Review on πŸ”Š Polk Audio MagniFi MAX SR Black Soundbar by Michal Kucharski ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

There are pluses and minuses, think before you buy.

It is connected to a Sony KD-65XE9305 TV via HDMI -ACR, an NTV + satellite receiver is connected to the soundbar via HDMI, and Sony WH-L headphones (cinema mode) are connected to the TV via optics. There are no questions about the headphones, they work fine, but the soundbar has questions about the rear speakers, it looks like a weak signal processing algorithm - we get a good sound only when a DD signal comes from the satellite receiver (the icon on the soundbar lights up accordingly - Dolby connect and when viewing the IVI connection from the TV, although the indication of the DD signal on the soundbar does not show (that's why in this case the sound is good, although not DD? ) In other modes (digital TV, analog TV, signal from a non-DD satellite receiver), depending on the TV channel in the rear speakers, there is either a chirp or a quiet gurgle, similar to a distorted voice (teletype) or movie sound, but with quiet distortion heard ( especially audible when there are voices on the screen). In general, this is not a big problem - if the signal is not DD, then there is a music button on the soundbar, when pressed once, silence in the rear speakers - that is. e stereo mode, pressing again - in the rear speakers there is a clear sound (something like quad mode), but I'm uncomfortable. The reviews on foreign sites have the same questions. Support on Polkaudio. Com is still the same - my question about this mode of operation of the soundbar and sound distortion was deleted several times, the question was sent by e-mail to the 2022 dealer, I wrote to the 2022 email - silence in response.

Pros
  • Good sound in DD mode. Wireless subwoofer and rear speakers. ARC control
Cons
  • The rear speakers are phoning in all modes except DD. There is no automatic sound adjustment. Overpriced.
