You release a new video for settings but with two Subs, the diferences with the previews video with just one SUB are sustancial. Or add in the comments the new settings with Heights. With one Sub: Bass: -4 ; Treble: -6; Sub: -5; Heights : No INFO old firmware in the time when you release this video. With 2 SUB: Bass: -2 Treble: +3 ; Sub: -4 ; Heights : +4 Surround: 0 Thank you again for this videos, the Sonos Owner community are very happy with this info. ;)

Hi Peter. Thanks for the quality content. I would like to ask your help/advice. I've recently purchased the beam 2 and also two symfonisks. I love the quality of the sound, but as you noted in your video, the dialogue is VERY central. Is there any way of expanding the dialogue somehow? So it's slightly more "distributed" (for lack of a better word). I realize the dialogue is coming from the central channel, but can it somehow be made "broader"? Looking forward to your response!

I purchased the beam 2 recently as an impulse buy even though I had researched a lot of sound bars. I do find the sound pleasant and was surprised at the amount of base relative to the size of the bar. However “true play” didn’t sound any different at least to my ears. Surround sound is almost non existent but maybe because the tv is in a corner doesn’t help. Enhanced speech seems to be just a factory eq preset slightly raising the midband and lowering bass
@PeterPee

Hi Peter.. I tried your suggestion on my Beam gen 1 via HDMI ARC Dolby Digital… I already had speech enhancement on and loud setting and TruePlay.. When I increased the base to +2 and Treble +4 the speech was hard to hear. I dropped the base to +1 and treble +2 and same issue so I am back to 0 / 0. Just thinking maybe your suggestion would be better on Beam Gen2 I am only getting Dolby Digital and not Dolby Digital + so that might affect things due to the lower bit rate on Dolby Digital. A great test for you to do is.. I presume you don’t get lossless Atmos via Dolby Digital+ on HDMI ARC.. ? That would be an interesting sound test Dolby Atmos on ARC Dolby Digital+ versus HDMI EARC Dolby TrueHD

Great content. Just subscribed. I just picked up the Beam 2 and Sub yesterday. Peter how do you connect REW to measure your Sonos system? I use REW and Umik in my home theater, and connect it to my AVR, but don't have an AVR in my Sonos family room system . Thanks!

You’ll need a laptop and umik connected to the laptop. Or pc if it’s in the Sonos family room. The laptop will need to then output to the tv which is connected to the beam gen 2 through ARC port. Then the sound output will be from the laptop to tv to beam gen 2.

Hi Peter, it was lucky to find your chanel, I just bought a Sonos beam primaryly use it as external speaker for my MacBook pro 14" via a LG external monitor (27UN880-B), currently the Sonos beam setup with wireless wifi connection, the sound always have 1 sec lag and sometimes it does have bzee sounds for a second which it is quite annoy. Is there anyway that I can get a eARC adaptor in order to use this Sonos beam pair with my setup flowlessly? Thanks Michael

Yes. But you will need an optical output from your MacBook. Buy a dock with an optical out or buy a usb to optical adaptor though that’s quite a bit rarer. Not sure if I can Point out a particular model.

Just got the Beam Gen II. Configured exactly the same. So far so good. How do I measure the “EQ line” on my own?

You will need a clean usb mic and learn how to use Room EQ software.

Hi Peter! I really like your videos. Are you planning to make your frequency response measurement on the Sony HT-A9 without and with a bass module SA-SW5? It would be a great video because there is a lot of talk about that set as a new generation set.

@@PeterPee Ok, there are also rumors about the new Sonos subwoofer (Sub Mini), so it would be great to compare it to the legendary Sub Gen 3. I know you can not do all that, but the problem is that you do it very well. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
