Polk's cute MagniFi Mini sound bar breaks cover
The Polk Magnifi Mini is a compact sound bar that is packed with features, including Google Cast, Bluetooth and HDMI.
The competition for compact, affordable sound bars is heating up with JBL, Zvox and now Polk getting in on the act.
The Polk MagniFi Mini ($299) is an "ultra-narrow soundbar and included slim wireless subwoofer" that is designed for smaller living spaces like bedrooms.
Despite the relatively low price it appears to be packed with features, including Bluetooth, networking (with Google Cast) and HDMI with Dolby Digital decoding. It also incorporates Polk's patented sound modes for use at low volumes or to increase speech intelligibility.
Like the JBL Boost TV the Mini is compact at only 13.4 inches long and 3.1 inches high, though the JBL lacks a subwoofer. The MagniFi Mini includes four 2.25-inch drivers and two 12mm tweeters for the main unit.
The sound bar will be available in October, while UK and Australian pricing and availability are yet to be announced.
