Movie mode is designed to “optimize non-musical content,” meaning movies and TV shows, while Music mode is (natch) for “streaming music.” 3D mode is the one that turns on Polk’s SDA technology for virtual height effects, and it’s the one I used for most of my listening tests for movies. The MagniFi Mini AX comes with Movie, 3D, Music, and Night modes, while the aforementioned Voice Adjust buttons let you boost the sound of dialogue. I do have some nitpicks when it comes to Dolby Atmos height cues and music performance, but they’re small ones. Indeed, the MagniFi Mini AX sounds better than plenty of full-size soundbars I’ve tested. We’re talking clean, detailed sound, with tight bass, plenty of mid-range, and an impressively wide soundstage courtesy of Polk’s SDA technology. Performanceįor such a small soundbar, the Polk Audio MagniFi Mini AX packs a big punch.

The Mini AX’s profile certainly took a chunk out of the bottom of my LG C9’s display, although at least it was only a narrow one.īesides AirPlay 2 and Chromecast, the MagniFi Mini AX supports Spotify Connect, and there’s also Bluetooth 5.0 for playing tunes on a mobile device. While the soundbar is surprisingly compact, it’s also a bit on the tall side, which means there’s a decent chance it will block a portion of the bottom of your screen. Measuring 14.4 x 4.1 x 3.1 inches (WxDxH), the fabric-wrapped MagniFi Mini AX has a curved front but a flatter rear, giving it a thin “D” shape when viewed from above. I’ll describe how well Polk’s SDA tech actually works in a bit. Instead, the soundbar uses virtualization to achieve its height effects, in this case Polk’s proprietary SDA 3D audio technology, to trick your ears into thinking they’re hearing sound from above.
