About the Bluesound Pulse Sub

Ralph Graves

Get deeper into movies and music

Sure, your Bluesound Pulse Soundbar gives you spacious, detailed sound from your TV. But add a Bluesound Pulse Sub, and you'll also get deep bass that draws you further into your movies and music. Setup is simple. As soon as you plug the Pulse Sub into an AC outlet and turn it on, the Pulse Soundbar detects it and creates a wireless connection. The Soundbar immediately starts routing the lowest bass notes to the Sub.

The Soundbar immediately starts routing the lowest bass notes to the Sub.

Place it just about anywhere

As long as there's an AC outlet nearby, you can place the Pulse Sub just about anywhere in the room. The Sub's rectangular cabinet is only 4-7/8” deep, which means it can hug the wall and fit easily behind a sofa. Or lay it flat to slide under an end table or cabinet.

Create a high-resolution multi-room music system

Combine multiple Bluesound players to enjoy high-end sound throughout your home.

  • Pulse Flex: This ultra-compact speaker can fit just about any place.
  • Pulse Mini: This compact, all-in-one speaker system is ideal for a bookshelf, desk, or nightstand.
  • Powernode 2: This amplified player connects to a pair of speakers. It may be small, but it's powerful enough to drive a pair of floor-standing speakers.
  • Node 2: Connects to your home audio system and makes it part of the Bluesound network.
  • Pulse 2: This all-in-one player is perfect for almost any room. It has built-in PSB speakers for great sound in a compact package.
  • Vault 2: If you've amassed a large collection of CDs, then the Vault was designed for you. It's a storage drive designed with the audio enthusiast in mind. This drive defaults to bit-perfect recording of your CDs, letting you experience every detail without switching discs every time you want to hear a new track or album.

Control in the palm of your hand

The Bluesound system is easily controlled from your smartphone or tablet. Just download the free BluOS app from the Apple® App Store or Google Play. The app lets you select songs and adjust volume. Play the same music in all your listening rooms simultaneously, or choose different songs for each one.

Wireless Powered Subwoofer
Wireless Multiroom Audio

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.

Wired or Wireless Network Connection: Bluesound components can be connected to your home network and Internet provider via a hardwired Gigabit Ethernet (RJ-45) jack connector or wireless WiFi (802.11 b/g/n) connection. Either network/internet connection allows you to stream music from your Windows or Mac computer and NAS drive (such as the Bluesound Vault, sold separately); as well as stream select online music services.

Note: Bluesound operates only on 2.4GHz WiFi (not 5GHz).

Bluesound Controller App: The free Bluesound Controller App turns your Apple iOS (7.0+) iPod/iPhone/iPad, Android (OS 4.0+) smartphone/tablet, Windows (Vista or higher) PC or Mac (O X 10.7+) computer into a full-featured remote control for the Bluesound wireless music system.

Bluesound also offers gapless playback by default for all supported file music types.

MQA (Master Quality Authenticated): Bluesound is the first wireless multiroom audio system to support MQA (Master Quality Authenticated). MQA is a revolutionary end-to-end technology that captures and delivers master quality audio in a file that's small enough to stream or download. Bluesound worked closely with MQA to implement technology inside each Bluesound component to ensure the listener will hear MQA encoded music and streams exactly like the source and the way the artist intended you to hear it when it was approved in the studio.

Note: MQA (Master Quality  Authenticated) support will require a firmware update.
