- You want your home theater sound to be immersive, enveloping, and just enough to rumble the room. However, what about when it comes to the dialogue? Polk Audio has a soundbar package that focuses on just that.
Of course, the MagniFi One soundbar does promise room-filling sound with built-in bass drive technology, as well as a 7-inch wireless subwoofer. That said, it’s the dialogue-enhancing technologies that make this speaker package a true standout.
That perk comes in the form of VoiceAdjust, Polk Audio’s patent-pending technology that can increase the vocals independent of program material and volume level. That allows you to experience clean, crisp dialogue, no matter where you’re sitting in the room.
Another interesting feature is the new Night mode, which can drop the low-frequency response of the soundbar and sub’s driver array. That way, the sound won’t disrupt other areas of the house.
The MagniFi One soundbar has two 3-by-1-inch full-range drivers, built-in critically tuned bass ports, and Dolby Digital decoding. It even has Bluetooth so you can wirelessly stream music from your smartphone, tablet, or computer. Other features include a Sports mode, an optical input, one analog input, and separate controls for Voice, Bass, and Master Volume. It also has keyhole slots for wall mounting and rubber feet to reduce vibration and scuffs when sitting on a shelf or AV cabinet.
“When enjoying entertainment like sports, action movies, or popular TV shows, listeners want to be immersed in the excitement while still being able to experience clear dialogue,” said Michael Greco, global brand director of Polk Audio. “Our design team focused on creating a streamlined yet adaptive user experience with efficient set up, a choice of different modes based on the listener’s preference, and the ability to intelligibly adjust audio based on what people are watching. Consequently, the MagniFi One’s greatest virtue is its audio enhancing features for our users’ ever-changing and varied listening preferences—a goal central to Polk Audio’s design philosophy.”
Polk Audio’s MagniFi One soundbar is selling now, with an MSRP of $299.99.
