The Benefits of Opting for PoE in Streaming Speakers

Key Advantages of PoE Technology

PoE (Power over ethernet) enabled speakers are powered by one cable that carries both network and power connection over a single RJ45 ethernet cable, allowing for ease and flexibility of speaker placement.


PoE (Power over ethernet) is one of the most convenient innovations in network technology used in several Bluesound Professional products. A PoE-enabled device can receive signal and electrical power through one single RJ45 ethernet cable connection, where typically two connections are needed for networked devices; a network connection and a power connection.

The key benefits of PoE used in Bluesound Professional products are:
  • Flexibility – place multiple PoE (Power over ethernet) network active loudspeakers anywhere in a commercial installation installation, without the need for tethering them to a power outlet.
  • Network Stability – be equipped with a stable network connection to support the playback of high-quality, undistorted audio and music streaming with a PoE connection. Connecting via ethernet eliminates unwanted dropouts and ensures streaming stability.
  • Cost-Efficiency – without the need for installing an AC mains receptacle, save big on extraneous costs especially for multi-channel surround systems.
  • Simplicity – a music streamer is integrated into each PoE speaker, allowing for grouping/zone flexibility. An easy setup and connection process takes away complicated cable runs.

Discover Bluesound's Line of PoE Speakers

Bluesound's signature PoE speakers require only a PoE switch or injector to support hi-resolution playback of music through ethernet. An integrated music player in all the speakers allows playing and distributing content from their business music partners including SoundMachine, Custom Channels, QSIC, SiriusXM Music for Business and Tunify or from local network storage. Reduce installation time and costs with the simplicity of PoE and create up to 64 zones within a BluOS ecosystem.
