The display on the Command Bar is composed of a single LED that changes colour to denote the type of content, source and mode selection. If necessary, you can also update the firmware using the app. Thanks to Polk's handy app, it should only take a couple of minutes to connect the soundbar to your local network and get Alexa up and running (just follow the instructions). The latter might also require some careful placement and judicious use of the bass adjustment control to get the overall soundstage balanced. The soundbar and sub should pair automatically (there are lights on the back of both units to indicate pairing), although if they aren't there's a manual sync button on the rear of the sub. The Polk Command Bar is a piece of cake to set-up, and all you really need to decide is whether to stand or wall mount the main unit, and where to position the subwoofer. Finally, the Command Bar includes Polk's proprietary Voice Adjust technology that allows for clearer dialogue in today's complex multichannel soundtracks. The Command Bar also supports Amazon's Multi-Room Music platform, which allows you to play and control music across multiple Amazon devices, and ask Alexa to stream your favourite songs. This allows you to control the soundbar and ask Alexa questions, just as you would with any other Alexa speaker. This is very different from devices that simply work with Alexa and, instead, the Command Bar actually has built-in far-field microphones and a full Alexa voice service. There's a Polk app for easier set up, and the company even throws in an HDMI cable and an optical lead for good measure.Īll this is before I've even mentioned the Command Bar's headline feature, the built-in Alexa smart assistant. Once you include built-in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, you start to realise that the Command Bar is an attractive proposition. Another unusual feature in such a relatively inexpensive soundbar is the inclusion of two HDMI inputs, as well as a full-sized remote control.
