Design & Build

The Pulse 2i's elegant matte finish—available in both Black and White—complements any décor. Measuring 420 × 198 × 192 mm and weighing just over 5 kg, its compact footprint belies the robust construction and acoustic design within. High-grade polymer enclosures and a refined driver array ensure minimal resonance and vibration, delivering clean, uncoloured sound.

Audio Performance

At the heart of the Pulse 2i lies a trio of precision-engineered drivers: a 25 mm silk-composite dome tweeter and dual 133 mm woofers. Paired with DirectDigital™ amplification, impulse response is optimised for transient accuracy, resulting in agile bass articulation and crystalline highs. The bass response is both tight and authoritative, thanks to bass extension technologies that double the output in low frequencies without sacrificing control.

Whether you’re enjoying complex orchestral passages or bass-heavy electronica, the Pulse 2i maintains a neutral sound signature with a spacious soundstage and exceptional imaging.

Connectivity & Control

The Pulse 2i’s integrated dual-band Wi-Fi (802.11ac) guarantees zero dropouts even in congested network environments. BluOS, the intuitive control platform, provides seamless management of all your streaming services—including Spotify, TIDAL, Qobuz and more—plus internet radio via TuneIn or Calm Radio.

For those invested in the Apple ecosystem, AirPlay 2 ensures effortless integration, while aptX™ HD over Bluetooth delivers studio-quality wireless transmission. Native support for Amazon Alexa voice control adds hands-free convenience.
