The Omni SB1 Plus with Polk VoiceAdjust™ Technology is a home 
cinema 3.1 sound bar system that creates a broad, enveloping 
soundstage for movies, sports, music and games. The SB1’s 
VoiceAdjust Technology utilizes the optimized 3-speaker array with 
controllable voice channel level to reproduce clear, crisp dialogue. 
Plus, it features wireless rear surround technology letting you 
connect the sound bar to any pair of Play-Fi speakers and enjoy a 
true 5.1 home theater experience. We’ve also included a separate 
Bluetooth adapter so you can switch between Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 
in seconds—play audio from your phone, tablet or computer  
without using the Polk Omni app and restream the audio to any 
Play-Fi speaker on your network. What’s more, the included 8” 
wireless subwoofer gives the SB1 Plus system a rich bottom-end 
while eliminating the clutter of wires.

 
Music and Movie Immersion Modes enable you to tailor the  
bar’s sound field for a more immersive listening experience.  
Polk’s exclusive Full Complement Bass Technology lets the bar  
reproduce its lowest range easily, creating a warm, bass-rich  
timbre at lower distortion and higher volumes. With built-in  
Dolby Digital 5.1 and 2.0 decoding, you are always in the center  
of the action. 

Our SmartBar™ technology ensures the SB1 Plus works with  
any TV or cable box, and that it learns your TV’s original IR  
remote commands so you can control your sound bar with your 
TV remote. (Backup remote included.) More importantly, it  
ultra-low-profile design will not block your TV screen or its IR  
port. Setup is a simple: Connect the supplied optical cable and  
plug-in your bar and sub to a power outlet.  

Your Omni SB1 Plus wireless sound bar is part of the Polk Omni 
Collection, the First Great-Sounding Wireless Music System™. 
The Omni SB1 Plus can be used as a stand-alone wireless sound 
bar system or as part of a family. 

With the Omni Collection, you can effortlessly enjoy Polk’s crisp, 
room-filling sound anywhere or everywhere in your home; start 
with one and then add throughout your home. Stream your  
favorite music services, internet radio and your personal digital 
music library all from your smartphone, tablet or computer. 

And because you can mix and match speakers with the open  
DTS Play-Fi

 technology standard, future-proofing your  

technology has never been easier. Newly redesigned iOS and
