Knit Sound wants to prove that a soundbar can look good and sound serious. The Knit Form soundbar is a 5.1.2-channel Dolby Atmos bar with 14 channels and 14 amplifiers, priced at $999. Knit offers it in five colours, from Sandstone to Ember, and every one of them is already sold out.
That says something about the interest in the Knit Form soundbar, even before most people have heard it.
Knit Form soundbar: 14 channels in one bar
Inside, Knit has packed a lot of drivers. There are dual built-in subwoofers, two mid-bass drivers with passive radiators, up-firing drivers for Atmos height effects, a reflector, centre midrange drivers, wide-dispersion tweeters and a two-tweeter voice array. Each of the 14 channels has its own Knit amplifier.
Ada architecture and listening modes
Knit calls its processing platform Ada. It drives four listening modes: Universal, Stream, Studio and Arena. There is also a Night mode for late viewing and Voice Focus for clearer dialogue.
Design you want to show
Where most soundbars disappear in black, the Knit Form soundbar is designed to be seen. It comes in Sandstone, Slate Black, Pebble, Ember and Cloud White. The bar measures 45.9 x 3.7 x 5.4 inches and weighs 6.4 kg. An optional wall mount costs $79.
Connections
The TV connects through HDMI eARC. Bluetooth 5.3 handles music from your phone, and Auracast support means the soundbar is ready for the new LE Audio broadcast standard. Knit also offers a 30-day trial, so you can test it in your own room. Looking for an alternative with a high-end pedigree? Read our article on the Sennheiser Scenico Polifonia.
