Polk Audio Signa S4 Dolby ATMOS Soundbar Review | Budget ATMOS Setup

[@baw6745]

Best quality review I have seen out of all my reviewing of new soundbars. I really appreciate the knowledge and detail, especially the details on how much, and what type of bass this can produce. I ordered and I can't wait to try it out. Thank you!

[@Upscaled_HT]

I hope you like it!

[@tendraftsdeep]

Just grabbed one of these straight from Polk for only 199.00 US. Sounds GREAT!!!!

[@rees6328]

Thanks for the review, bought one new in Australia for $378AUD. We usually get hit with crazy prices for HT products. Great find, can't wait to hear it!

[@AJJJ-co2vd]

That's awesome that you have a room dedicated to home theater 🎥

[@DocRealTalk]

Brilliant review, you actually clarified everything I wanted to know. Thanks.

[@Upscaled_HT]

Thank you!

Getting this Black Friday this year hopefully it goes on sale I have S2 been enjoying that since 2019 and I’m ready to upgrade to Dolby atmos 😊btw what model and size tv u have there?

[@YoPaulie21]

Awesome review thank you. I just ordered the Polk S4. I figured if you like it and you have that wicked home theatre, it must be pretty darn good. Cheers.

[@Upscaled_HT]

I was pretty impressed to be honest, especially since it didn’t have surround speakers. I hope you like it.

[@daviddave8266]

​@@Upscaled_HT does it sound better then the signa s2 I feel the older model sounds better

[@roberthunter1957]

Awesome video, my Polk has just arrived today, all set up now and is great for £250 GBP. You can really hear the sound above you and the bass is really nice for the money. All thanks to your great review Thank you

[@Upscaled_HT]

No worries. I hope you enjoy it!

[@scott1506]

hows the dialog in tvshows and movies or playing 5.1 sound films? still same price dont think will be cheaper by black friday

[@roberthunter1957]

@@scott1506 if you are watching a movie that has a lot of explosions, gun fire etc and actors are speaking, you can just use the vocal button to increase the volume/clarity of voice. Works really well. For TV shows there is no need to use this and the sound of voices is very clear

GREAT REVIEW THANKS.

Great straight forward review, thanks for the time.

Thanks for watching!

[@castieldiallo2945]

I have decided to get this. I will purchase it when I find a suitable flat.

Who knows, it may go on sale between now and then too

Brilliant video and in-depth review. will be purchasing this week with the dream to one day to have a 5.1.2 system

[@Upscaled_HT]

Enjoy! You gotta start somewhere man. They have made easier than ever to have a solid home theater these days.

Very thorough review!

Thank you!

Good review! Looking for a Soundbar for my brother to buy, think this is it. How'd you run the speaker wire under the floor to the rear speakers in your family room? I'm assuming you did that before the floor was laid down? Your setup is my dream haha. You gotta soundproof the movie room!

[@Upscaled_HT]

Thanks for the compliment on the theater room. It’s one of my pride and joys. I made a vIdeo about running the speaker wire.How to Install Surround Speakers in your Home Theater - Easy Method kzbin.info/www/bejne/pH29dYhmpLeWY5I

Great video, congrats!! 👏👏

[@MrDfromjersey]

Pairing this with my nebula projector in basement can’t wait to watch movies with an external speaker

[@1405gecko]

Unfortunately, the Polk always plays with all speakers via ARC and Bluetooth, so no pure stereo possible with music. Or is mine defective?

[@georgemorelos6238]

Nice review. Do you have any experience with Bose Cinemate SR 1? Mine just stopped working and I’m looking for a replacement. Do you thing the S4 will do the job? Thanks!

[@rpiazza]

What about hearing the dialogue? I heard a lot of talk about sound, but I want a sound bar that helps hearing the dialogue in a tv show or movie. I read some other reviews on this sound bar and they said that was the weak part of this device.

[@Upscaled_HT]

Dialogue was clear to my ears.

[@sunilkc2008]

Excellent video 👍

[@Upscaled_HT]

Thank you!

[@darrenseah1782]

I have a question. I’m using LGCX with this sound bar. If I turn on earc on the tv and watch Netflix, I can only get blue light (atmos movies) or white light not green light (Dolby movie). If I turn off earc on the tv, I can get the green light for the same Dolby movie which I got white light for. Not sure why this is happening. I thought earc is better than arc? I’m not sure which is correct but now I turned off earc. Also for ps5, if I turn on earc, I can never get green light for games. All white light. Is this also happening for you? If so would like your advise. Thanks.

[@geffreycaruso2411]

Holy cannoli what do you do for a living???

[@MrAsH412]

Awesome video my man. Do you happen to know what's the total wattage of this soundbar? There is one of information I can't seem to find about this soundbar even on Polk's website which is crazy!

[@Upscaled_HT]

I really don’t know but it’s probably not incredibly high.

[@rjduh1554]

Would this work with akexa

[@Upscaled_HT]

I’m actually not sure about that. Don’t want to give incorrect info.

I really need some help with this please I purchase this soundbar recently along with the Samsung TV the problem is when I turn on the TV the soundbar turns on but no sound will reproduce at all Any help with this will be really appreciated thank you

[@spaznetwork6982]

Great review! I'm debating on getting the Signa S4 or the Vizio M51ax-J6 which is a 5.1 system but doesn't have true Dolby Atmos. The Signa S4 also seems to have a bigger subwoofer. Just trying to figure out if the extra 2 speakers will beat an actual Atmos speaker system. Any suggestion? Thanks!

[@Upscaled_HT]

If you can, consider waiting for a bar with side surrounds and upward firing speakers goes on sale. If not, I might go with Polk since you would be able to stream Atmos content.

[@spaznetwork6982]

@@Upscaled_HT Thanks. Yeah I hear you I'm just anxious to get in on Atmos especially at a good price. 😁

[@TonksPortfolio]

can anyone clarify, will it play normal 5.1 properly too? Manual says it can do 'virtual atmos' using eARC. I only have Arc, not eArc. It still sounds great. But i'm only seeing green light so i assume that's no Atmos at all.

[@Upscaled_HT]

You need eArc to be able to hear Atmos.

[@TonksPortfolio]

@@Upscaled_HT Thanks! Annoyingly the 65" version of my TV has eArc...but the 55", my one, has normal Arc. Damn all these tech review sites that group screen sizes together under one review!

[@cluck-kent]

Hey, how does the S4 sound when playing 5.1 content? Any idea whether upwards firing speakers are utilized when non-atmos content is being played? Cheers

[@Upscaled_HT]

My understanding is that it up mixes all non atmos content to work with the up firing speakers.

[@sanchezjrdanny]

I just purchased this sound bar, bass is amazing but i do wish that I could adjust the treble, bc it sounds a bit muffled, the audio is not so clear. Is it just my sound bar? Should i exchange it? Or does anyone else feel the same?

Geht mir auch so.
