Polk Debuts First Alexa Powered Soundbar
Polk Debuts First Alexa-Powered Soundbar.
Alexa is already in your speakers, TVs and smart home devices, and now, Amazon's ubiquitous smart home assistant has made her way to soundbars.
Polk's Audio Command Bar, launching this spring for $299, is the first soundbar with Alexa built inside. The speaker sports a dedicated HDMI port designed specifically to connect to streaming boxes such as Amazon's Fire TV, giving you an easy way to navigate shows and movies using just your voice. And just like any other Alexa device, the Audio Command Bar can be configured to control Alexa-compatible smart home devices such as lights and locks.
On top of featuring Alexa, the Command Bar is designed to provide top-notch sound with as many compatible devices as possible. The soundbar is Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enabled, sports two HDMI 2.0b inputs designed to preserve the quality of 4K content, and is built for simple tabletop and wall-mounting.
