DALI Sound Hub

A WIDE RANGE OF INPUTS
Supporting digital and analogue sources

The DALI SOUND HUB features an extensive range of inputs for all your digital and analogue audio sources. When you start playing music or turn on your TV, it switches to the correct source automatically. And with two modular expansion ports, you can also add high-resolution streaming and 7.1 channel surround sound via HDMI.

BLUETOOTH CONNECTIVITY
Supporting high performance AAC & aptx

Bluetooth connectivity is built right into the SOUND HUB. Connect any Bluetooth-enabled audio source and play music stored locally or via your favourite streaming service in seconds. The SOUND HUB also supports AAC, aptX and aptX HD audio from compatible devices for impressive high-resolution audio playback in up to 24 bit/48 kHz resolution.

ANALOGUE SOURCES
Reproducing better-than-CD quality

The SOUND HUB’s analogue input is where audiophile tradition meets the future of wireless active Hi-Fi. Using advanced analogue to digital conversion, the SOUND HUB converts audio from sources like CD players, turntables and RIAA phono preamplifiers into a high resolution, better-than-CD quality, 24 bit/96 kHz stream for the best possible audio reproduction.

SUBWOOFER OUTPUT
Delivering powerful low-end detail

The SOUND HUB includes a volume-controlled, line-level analogue subwoofer output that switches on automatically when a subwoofer is detected. For seamless integration with the rest of the system, the output is low-pass filtered to match the frequency characteristics of the main speakers. Using the optional DALI WSR (Wireless Subwoofer Receiver), the SOUND HUB can connect wirelessly to any active subwoofer for a full-range 2.1 setup or as a true LFE channel in a multichannel system.

EXPANSION PORTS
Plug-in modules for extra functionality

One of the most innovative features of the DALI SOUND HUB is hidden away from view. The two modular expansion ports at the back open up the SOUND HUB to a world of possibilities, including streaming, multi-room and multi-channel audio.

7.1 CHANNEL SURROUND
Create an amazing multichannel setup

When connected to a TV via HDMI ARC or eARC, the HDMI plug-in module enables the SOUND HUB to deliver up to 7.1 channels of high quality Dolby and DTS surround sound.

BLUOS MULTI-ROOM
Devised by audiophiles for audiophiles

The NPM-2i plug-in module adds Bluesound’s incredible BluOS hi-res multi-room platform to the SOUND HUB. Devised by audiophiles for audiophiles, the NPM-2i module streams high-resolution audio to your DALI EQUI speakers and integrates with other BluOS-enabled devices to create an amazing multi-room setup around your home.

MQA CERTIFIED
Award-winning streaming technology

When fitted with the NPM-2i plug-in module, the SOUND HUB uses MQA’s award-winning compression and streaming technology to transfer high-resolution audio to our MQA-certified CALLISTO C, RUBICON C, and OBERON C series speakers.
