Polk Audio Signa 4 Atmos Soundbar and Woofer Announced
Polk Audio has joined the Dolby Atmos soundbar fray with its seven driver Signa S4.
Polk's Signa 4 promises to create immersive virtual surround sound without making your living space resemble a hi-fi store or running cables to many speakers.
Polk states that the Signa S4 can also up-mix non-Dolby Atmos audio, rendering height, surround and centre channels to create a virtual Dolby Atmos experience.
The Signa S4's seven drivers include two upward-firing speakers that deliver Dolby Atmos height channels to create sounds overhead. Especially handy for placing sound effects such as bullets whizzing by or helicopter's chugging overhead.
The new Dolby Atmos soundbar comes partnered with a wireless subwoofer whose Bass Adjust feature lets you tweak the low-frequency output on both the soundbar and woofer. Fear not; there are also some presets, including settings for movies, music and late-night watching without disturbing the neighbours or your snoozing cohabitors.
The Signa 4's HDMI port is equipped for eARC, for native Dolby Atmos streams from a TV, and you can beam content to it wirelessly from your mobile over Bluetooth. Furthermore, you can wall-mount it too.
The Polk Audio Signa S4 is available now for £329.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
