Polk Audio has announced the arrival of the React sound bar with Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 virtual surround, plus Alexa Built-in capability. The new $249 sound bar can be used as a standalone unit or paired with Polkâs SR2 wireless rear surround speakers ($199) and/or React Sub wireless subwoofer ($199) for 5.1 surround, and all are available now for purchase.
âPolk Audio was the first audio company to partner with Amazon and create an Alexa-controlled sound bar in 2018. While the fruit of that initial effortâthe Polk Command Barâwas a big success, we learned a lot about how to enhance a sound bar for an even better voice-controlled home theater experience,â said Michael McCole, senior marketing manager for sound bars at Polk Audio.
