Polk just released a voice-optimizing wireless sound bar with wireless subwoofer, called MagniFi. The $500 speaker system promises easy setup, while its patent pending Polk VoiceAdjust Technology optimizes dialogue regardless of where you are sitting in the room. Alternatively, sound direction can be tweaked so only you will hear center channel dialog after hours, without disturbing others.
VoiceAdjust Technology uses an adjustable three element line array with the center driver receiving the greater share of the bandwidth in order to provide clean clear, crisp dialogue, whether you’re sitting directly in front of the TV or off to the side. Music and Movie Immersion Modes tailor the MagniFi Sound Bar for a more immersive listening experience.
MagniFi is a minimalist design solution for anyone looking for a home theater system that can bring big, enveloping sound to all their TV and movie viewing. In addition, integrated Bluetooth with aptX deliver CD-quality sound from your smartphone, tablet or other compatible device. Polk’s exclusive Full Complement Bass Drive Technology in the bar improves lower midrange, upper bass tonal richness, fast transient response and overall output capability.
