EISA COMPACT SOUNDBAR 2022-2023

The aim of a compact soundbar is to create a listening experience that’s far bigger than you’d expect, a trick Polk’s MagniFi Mini AX system pulls off with aplomb. From its easy-to-accommodate 30cm-wide main enclosure and discreet partnering subwoofer comes a detailed, full-range soundfield, with appreciable reach and effects positioning provided by Polk’s in-house Stereo Dimensional Array (SDA) processing. Day-to-day operation and connectivity are equally appealing, this soundbar’s inputs ranging from HDMI eARC to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and user adjustments including a mode for boosting dialogue clarity from the dedicated centre channel. When space is at a premium, the MagniFi Mini AX should be at the top of your wish-list.
