Polk MagniFi Soundbar – Rich Bass Audio

When looking for speakers for a home theater center, most people immediately think that bigger is better.  As with many things, however, looks can be misleading.  Take the Polk MagniFi Soundbar system, for example.  While this reasonably priced soundbar is compact in size, its sound capabilities will be a hit when it comes to watching your favorite TV show or your family’s movie nights.

The MagniFi soundbar has a very low profile (38x3x2 inches) as compared to other soundbars on the market.  It easily fits beneath a TV screen and therefore seldom blocks remote control signals.  This particular soundbar includes a center, right and left driver.  The controls (Power, Bass, Volume and Voice) are located on top of the case.  There is also a Bluetooth control button if you are looking for a wireless connection.  Unlike some soundbars that include an HDMI connection, the MagniFi Soundbar comes with one optical digital port and a 3.5m analog port.  The Polk MagniFi Soundbar system also includes a wireless 13x12x9 inch subwoofer and a 7 inch woofer that is not big enough to feel intrusive, yet it definitely enhances the overall sound quality.

The MagniFi Soundbar easily connects to a TV using an optical digital audio cable.  The soundbar and the subwoofer come paired together, therefore they are synced immediately when they are turned on.  If necessary, however, they can be manually synced by pressing the buttons on the back of each piece of equipment.

As everyone’s tastes are different, you can manually adjust the voice and bass to find the best combination for your home theater space.  Many folks choose to increase the center channel to balance the deep, rich bass.  You can also modify the sound by choosing one of the two sound modes – music or movie.  The movie mode seems to produce a more pronounced dialog through the center channel.

The Polk MagniFi Soundbar system features a great sound that will fill a room and it surpasses expectations when listening to movie/TV action scenes or any kind of dialogue.  When listening to music, the subwoofer provides a deep, rich sound, however the treble sometimes falls short of expectations. When listening to your favorite songs, you will find that the music setting sounds better than the movie setting.

The bottom line is this: the Polk MagniFi Soundbar easily fills a room with tons of bass sound and clear, easy to understand dialogue, even though with its unobtrusive size, it doesn’t seem large enough to do so.  As it pairs up with the subwoofer, it ensures complete immersion for those watching a great movie or TV show.  While this soundbar system offers few extra frills, it will certainly guarantee a pleasurable sound experience with your family’s home theater system.
