Bluesound Pulse Sub Plus Wireless Powered Subwoofer at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada

The Pulse Sub Plus is a wireless powered subwoofer from Bluesound (Pickering, Ontario, Canada), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada. Designed specifically for integration with Bluesound wireless speakers, streaming amplifiers, and streamers within the BluOS ecosystem, the Pulse Sub Plus combines an 8-inch long-throw polypropylene cone woofer with a 150W Smart DSP Class D amplifier that delivers deep, controlled bass extension down to 22Hz without distortion. Fully wireless over dual-band Wi-Fi, it pairs with any Bluesound player — including the Powernode Edge, Powernode, Node Icon, and Pulse speakers — in minutes through the BluOS Controller app, which provides dedicated controls for volume, variable crossover frequency (50Hz to 150Hz), and phase adjustment. Magnetic rubber feet, a multi-orientation design, and an included wall-mount bracket allow placement virtually anywhere in a room — upright, on its side, or wall-mounted — without running subwoofer cables.

150W Smart DSP Amplifier and 22Hz Bass Extension

The Pulse Sub Plus's 150W continuous Smart DSP amplifier — with 200W dynamic peak capability — drives an 8-inch polypropylene cone woofer with a rubber surround designed for long-throw excursion and controlled low-frequency output. The DSP amplifier actively manages the woofer's movement to prevent distortion at high output levels, maintaining tight, dynamic bass even at the low-frequency extremes of the Pulse Sub Plus's 22Hz to 150Hz operating range. The -10dB low-frequency cutoff extends to 20Hz, covering the full range of sub-bass content in music, films, and games. A variable crossover from 50Hz to 150Hz allows precise integration with the frequency response of the partnering Bluesound speakers or the connected amplifier's loudspeakers — crossover frequency, volume level, and phase alignment are all adjustable within the BluOS Controller app without touching the subwoofer itself. For rooms requiring greater low-frequency output or improved bass distribution, a second Pulse Sub Plus can be added to the system and managed simultaneously through the same app interface.

Wireless BluOS Integration and Placement Flexibility

The Pulse Sub Plus connects to any Bluesound player over dual-band Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) or wired Gigabit Ethernet, appearing as a controllable component within the BluOS Controller app alongside the other players in the home. Setup requires no subwoofer output cable from the partnering amplifier — the Pulse Sub Plus receives its audio signal wirelessly from the BluOS network, with the crossover management handled in the digital domain before the signal reaches the DSP amplifier. This wireless architecture removes the placement constraints imposed by a subwoofer output cable, allowing the Pulse Sub Plus to be positioned at the acoustic optimum in the room — typically a front corner or along a wall — regardless of where the amplifier or streaming component is located. The Powernode Edge includes a dedicated wireless sub output in its specifications specifically for pairing with the Pulse Sub Plus as a compact 2.1 stereo system. Two magnetic rubber feet and an included wall-mount bracket support upright, horizontal, and wall-mounted orientations, and the Pulse Sub Plus's compact 457 x 300 x 146mm footprint allows it to fit beside, behind, or beneath furniture without dominating the room.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Bluesound Pulse Sub Plus?

The Bluesound Pulse Sub Plus is a wireless powered subwoofer from Bluesound (Pickering, Ontario, Canada), built around an 8-inch long-throw polypropylene cone woofer and a 150W Smart DSP Class D amplifier. It extends bass response to 22Hz, connects wirelessly over dual-band Wi-Fi to any Bluesound player within the BluOS ecosystem, and is controlled entirely through the BluOS Controller app for volume, variable crossover (50Hz to 150Hz), and phase adjustment. It is compatible with the Powernode Edge, Powernode, Node Icon, and all Bluesound Pulse speakers.

Does the Pulse Sub Plus require a subwoofer cable from the amplifier?

No. The Pulse Sub Plus receives its audio signal wirelessly from the BluOS network, connecting to any Bluesound player over dual-band Wi-Fi without a physical subwoofer output cable. This wireless architecture allows placement at the acoustic optimum in the room — typically a front corner — regardless of where the amplifier or streaming component is located. A mono analogue line-level input is also available on the rear for connection via cable to non-BluOS amplifiers when wireless integration is not required.

How does the Pulse Sub Plus integrate with the Bluesound Powernode Edge?

The Powernode Edge includes dedicated wireless subwoofer output support specifically for the Pulse Sub Plus, creating a compact 2.1 stereo system without subwoofer cabling. Both components connect to the same BluOS network, with the crossover frequency managed within the BluOS app. The Pulse Sub Plus handles all frequencies below the crossover point while the Powernode Edge's DirectDigital amplifier drives the connected passive loudspeakers above it — the crossover point is adjustable between 50Hz and 150Hz within the app.

Can I use two Pulse Sub Plus units together?

Yes. A second Pulse Sub Plus can be added to the same BluOS system and appears as a separate controllable device within the BluOS Controller app. Two subwoofers provide greater bass output at lower distortion levels, and can be positioned at different locations in the room to reduce bass mode peaks — a technique known as dual-sub placement — for smoother, more even low-frequency response throughout the listening space.

How does the Bluesound Pulse Sub Plus compare to the SVS SB-1000 Pro?

The Bluesound Pulse Sub Plus and SVS SB-1000 Pro are both compact powered subwoofers targeting music and home theatre use. The Pulse Sub Plus is fully wireless over BluOS Wi-Fi with in-app crossover and volume control, making it uniquely suited to Bluesound multiroom systems — no subwoofer cable is required. The SVS SB-1000 Pro uses a sealed enclosure for tighter, more accurate bass and includes SVS's smartphone app for DSP control, but requires a physical subwoofer output cable from the amplifier and does not integrate into a wireless multiroom audio system. The Pulse Sub Plus is the right choice for BluOS system users who prioritise wireless integration and placement flexibility; the SB-1000 Pro suits listeners who prioritise sealed-box bass accuracy as a standalone wired subwoofer.

What Bluesound components is the Pulse Sub Plus compatible with?

The Pulse Sub Plus is compatible with all Bluesound players and components running BluOS, including the Powernode Edge, Powernode, Node Icon, Node, Pulse speakers, and any NAD Electronics component running the BluOS platform. It pairs wirelessly via the BluOS app and is controlled alongside all other BluOS players in the home from the same interface.
