The good: The Polk Audio I-Sonic is a do-everything tabletop radio that one-ups the competition by adding HD Radio, XM Satellite Radio support, and DVD video playback to the standard AM/FM/CD features roster. Its two front and two rear speakers combine to deliver a full-bodied sound.
The bad: The I-Sonic is quite expensive, and the utilitarian DVD player seems like an afterthought compared to the more well-rounded audio features. The control interface isn't as user-friendly as it could be.
The bottom line: While its built-in DVD player is going to disappoint videophiles, the Polk Audio I-Sonic sounds impressive for its size and offers a bevy of cool features not found on competing tabletop audio systems.
As you'd expect from a tabletop radio that's so packed full of features, the I-Sonic is slightly bigger than competing products from Boston Acoustics and Bose, but it's still very compact, weighing in at 9 pounds and measuring 4.75 inches by 14.5 inches by 9.75 inches (HWD). While it has two speakers in the front and two on its back side, the unit can be placed on a table in front of a TV as you would with a center channel speaker or tucked directly below a set on a shelf. Ideally, wherever you stick it--yes, it can be easily carried from room to room--you'll want to give it some room to breathe.
Overall, the I-Sonic is an attractively designed tabletop home-entertainment system, but it probably won't make you say to yourself, "Wow, that's one slick piece of gear." The interface isn't a picture of elegance and user friendliness, but it's straightforward enough, and icons and labels on the blue-backlit display are sufficiently large to be read from a distance of about five to six feet. The large digits of the clock are even more legible, and you can toggle between a 12-hour or 24-hour display. As a testament to the fact that the I-Sonic will find a home in many a bedroom, you have the option of setting up to two alarms--and yes, there is a snooze button. As for the small, credit-card-style remote, its buttons are all the same size, but they are clearly labeled and have a bit of color variation to distinguish them.
Radio lovers may well find the Polk Audio I-Sonic to be their dream machine. In addition to the standard AM and FM bands, the Polk is one of the first home radios to offer HD Radio as well. It's not a separate band; you simply tune in your favorite FM station, and--if a digital simulcast is present and within range--the HD Radio icon will begin blinking as it tries to lock in. Once it does--it usually takes just a couple of seconds--you'll have access to a digital signal that offers the potential for better quality and no static, hissing, or pops. Many stations even offer a secondary channel (for instance, 92.3-2) with alternate programming. You'll increase your chances of pulling in stations--analog or digital--when you attach the included external AM and FM antennas. But you'll need to let the I-Sonic know that each one is connected, or it will keep using the default internal antennas. Curiously, the AM toggle is a switch on the radio's back, while the FM toggle is accessed via the system's menu.
But the radio options don't stop there: the I-Sonic is also XM-ready, which means it can receive and decode XM Satellite Radio--with the addition of a Connect-and-Play XM antenna such as the Audiovox CNP1000 and an active XM subscription ($13 a month). What radio lovers will really appreciate is the I-Sonic's ample presets: you can store as many as 30 stations and seamlessly mix and match between AM, FM, HD, and XM stations at your leisure.
If the dozens of commercial-free XM music stations aren't enough, you can opt to connect as many as two external devices to the I-Sonic. You get a set of analog RCA inputs on the back, along with a 1/8-inch minijack input on the side. Rounding out the I-Sonic's connectivity options are two outputs: a side-mounted headphone minijack and a set of RCA stereo outputs. The RCAs are variable outs, not line-level, so they're controlled by the I-Sonic's volume control.
As noted, the I-Sonic is the first tabletop radio we've seen to feature a DVD player, but video--no great surprise--isn't the system's forte. Around back you'll find S-Video and composite-video connectors, but no component-video connection, so it isn't a good idea to pair this with a large, expensive HDTV if you care strongly about video quality. Considering that the I-Sonic is destined to be hooked up to a bedroom or den TV for casual viewing--and the fact that it's difficult to include component video or an HDMI connection in an audio product of this size--we're willing to forgive Polk for that. That said, the company's done a poor job in burying the settings for the DVD player. For example, out of the box, the player assumes you have a standard 4:3 TV, which creates aspect ratio problems if you happen to have a wide-screen HDTV--such as many of those bedroom-friendly 20- to 32-inch flat panels with which the I-Sonic will undoubtedly be paired. To change the default setting from 4:3 to 16:9, you have to hit the Presets button on the remote when you're in the DVD menu. If we didn't just tell you that, you'd probably have a hard time figuring it out. On the bright side, the disc player handles DVDs, VCDs, and audio CDs, as well as home-burned MP3 CD-Rs and CD-RWs and JPEG photo discs.
Once we hooked up the external antennas and fixed the aspect ratio, we moved on to performance testing, which is ultimately where this Polk hits its stride. Cream's Royal Albert Hall 2005 DVD rocked out with a vengeance. Jack Bruce's bass guitar and Ginger Baker's drums packed a wallop and didn't distort, even when we played the I-Sonic at a room-filling volume. Bass definition among tabletop radios is too often sacrificed to provide the impression of big, booming bass, but thanks to Polk's PowerPort venting technology, the I-Sonic's bass was powerful and surprisingly tuneful, so we could pick out each note.
The I-Sonic's two rear speakers and digital processing rely on reflections from the wall behind the unit to create a large sound. We experimented with different placements of the I-Sonic in our room, but the surreal helicopter battle sequences on the Apocalypse Now DVD weren't as spacious sounding as we get from a 5.1-channel speaker system. That said, once we were involved with the film we never thought about the size of the I-Sonic. Dialog intelligibility was another strength of the little system. Treble and bass controls are also available to tweak the sound of the system.
The Polk Audio I-Sonic's CD sound was exceptional. Bass, midrange, and treble were perfectly balanced, so the I-Sonic sounded equally accomplished with all types of music. Likewise, the sound quality on radio stations was generally superb, although the FM reception of I-Sonic was merely average, so it failed--even with the external antenna--to pull in hard-to-receive college stations without static background noise. HD-encoded FM stations produced some fidelity improvement over non-HD stations, with more treble detail and dramatically reduced levels of background hiss. Some stations do HD radio better than others, so you'll potentially hear some variations in sound quality from station to station. Meanwhile, XM satellite radio reception was on a par with that of most other XM-ready systems we've heard.
Like many modern A/V devices, the I-Sonic does have an upgradeable firmware; they can be uploaded from a CD-R or via a USB port on the back (it's strictly for service and has no other function). Polk provided us with an update disc to correct a small glitch that the I-Sonic experienced when switching from DVDs to CDs; following the onscreen prompts loaded the new firmware in a jiffy and fixed the problem.
In the end, even with its handful of noticeable and somewhat irritating quirks, the Polk Audio I-Sonic represents a strong challenge to the Bose Wave Music System and its ilk. From a features standpoint it's an easy winner, and it holds its own--if not beats--the Bose from a performance standpoint, too. Yes, it costs a pretty penny, but when you consider that rivals such as the forthcoming $600 Tivoli Audio Music System don't offer satellite radio, HD radio, or DVD options, the I-Sonic almost looks like a bargain. Hopefully, Polk will be able to further refine the system's menus and options with further firmware upgrades. If it does, we'll update our review to reflect those changes.

the one to own!
by cman516 on September 20, 2006
Pros: rich, room filling sound, does everything but slice and dice
Cons: tricky remote and interface, but i am an expert now

Summary: This is a simple value proposition, these high end radios are expensive, but I figured if I was gonna shell out $500 for the Wave Radio, I should at least take a look at this beauty. I was intrigued because Polk speakers have always sounded so good. It is a handsome unit for sure and I can tell you, the sound is just exquisite. The 360 degree soundstage offers much more flexibility on placement, and when you add DVD, HD Radio, and XM capability(I am a Sirius guy myself), the $100 premium over the Bose is well worth it. I mean...I freakin' took it on vacation with me, my wife is now convinced I am nuts!!!! It sounds better than the Bose, hands down. I've had Queen and REM and Who DVD "concerts" in my kitchen with more than enough room-filling sound to rock the house. I thought my guests would pull out their lighters. We sang and danced and had a great time. With the included FM antenna, I was able to pull in most HD broadcasts easily. Cruising up and down the dial finds the unit searching for the digital signal while playing the analog, once it latched onto the digital signal you find out what you've been missing in the anlaog broadcast. I won't listen to analog FM anymore. The HD broadcasts truly are CD comparable. My iPod was easily amplified without distortion and I actually no longer listen to my Sony Bravia audio, I pipe the TV audio through one of the two I-Sonic auxillary inputs. My wife loves it, the dialogue from her TV shows is deeper and more understandable through the I-Sonic in our sonically unfriendly kitchen. She was amazed when I hooked it up for her, and pleased to find out the TV remote actually controlled the I-Sonic volume, she wondered how they did that? The remote is a little quirky and the preset scrolling is a pain but at least if I misplace it or my 4 year old steals it (which happens often), I still have full functional control over the unit through the buttons. The menu interface is not initially intuitive, but after a day or so, I was able to command the unit easily, not too bad. CD's, once again, no problems, they just sound great. The Bose seems so boring now. For a hundred bucks more, I am able to enjoy the famous Polk sound and entertain myself and others so much more. I highly recommend it.

Overly ambitious, falls short

Summary: The I-Sonic attempts to offer everything but falls short in many crucial ways. It is compact and attractive, and the audio quality is superior to its Bose Wave counterpart; base/treble can be controlled by the user. However, the convoluted menu hierarchy to access the myriad of features is very frustrating, and most of the menus cannot even be read without closeup scrutiny. The remote hardly simplifies things, as it recreates the the same organization. What were the designers thinking - is this still 1973? The sound quality trumps Bose, but to have to push many buttons to access sleep mode makes me long for the clock radio I-Sonic replaced. The convenience of having three banks of preset radio frequencies is lost in the shuffle of button pushing to access them. It is easier to tune the radio manually! Who are they kidding about being "XM Ready"? You need to buy a $60. tuner and antenna to hook up to your $600 machine. Any other system with an Aux input can do the same or better. Since my big financial investment, I am going to enjoy the music I-Sonic puts out, until Bose improves their sound, since they are still aces when it comes to intuitive design.
Updated
The tuner function of the I-Sonic no longer works, and Polk Audio has offered to replace. After two months of use!!7 out of 7 users found this user opinion helpful.

sets a new standard for integrated table-top audio systems
by kingthedog on September 20, 2006
Pros: sound quality, full-featured, design

Summary: My experience with Polk's Isonic has been overwhelmingly favorable. For me, a long-time audio hobbyist, the best things about Polk?s little marvel are sound quality, feature set and looks, in that order. Polk's proprietary 4-speaker arrangement provides a spacious, room-filling soundstage that especially lends itself towards DVD soundtracks and demanding CD's. To contrast with Bose, with which I have considerable experience, the Isonic sounds bigger, warmer and more natural. Bass performance is exemplary for a small, integrated tabletop unit, better or equal to Bose in this regard. That the feature set includes DVD, HD-radio and XM sets it apart from its competitors, easily justifying the extra $100+. For me, radio reception is acceptable using the provided FM dipole and internal AM antenna and probably will get better with use of a decent aftermarket FM antenna. HD sounds as good as advertised though there are only a few HD stations in my area. Finally, the design itself -- modern/contemporary but not too radical looking -- is truly a thing of beauty. Everyone who has seen it in my home remarks favorably on its design, even my sister who, as a graphic artist, is extremely critical when it comes to industrial design. She actually said that she wouldn?t mind having one in her living room which she treats like a museum. Believe me, there is no higher compliment for a consumer product?s industrial design.
To acknowledge some other reviewers? complaints regarding the user interface, while it may not be immediately intuitive, once I understood how the buttons above the LCD display relate to the on-screen options, I had no problems operating the Isonic to its full capabilities, which are formidable indeed. My non-technical wife mastered the basics after a quick lesson. The option of using buttons to navigate the UI (as opposed to the remote) is welcome, especially if/when the remote isn't handy (or worse, lost). As everyone knows, once you?ve lost the Bose?s remote, you?re SOL. Sorry Bose?
To summarize, the Isonic is a great sounding full-featured entertainment system. Its audio performance is so good you may find yourself listening to it instead of those giant columnar speakers and accompanying rack of equipment in your living room, I know that I have.7 out of 9 users found this user opinion helpful.

Apparently lots of defects in early models, Nice sound and features
by drdobro on September 18, 2006
Pros: Does a lot, great sound, very convenient. Most options of any tabletop hi fi set

Summary: There are too many problems for the price of this unit. For the first defect I had, XM reception would go out suddenly despite a good location. Polk quickly replaced the unit and the new one seemed well until the broacast band began to have intermittent problems with loud chuffing noises. Isonic support says it's probably from brownouts in my house and to keep them posted (I'd have expected them to replace this unit too, given that the broadcast band is unusable with this behavior). I will try to see what happens for another week or two. However, I have a Bose, a Tivoli, a cheap Sony battery powered and a Cambridge 740 Soundworks and none of them suffered from the same problem during these episodes. Unfortunately, this one may have to go back too if the problem persists. There is also a problem with very poor responsiveness to the DVD-CD mode - slow to open tray, freezing. There is a new firmware update that is supposed to fix this. It will be a very good radio when all the bugs are ironed out, but I regret paying so much for it.
Updated
The loud chuffing noises would not go away, so I needed to get a second replacement radio. It's been a very good radio now for months without problems. It seems optimized for fidelity with compression of Satellite radio, so one of the better options for listening to music on Satellite.5 out of 5 users found this user opinion helpful.

A truly amazing one-piece audio/video system

Summary: I got my I-Sonic almost a month ago, and I must say that it?s a remarkable system. Having all these features in a single compact unit is great. It?s especially nice to get two of my favorite sources so conveniently together: DVDs and XM. But, the most amazing thing is the sound quality. Until you hear it yourself, you cannot believe how full and deep the sound can be from such a small system.
It can play surprisingly loud. But, what I like even more is how clean and full the sound is at normal listening levels. If you think background music has to sound thin and reedy, you have not heard an I-Sonic.
OK, the menu system takes a little while to get the hang of. But, after a bit of trial and error, you get it. This thing has so many features and functions that it pays to actually read the manual.
Overall, I am very pleased with my I-Sonic. A friend has the Bose Wave, and it?s not bad. But, when you look at all the additional features plus far bigger sound, I-Sonic is a clear winner.5 out of 6 users found this user opinion helpful.

So much more than a radio
by sizzleJ on September 5, 2006
Pros: Sounds Great - fills a room with sound not equipment, DVD playback & XM, simple to use.

Summary: I got this puppy about a week ago and I must say I'm impressed. The sound is amazing, it really does fill a room and you do not need to sit right in front of it.
You really can't compare this to the Bose or Cambridge, its in a league of its own. I think the DVD is great but only works because the sound fills a room and makes for a very enjoyable experience. I have an XM CNP-1000 with my Denon receiver so I tried with the I-Sonic and it worked great but I did have to use an external antenna to get any HD radio stations.
I have read some of the other posts, not sure they have actually used the product. Personally, I find it easy to use; a little confusing at first but it does so much more than a Bose radio; a more fair comparison would be to a HTiB or reciever.
Bottom line - I think the 100 bucks over Bose is well worth the spend.4 out of 5 users found this user opinion helpful.

Summary: The truth is that I have not had a chance to try it. I ordered the I-sonic plus two accessories to go with for a total of $750.00 and it has already been a month still no Polk. I called a week ago to find out how much longer and was told since the holidays it may be running a bit slow. It was supposed to had been shipped on the 21st of Dec. Today is the 14th of Feb. I called again today and this is what I got: We will send a message to the home office and they will look to see if there is a problem and that would take a few weeks. I said no REFUND and CANCEL. He said no. I asked for a supervisor and was told there wasn't one there and said he wasn't allowed to put me on hold then hung up on me. I called back and again was told I couldn't talk to a supervisor. This time I hung up and called my credit card company. They credited my acct. back and will take care of it {thanks discover}. Be aware that if you have any problems {that's if you can get it} there is absolutely NO CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!

HD RADIO OVERHYPED /CD PLAYER TICKING & CONSTANT NOISE

Pros: LOADED WITH FEATURES

Summary: Sorry, I tested both the POLKAUDIO I-SONIC next to the BOSE WAVE MUSIC SYSTEM in my own home in numerous rooms and locations. CONCLUSION: BOSE for all of the following reasons; #1 Sound Clarity, #2 FLAWLESS CD PLAYER, #3 Ease of setup & use #4 Optional lit remote. My only complaint of the Bose is that they don't offer HD Radio. However in their defense the signals for HD RADIO through the I-SONIC were not always clear & occasionally would drop out to analog for no apparent reason & then come back into digital HD. Also, CD/DVD player in the I-SONIC was noisy and had a ticking sound that was audible up to about sound level 15 (1/2 VOLUME)with nearly every CD I tried in it! So loud that I couldn't stand using the CD player at all! Crutchfield paid for return shipping and offered to send me a new I-SONIC, but after reading countless reviews on CNET & Amazon it looks as if I'm not the only one that experienced this problem. I love the dream of the I-Sonic, but the reality dissappointed me, also HD RADIO IS overhyped, especially if you have a crystal clear FM reception, they sound NEARLY identical, SLIGHTLY higher clarity but not enough for me to put up with the high reliability risk of the I-SONIC as posted by many other users. For now I'm loving the sound from my BOSE WAVE MUSIC SYSTEM!!!

Not a good buy in the long run

The first year of use was without problem! Then, almost to the DAY of receipt, our Polk HD Radio started buzzing, then hissing. The CD receiver would not open, the LCD screen started having what I called epileptic seizures and then it simply stopped working. Nothing on the screen, nothing coming out of the speakers.

Buyer Beware!!
by Ed Baxter on December 2, 2007
Pros: Outstanding Sound - Best XM Sound I've Heard
Cons: I am returning my 3rd I-Sonic for CD/DVD player failure and Loud Buzzing Sound

Summary: I wanted to love this so bad. I am a huge fan of XM and wanted something that would make it sound as good as it could considering the amount of compression that they use for broadcast. I got my first unit in March and was super impressed with it. Within three months an audible hum that got louder as time passed was present when using the DVD/CD player. The unit eventually started powering down as soon as I attempted to play a DVD or CD. Then the buzzing was on all functions of the unit. My replacement unit did the same thing almost exactly the same amount of time later. I was really unhappy and Polk assured me that the flaw present in the I-Sonic's disc player had been discovered and that if I allowed them to replace it one more time the unit would work "flawlessly". Much to my dismay the unit failed in the exact same way on the night before Thanksgiving as my wife and I sat down to watch a movie on it. I was furious and Polk offered to give me a refund and apologized for the dissatisfaction I had experienced with the unit time and time again.
Polk's customer service sent me an email last week sating the following:
?I'm very sorry you are experiencing such frustrating disappointments with the I-Sonic. I would feel exactly the same way and there would be no problems in giving you a complete refund. We can provide a pre-paid shipping label which will bring the unit to our facility in San Diego and process the refund.
I can point out, however, that we firmly believe that we have determined the root cause of the problems you have been experiencing. There are three critical components, one in the unit's power supply and two on the digital processing board that were improperly substituted by the vendor. The failure of these components can cause humming/buzzing and reduced CD/DVD playback. We have been replacing these components and have not had a single repeat of the problem. If you are willing to give us one more chance we can quickly bring your unit to our San Diego facility and accomplish the repair in short order. We believe in the capability of the I-Sonic, as I think you do as well and only want it to be the best product of its kind.
Please let me know what you would prefer to do.
Best regards,
Polk Audio?
I have to admit that I?ve only ever heard good things about Polk products, so I am going to give them one last chance. They have always been very quick to admit fault and always offered a refund. Thing is that if this unit is finally fixed, it buries the Bose Wave System. What I do suggest is that if you are looking to purchase an I-Sonic that you do so directly from Polk. If you purchase it from someone else you risk getting a radio that?s been in stock for a while and ultimately dealing with the headaches that I?ve described about. In three months I am going to do a follow up and let people know if Polk has in fact remedied the issue or if you should steer clear of the I-Sonic all together.2 out of 2 users found this user opinion helpful.
