Each PULSE series Network Music Player has two modes:
In Standalone mode, you can use the Innuos Sense app to play streaming services, Internet Radio and music stored on a NAS, to a multitude of audio systems. In this mode, the PULSEmini becomes the center of your audio system, enabling you also to use the Sense app with other streaming devices on your network.
In Endpoint Mode, PULSEmini connects to a main music server, be it an Innuos Music Server, HQ Player or any Logitech Media Server based server. The PULSEmini will then show as a zone on the respective music server app and you can use your preferred app to browse and play music through the PULSEmini.
Convenient Design: With its compact footprint, low-power efficiency, quiet operation and range of connectivity, the PULSEmini is a convenient and discreet music streamer for all your music from an Innuos music server, HiFi streaming services and internet radio.
Hi-Fi Engineering: The PULSEmini offers more than just casual usage – the innuOS Operating System, paired with a custom motherboard and premium components offer far greater musical performance than using a computer for streaming.
