What players are compatible with Home Theater Grouping?

BluOS supports Home Theater grouping with the following compatible players to provide a surround sound listening experience.

Note: Only a Home Theater Group can output Dolby content to the rear speakers. For more information, refer to our Help Center article.

You can use only PULSE SOUNDBAR models, POWERNODE (N330), POWERNODE 2i (with HDMI), and M10 V2 as a front – left and right – channel in the Home Theater grouping.

You can also use a combination of any generation PULSE FLEX speakers for the rear channels of the grouping. For example, you can configure a PULSE FLEX 2i as the rear right channel and a PULSE FLEX as the left rear channel.

Also, you can always pair PULSE SUB+ or PULSE SUB* with the front channel players to create a dramatic soundscape for the audio.

WiFi Direct Connect - PULSE SOUNDBAR+ has a dedicated secondary WiFi module to automatically connect with PULSE SUB+ (pairing) and compatible rear channels (creating a Home Theater Group) without using the local home network. WiFi Direct Connect provides complete low-latency wireless, surround sound experience even in a noisy network.

To enable the WiFi Direct Connect feature, perform the following steps:

1. Delete previously created Home Theater Group (if any).
2. Upgrade all players and BluOS Controller App to the latest firmware.
3. Recreate/Create Home Theater Group with PULSE SOUNDBAR+ to establish this WiFi Direct Connect feature.

For information on creating a Home Theater Group, refer to our Help Center article.

Notes

• Connect the external audio input to the player configured as the front channel.
• When using POWERNODE models as a rear channel setup, connect the LEFT SPEAKER (+/-) terminal to the room’s left side speaker and vice versa.
• *PULSE SUB cannot pair wirelessly with PULSE SOUNDBAR+ due to PULSE SUB’s hardware limitations.
