About the HUB
The Bluesound HUB (model/version CB130) is a compact BluOS network audio adapter that brings connected analog and digital sources into a Bluesound or BluOS multi-room system. It provides five source-input options: HDMI eARC with CEC for a television, 75-ohm coaxial digital, TOSLINK optical digital, stereo RCA line-level, and stereo RCA moving-magnet phono. Audio from the HUB is sent over the network to compatible BluOS players, with one analog and one digital source able to stream simultaneously. It supports wired Gigabit Ethernet or dual-band Wi-Fi 5 and is configured and controlled through the BluOS Controller for iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS. The HUB has no local audio output, headphone output, Bluetooth, or USB audio playback; its USB Type-A port is intended for BluOS firmware upgrades/service only.
