Polk Audio has introduced three new products – React Soundbar, React Wireless Subwoofer, and SR2 Wireless Speakers.
Polk Audio React Soundbar
A key feature of the new Polk Audio Soundbar is support for the virtual voice assistant Alexa. The presence of four microphones with a long-range allows you to pick up voice commands, even when the speaker is playing the soundtrack of an action movie.
The new Polk Sound bar can be used in multi-room configurations, meaning it can be linked to other compatible speakers to listen to the same song on everyone. React features include voice calling and Alexa intercom functionality. Also, the soundbar can be used to control other smart home devices.
In terms of audio, React supports Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 virtual surround sound. Can be combined in multichannel configurations with other Polk acoustic components – such as the SR2 wireless surround speakers and React Sub subwoofer to create a complete surround sound system. The soundbar has Bluetooth, USB, HDMI, and an optical port. It also offers presets for certain modes such as movies and music.
Price and availability
Polk Audio React Soundbar has been priced at $249 and it can be pre-ordered through the Bhphotovideo.com website.
Polk Audio React Wireless Subwoofer
You can add a React Wireless Subwoofer along with the React Soundbar for even deeper, more impactful bass. It has a unique low-turbulence, flared port tube that keeps bass performance tight for precise impact.
A long-throw, high-excursion woofer moves more air than a traditional sub for a farther reach and deeper bass. Polk Bass Adjust EQ automatically adjusts a React series sound bar’s settings to accommodate the React Sub’s additional bass.
Price and availability
Polk Audio React Wireless Subwoofer has been priced at $199 and it can be pre-ordered through the Bhphotovideo.com and Amazon.com websites.
Polk Audio SR2 Wireless Speakers
Now you don’t need a five-speaker setup to get real home cinema surround sound. These speakers connect wirelessly to your sound bar. No need to run speaker wires across your room.
You can also mount them on a wall or place them on a shelf. It is also compatible with Polk React, Magnifi 2, and future Magnifi and React series sound bars.
