There is also Spotify Connect onboard, so you can use the Spotify app on your device to command music that will flow from the internet straight to the Polk, a more efficient and reliable streaming path. We went the AirPlay route, and thereafter the Polk (listed as MagniFi Mini AX-4004) appeared as an output device for playback from our iPhone, iPad or MacBook.

Those with Apple devices will find the Polk waiting in the Wi-Fi menus ready to be set up as an AirPlay speaker, while those with Android devices (or Apple, if you like) can use Google Home to bring the Polk into their network of smart products. There are two ways to connect the main unit to your home Wi-Fi network.
We gave the lozenge and the subwoofer power, plugged in that HDMI cable – our smart TV recognised that an Atmos-capable ‘receiver’ was attached, and its sound was routed almost immediately through both the lozenge and its wirelessly-connected subwoofer. If you give the Polk lozenge a compatible HDMI eARC connection, then set-up could hardly be more simple.

All this through just three front channels, five drivers in all, plus the subwoofer. Yet the bar is certified for both Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, object-based surround formats, and it also offers a ‘3D Audio Mode’, claiming this “transforms stereo audio to 360-degree surround sound”. Nor is there anything spreading the sound particularly wide, though the outermost of the L-R drivers may lean in that direction. The fabric and metal grille wrapping around the body of the lozenge are rather too thick to reveal exactly how these drivers are seated or angled there are certainly no upward-firing drivers, as the top of the unit has a hard plastic oval with six press buttons for local control. The left and right channels each get a 19mm and a 51mm midrange driver, but the centre channel has only the one midrange driver.

In addition to the single oval 127 × 178mm (7 × 5 inch) driver in the subwoofer, the lozenge has a slightly unusual set of LCR drivers.
This enables AirPlay 2 and Chromecast streaming, while there’s also Bluetooth, although no indication of any high-quality Bluetooth codecs, so use the Wi-Fi streaming if you’re able. Most people will use just one, but you could in theory have the TV on the HDMI and some analogue source plugged into the minijack.īesides, there are more ways to play, thanks to the Polk’s Wi-Fi connection. The lozenge unit offers three physical audio inputs: HDMI with eARC to connect with a similarly-equipped HDMI input on your TV, an optical digital input as a fallback connection for TVs with neither eARC nor ARC, and as a last resort a 3.5mm analogue minijack input.
