Single, two or multiroom££££
And if the Bluesound Pulse Flex 2025 speaker can be used solo, as with all multiroom systems, several of them can be indifferently associated, either within a home with one speaker per room, or in the same zone to create a stereo system, simply assign one of the speakers for the left channel and the other for the right. It can also, of course, be associated with a Pulse Sub+ wireless subwoofer, Pulse, Pulse Mini and/or Pulse M speakers, or with one of the new Pulse Cinema or Pulse Cinema Mini. With this type of configuration, the system offers the possibility of listening to a different piece of music in each room or broadcasting the same one on all the speakers, or even enjoying a Home Cinema session.
