Polk Audio Introduces MagniFi Max AX and MagniFi Max AX SR Soundbars

Polk Audio’s flagship MagniFi Max AX and MagniFi Max AX SR soundbars expand the cinema, TV, gaming and music experience.

The soundbars are promised immersive surround sound and deep bass. Both models bring movies, TV shows, music and games to life with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X multi-dimensional sound, thanks to 11 speaker arrays with dedicated center channels, overhead speakers and patented Stereo Dimensional technology.

Both models feature wireless subwoofers for enhanced bass reproduction, while the MagniFi Max AX SR package adds two wireless surround back satellites. Music streaming, customizable sound modes and eARC TV connectivity complete these versatile systems.

“With the MagniFi Max AX and MagniFi Max AX SR, Polk has used 50 years of speaker design experience to create Polk’s finest soundbar to date,” said Frank Sterns, president of Polk Audio.

With Polk’s patented 4th generation Stereo Dimensional Array (SDA) and Voice Adjust technologies, the MagniFi Max AX and MagniFi Max AX SR soundbars promise accurate spatial sound. SDA technology eliminates crosstalk for an ultra-wide soundstage.

MagniFi Max AX and MagniFi Max AX SR feature a 10″ down-firing subwoofer.

Expand the MagniFi Max AX surround sound experience with Polk SR2 wireless surround back speakers, available separately, or with the wireless surround speakers included with the MagniFi Max AX SR system.

New items support the sound modes “Cinema”, “TV” and “Music”, and the night mode increases the volume of speech and lowers the bass. VoiceAdjust technology raises the volume of voices over other elements of the soundtrack for increased intelligibility, while BassAdjust balances the bass response of the soundbar and subwoofer for seamless bass.

The MagniFi Max AX Wireless Music Streaming Hub and MagniFi Max AX SR support Wi-Fi streaming via Apple AirPlay 2, Google Chromecast, Spotify Connect, or any Alexa-enabled music service as well as Bluetooth.

Connect to your TV via HDMI eARC or ARC using the included HDMI cable, while the optical input allows you to connect to other digital devices.

MagniFi Max AX includes a remote control and works with most TV remotes out of the box. Its intuitive front panel OLED display shows settings and automatically dims when not in use. MagniFi Max AX is Roku TV ready for even easier setup and control.

Soundbars can be placed on a TV console or mounted on a wall.
