Take your music to every room

Imagine your favorite song following you from room to room. Or every member of your family playing their own favorite song in every bedroom. That's the beauty of the Polk Audio Omni whole-house music system. The Omni S2 compact wireless speaker is an ideal place to start, by adding music to one or more rooms. The S2 is easily set up and controlled via Wi-Fi® with your smartphone or tablet. Adding speakers is as simple as plugging them in and tapping a few buttons. In just minutes, you can have music playing throughout your house, without running a single wire except plugging them into a power outlet.

Play loads of music wirelessly with your smartphone or tablet

The Omni S2 offers lots of ways to listen to music. The free Polk Omni app for Apple® and Android™ is your hub for accessing music stored on your smartphone or tablet. You can also stream music from networked computers and music servers. If you're one of the millions of Spotify® Premium subscribers, Spotify Connect lets you access all your favorite albums and playlists. There's built-in support for Pandora® Internet radio and SiriusXM. Plus, you can choose from over 37,000 free Internet radio streams, for a nearly endless supply of music and other programming.

Play-Fi® turns every smartphone into its own music system

The key to the Omni S2's wireless music capability is Play-Fi. Developed by audio innovator DTS, Play-Fi allows you to play the same song through multiple speakers, play a different song in every room, or let each member of the family control speakers independently with their own device. Play-Fi can transmit lossless audio at CD quality to up to 16 speakers or components on your network. Best of all, the Polk Omni S2 can work with other Play-Fi speakers from other manufacturers. That means you can mix and match different brands of wireless speakers, offering more flexibility than closed systems.

Sound you'll enjoy as much as we do

Polk Audio speakers have long been favorites with our customers, as well as our employees. The Omni S2's sound is just what we've come to expect from Polk — smooth, clear, and well-balanced, with tight bass that doesn't overwhelm and detailed high frequencies that don't pierce your ears. Just what you need to turn a day of doing chores around the house into a music-charged pleasure.

Features

Omni S2 Active Wireless Speaker: The Omni S2 is a compact wireless speaker that lets you put Polk's widely respected signature sound in any room of your home or office. The Polk Audio Omni S2 uses two 2" full-range drivers powered by a two-channel Class D amplifier, while the two 2" passive radiators create a fuller bass response. The Polk Audio Omni S2 includes two cloth grilles (black or white) which are interchangeable. The black cloth grille comes pre-installed.

Omni Series: The Omni S2 is part of Polk Audio's Omni Collection, a series of wireless products that allow you to control what you want to listen to from your smartphone, tablet, or computer and stream it wirelessly to any room. You can start with one Omni series wireless product and then add more throughout your home or office.

Note: Up to 16 Omni series and/or Play-Fi enabled products can be combined in one multiroom system.

DTS Play-Fi Wireless Technology: Polk Audio's Omni series collection of wireless speakers employ DTS Play-Fi wireless technology for wireless sound that is reliable and high-quality. DTS Play-Fi combines DTS audio and WiFi (802.11 g/n; 2.4/5.0GHz) wireless technology to wirelessly stream high-definition "lossless" audio with no impact on sound quality. DTS Play-Fi will stream pure, bit-for-bit, lossless audio, for uncompromised quality sound; up to 16-bit/48kHz. DTS Play-Fi has a range of up to 100' from your wireless router.

Note: All DTS Play-Fi enabled products work seamlessly together, so there's no hassle adding more speakers, or choosing more than one audio brand (like Definitive Technology, Phorus, Wren, etc..) in your home.

Simple Setup: There are two methods for connecting the DTS Play-Fi speaker to your home network. You can perform WiFi setup via the Polk Omni App on your Apple iOS/Android mobile device or Windows PC (this setup allows you to connect multiple Play-Fi device at once to your network). You can also use the WPS button on the speaker if your wireless router supports WPS (this setup only allows you to connect one Play-Fi device at a time to your network).

Polk Omni App: Download the free Polk Omni App onto your Apple iOS (6.0+) device, Android (2.2+) smartphone/tablet, or Windows (7/8) PC for easy and convenient management of your music from your mobile device or computer. From the app you can initially set up the Omni wireless speaker system, as well as add, link, and control all your Omni and DTS Play-Fi speakers. You'll be able stream music directly from the system's built-in music online services, or music on your mobile device or PC to multiple Omni series and DTS Play-Fi enabled speakers through out your home. The app lets you browse your music by artist, album, genre, or title; and provides album art. You can choose to play the same music in each zone or a different song in each room.

Variety Of Sources: Polk Audio's Omni series wireless speaker collection supports a variety of music sources.

  • Mobile Device (Apple iOS + Android): You are able to wirelessly stream your music files from your music library on your Apple iOS (8.0+) or Android (4.0+) device to the Polk Audio Omni speaker system through the free Polk Omni app.
  • Online Music Services: From the DTS Play-Fi app on your mobile device or computer, you can share and listen to Pandora, Spotify Connect, SiriusXM, TIDAL, Amazon Music, iHeartRadio, Napster, and Internet Radio. While the DTS Play-Fi app is free, not all the online music services are (subscription & purchasing fees may apply).
  • Computer Audio: The Polk Audio Omni series wireless system is DLNA compliant for playback of various music files stored on your Windows PC (7/8) or DLNA-certified NAS drives connected to your home network. MAC OSX computers and laptops require third party software to be visible on the network (Twonky, Plex, Servio etc.) as they do not support DLNA. Use the free Polk Omni app on your mobile device or computer to access these music files.

Supported Music Files: The Polk Audio Omni series wireless system and DTS Play-Fi support music formats such as MP3, AAC, FLAC, and WAV. The system will recognize music files up to 24-bit/192kHz and wirelessly stream these files at up to 16-bit/48kHz (CD quality sound). Some down-sampling may occur to ensure virtually lossless distribution throughout a home network.

Critical Listening Mode: For those who wish to hear high resolution audio as originally intended, Critical Listening mode will enable native rendering of high resolution files up to 24-bit/96kHz, with no down-sampling or network synchronization adjustment. In this way, audio files retain their original audio integrity. Critical Listening Mode is only available on one DTS Play-Fi speaker and not supported for multiroom audio distribution.

Maximum Number of Rooms/Zones Supported: You can play the same source in each zone or a different song in each room. Eight separate wireless source devices (smartphones, tablets, etc.), each with its own source, are supported simultaneously and any wireless source device can stream to eight DTS Play-Fi playback devices. Due to the bandwidth limitations of most wireless networks, no more than 16 wireless DTS Play-Fi products on a single WiFi network at one given time is recommended.

Stereo Pair: The Polk Omni app lets you link two Polk Omni S2 speakers together to create a stereo image with discrete left and right speakers. This is perfect for larger spaces or for the enthusiast who wants a stereo image. After you setup a stereo pair, the two Polk Omni S2 speakers will show up as one "Speaker" under the speaker tab of the Polk Omni app.

Wireless Surround: You can use a pair of the Polk Omni S2 wireless speakers as rear surround speakers for the Omni SB1 Plus soundbar speaker system. Simply update the speakers' firmware using the Polk Audio Utility app (for iOS & Android), followed by a single update to the DTS Play-Fi software using this same app. Once updated, setup is simple and can be completed in minutes. It is highly recommended that the wireless rear surround speakers be placed on the 5GHz band of a dual band AC router.

Aux Input: A 3.5mm auxiliary input lets you connect and play music from other audio sources, such as a portable CD player or MP3 player with an audio output or headphone output jack. This input can only be played back at the speaker location and cannot be used for a multiroom application.

Mounting Options: The Omni S2 can sit horizontally or vertically on a table-top.

AC Power Adapter: The Omni S2 operates off of standard household current using the included AC power adapter.

  • Input: 100-240V~50/60Hz, 600mA Max
  • Output: 24.0V-100mA

Q
Does it support Apple air play?
mike  Aug 23, 2017

No. The speaker is amazing, however the Polk app needs some work. It does not support apple podcasts or airplay.
matthew  Aug 23, 2017
Q
can you stream youtube to this speaker? thanks
david  Mar 14, 2017

A
Haven't tried it yet David. I imagine that if your you tube receiver device has a headphone jack, you could run that output to a mini jack input on the Polk, that I know works well.
ross  Mar 16, 2017
Q
is this compatible with the sonos system?
mari  Mar 19, 2016

A
Sorry for the delay in my response - busy time. I found the Polk itself to have great sound for a small speaker, but it did not work reliably with the Sonos system, which I have given up on, because although it works with its own speakers, the Sonos speakers are very "low fi," to my ears,
gustav  Mar 25, 2016
A
Sry. I don't know
paul  Mar 20, 2016
A
No. Though, it works with all Play-Fi devices; even those from other manufacturers.
kevin  Mar 20, 2016
Q
Can I use the Omni S2 via Bluetooth? The Play-Fi is genius, but I can't play all my music. Speaker is top notch

I won't return it. Just learning. Thank you all for the responses.
alec  Jan 09, 2015
A
There is no bluetooth functionality for this speaker. WiFi only, you are limited to the audio sources supported by the app.
jeffrey  Jan 08, 2015
A
I returned the speaker I ordered Because it was a Wi-fi and not a Bluetooth which was what I really wanted.
arthur  Jan 08, 2015
A
No the Omni S2 connects via Wi Fi only so you have to use their App to connect to the internet stations or play music that is on your devise assuming the devise is connected to your router. Hope this helps
anthony  Jan 08, 2015
A
Hi, glad you chose Polk! Unfortunately, the Omni S2 is not bluetooth compatible. It only works on play-fi which offers better quality compared to bluetooth. However, if the wifi signal strengh isn't the best, the S2's could have a problem. I'm in the market for a signal extender which could possible solve the issue. Hope this helps.
ranjith  Jan 08, 2015
A
No to the Bluetooth question.
dale  Jan 08, 2015
Q
Can a TV or CD player be hooked up to the speaker through the Aux input? Thanks....
bill  Nov 22, 2014
1 answer
A
Absolutely. Any device with an auxiliary output can be connected to the Omni S2. For anything with a headphone or mini-jack output you will need a stereo mini to stereo mini cable. For a device that has an RCA style output you will need an RCA to stereo mini-jack cable. This input can only be played back at the speaker location and cannot be used for a multiroom application.
