Polk Audio MagniFi MAX AX SR 7.1.2ch
The Polk Audio MagniFi Max AX SR is a premium 7.1.2 Dolby Atmos soundbar that offers a versatile performance with support for many audio formats commonly found on streaming platforms and Blu-rays. It’s designed to bring an immersive, all-around sound right to the comfort of your living room. It comes with a hefty subwoofer and two satellite speakers, which are designed to bring an extended low-bass and support for Dolby Atmos.
Looking at Design and Build, The MAX AX SR follows the clear design heritage of other Polk products. It features a dark-colored body paired with high-quality textured fabric, resulting in a versatile overall look.
The MAX AX SR Soundbar main unit consists of a total of 11 drivers. The left and right channels have 1 × 3-inch track-type mid-range drivers and 0.75-inch soft dome tweeters, while the center channel features a 1 × 2.5-inch mid-range driver and a 0.75-inch soft dome tweeter. The main unit’s upward-firing drivers are 2.5-inch full-range drivers, and the new generation SR2 surround speakers are equipped with 3-inch full-range drivers. The wireless subwoofer features a downward-firing 10-inch driver.
Performance The Polk Audio MagniFi Max AX SR is great for mixed usage. Its surround speakers are designed to bring a more all-around feel to multichannel content like Dolby Digital. It gets loud, too. However, it doesn’t offer as many sound enhancement features as more premium bars on the market. Its default sound is also a bit uneven, which impacts the quality of voices in the mix. The subwoofer is easily capable of making itself heard, flooding a decent-sized room with bass. It isn’t the most well-controlled bass, though – there’s nothing tight or contained about it.
The Polk MagniFi Max AX SR 7.1.2 soundbar system also has a variety of connectivity options that can connect to different devices. It has 3 HDMI input ports and 1 HDMI output with ARC and CEC support. The HDMI input can accept 4K HDR and Dolby Vision signals from compatible sources, while the HDMI output can pass through the same signals to your TV. The HDMI output also supports ARC, which stands for Audio Return Channel.
It also has one optical input, and one USB input. The soundbar system also has a built-in Bluetooth receiver that can stream audio wirelessly from devices that have Bluetooth, such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops.
The soundbar system also features Polk’s patented SDA technology, which stands for Stereo Dimensional Array. This technology is designed to eliminate crosstalk and create a wider soundstage. Crosstalk is the phenomenon where sound from one channel leaks into the other channel, reducing the separation and clarity of the sound. SDA technology uses a special filter and driver alignment to cancel out the crosstalk and create a more spacious and realistic soundstage. With SDA technology, you can enjoy a more immersive and natural sound experience.
