims to offer a versatile range of premium audio streaming solutions for commercial installers.

Bluesound introduced its new Pulse Soundbar at CEDIA 2016 and will be showcasing it at Rocky Mountain Audio Fest 2016 in Denver (7-9 October). This is the world’s first soundbar to support Master Quality Authenticated (MQA) high-resolution audio, joining Bluesound’s family of MQA-ready wireless Pulse speakers and Node players, enabling wireless hi-resolution music streaming to any room in the home.

NAD Electronics announced that MQA music will be supported on select BluOS-enabled NAD components, including its recently expanded Master Series. The Latest BluOS firmware will power select high performance NAD models with MQA for studio quality music streams in the home. On the announcement, the company says: “NAD is proud to partner with MQA to introduce high-end audio consumers to this revolutionary end-to-end technology that captures and delivers master quality audio in a file that’s small enough to stream or download.”

For NAD Electronics, the 2016 High End show, in Munich, Germany was all about the excitement of high-performance and high resolution audio. Complementing the five existing Master Series components, NAD announced two new additions, the M32 Direct Digital Amplifier and M50.2 Digital Music Player, both running the brand’s dedicated BluOS operating system with support for popular music services and High Resolution Audio.
