Wireless Powered Subwoofer
Bluesound Pulse Sub: The Pulse Sub is designed to be used with an
existing Bluesound system. You can wirelessly connect directly to a Pulse
Soundbar (813PLSBR;
sold separately), or to other Bluesound products using Bluesound's wireless sub adapter
(813RT100; sold separately). The Pulse Sub accentuates the already immersive
experience created by the Pulse Soundbar and other Bluesound components.
Wireless or Wired Connection: The Pulse Sub wirelessly pairs over WiFi
with the Pulse Soundbar or Bluesound's wireless sub adapter using the
free
Bluesound Controller App for Apple iOS, Android, Windows, and Mac. The Pulse
Sub is also equipped with a LFE and stereo RCA input for a hardwired connection
to the Bluesound Soundbar or practically any soundbar or AV receiver with an
LFE/sub output. It can even be hardwired to the headphone output of a Bluesound
speaker using a minijack-to-RCA adapter. In addition, there is a LFE and stereo RCA output for daisy-chaining two Bluesound Pulses together for even bigger bass performance.
6.5" Woofer with 100 Watt Amplifier: The Bluesound Pulse Sub features
a 6.5" polypropylene cone woofer with an elliptical rubber surround. The woofer
is driven by a built-in 100 watt (RMS) / 200 watt (Peak) Class D amplifier. The
Pulse Sub can produce low frequencies between 26Hz to 150Hz (+/-3dB).
Sub Controls: The Bluesound Pulse Sub provides Volume (0-10) Crossover
(50-150Hz), and Phase controls (0-180°).
These controls can be operated from the
free
Bluesound Controller App on your Apple iOS/Android device or Windows/Mac
computer. These same controls can also be found on the Pulse Sub's enclosure,
hidden behind a rubber cover.
Room Friendly Design: While many powered subwoofers can be quite large
and not fit very well in the typical living room, the Pulse Sub offer a room
friendly design with several clever installation options. The Pulse Sub is both
slim and compact with a low-profile rectangular shape. It is designed to fit
beside, underneath, or behind living room furniture. The Pulse Sub can easily be
tucked away and still produce incredible bass without distortion.
Mounting Options: The Bluesound Pulse Sub can simply be placed on the
floor or mounted to a wall using the including wall-mount brackets (screws not
included). The pre-installed mounting feet will need to be removed when using
the included wall-mount bracket to mount the Pulse Sub to a wall.
Power Requirements: The Bluesound Pulse Sub includes a detachable
6' AC
power cord which will need to be plugged into an AC wall outlet or surge
protector (sold separately).
Auto On/Standby: The Pulse Sub can be set to automatically turn on and
off when it senses an audio signal. You can also choose to manually turn the
powered sub on and off.

source and the way the artist intended you to hear it when it was approved in
the studio.

require a firmware update.
