The Bluesound PULSE M (model P230) is a compact, actively amplified wireless multi-room streaming speaker built on the BluOS platform. Its Omni-Hybrid™ acoustic design combines an angled, up-firing 133 mm (5.25-inch) woofer with two 19 mm (0.75-inch) tweeters positioned 45 degrees apart and an acoustic reflector for broad, room-filling dispersion. Separate DSP-controlled amplification delivers 50 W to the woofer and 15 W to each tweeter, for 80 W total system power. The PULSE M supports network and USB audio playback, BluOS multi-room streaming, stereo pairing with another PULSE M, and wireless integration with the PULSE SUB+. Connectivity includes dual-band Wi-Fi 5, Gigabit Ethernet, Bluetooth with aptX HD, AirPlay 2, and a combined analog/optical input. It is also compatible with BluOS-supported streaming services and control integrations.
