Thank you Peter...I just got this system setup and was looking for a best settings video. I'm so excited to try these out tomorrow :) thank you for doing this

Pete, I waited for my pair of Era 300 to arrive before watching this. Salamat! From the Philippines. Thank you for all you do!

Thanks for all your insight Peter. Invaluable.

Tried these settings and it's completely transformed the sound! Your knowledge of sonos tech is remarkable. Thank you!

Thanks Peter, great instruction. Just bought ARC + 2 off ERA 300 and.... after 3 weeks the SUB-mini. I made a minor change to the sub setting +6, listen to Heartbeat -Sailr.....super sound. De groeten van de Hollander uit België

Great video again Peter! Really made a difference!! Have a great weekend:))

Love the practicality of not baiting us into watching the whole thing.. thank you.. Now I’ll watch the whole video to make sure YT doesn’t penalise you..

I’m so grateful for your videos. I bought my Arc at Costco with a $100 off manufacturer cupón and at Costco the arc is $50 less. So I only paid $749.00 for the Arc. Also ordered the sub gen3 with $550 dollars off I had on my Amazon account so the sub was $250 out of pocket. Also ordered 2 ERA 300s which I received already. I’m planing to install everything soon s Thanks once again.

Thanks for the info Peter!

Merci Peter. This is just incredible work. Ill get 2 Era 300 mid June!!

THANK YOU. So glad I came across your video. As others have said, the sound I’m getting out of my Arc & 300s system is so much better for these settings. It seems crazy to me that Sonos wouldn’t send the speakers out with this sound as default. And even more crazy that most Sonos customers are probably not getting the best out of these expensive speakers.

Ok Peter have tried your settings and the soundstage has definitely improved, wider, brighter, and deeper; however, I'm convinced at this point I have to increase the volume to achieve the same listening level as before with the Sonos Ones. Just wondering if it could be the lack of the front firing speakers in a more open room? For reference, action scenes in my 4k Blu-ray Atmos movies now really need volume 50-60 for that theater-like sound; whereas before, volume 30 seemed loud enough. That being said at volume 50-60 I most definitely get a better sense of fullness and immersion from the surround base and the heights at +10 with an 8ft ceiling. I'm beginning to wonder if maybe the Arc is offloading more to the Era's as well as no-longer having front firing tweeters in the surrounds. It may be just a side effect of this new spatial audio that I need to adjust to. I must say though when it kicks in it really is like a being in a Dolby Cinema! A whole new beast. It would be nice though to be able to actually measure the decibels from the MLP in this case.

Peter, you always do such a great job explaining all of your settings! I have just purchased the Arc, Sub Gen 3, and 2 Era 300's and this has immensely helped with the setup! One question I have is whether these settings apply to watching 4k Blu-Rays from a PS5 and what adjustments on the PS5 end you might have for movies and gaming?

Love your video's and explanations. I hope you can advise me: I own the bluesound soundbar 2i with sub and rears. Great sound but thinking about moving to sonos arc, sub gen3 and a pair of era 300's. Mainly because of the atmos though. I read things about an disabled centre speaker with the 300's. Did that affect your opinion on dolby atmos with Sonos? Does it also play standard 5.1 (dts). Keep up the great work, thanks

Thank you very much

I had trueplay before I’ve seen this video. So just like you said I turned Trueplay of and made your recommended settings. And after that flipped the switch for trueplay on again. And wow…. The sound is so much better, clearer and the atmos sound is so much better now! Thank you Peter.

Peter - Returned the ERA 300 as it wasn’t to my satisfaction. I have an open living room concept therefore left side of the room was non sound existing ( open concept). I bought the ERA 100’s ( since I sold my Sonos Ones). Now I’m back to my usual sound experience way better of course with the 100’s. Sonos eventually will have to allow the user the option of disabling or activating the front speaker. Per Sonos fine print it reads “you will enjoy all six (6) channels from the ERA 300 watching TV, Music & Gaming. Then Sonos deactivated the front speaker. Just my opinion Gracias por todo Thank you for everything 😂😂😂

Thank you for the video - I was wondering whether those settings still apply following recent software updates and whether apply to 2 Sub instead of 1, with Arc and Era 300

Interesting… my adjustments are EXACTLY the same as yours after tuning my system to my ears! Only difference is that I’m keeping Trueplay on because of the weird layout of my living room. I’m getting more warmth in the lower mids

Awesome video as usual Peter, would you recommend these settings for the same exact set up as yours but with a sub mini instead of the gen 3?

@PeterPee

Жыл бұрын

With the Sub Mini, you might need to move the sub output from +3 to +5 or so.

I have a home theater in my living room with an Arc, 2 subs gen 3, and 2 ERA 300s. Recently I added a second sister in another media room with an Arc, 1 sub gen3 and 2 ONEs. Amazing how much better is the sound in the Media room. This just highlights how important is the speakers placement. In the living room I am blocking the sound coming from the side firing speakers on the Arc with two tall cabinets that are 2 feet away. The ERA 300 are not on the ideal position either. The media room is more square than the open irregular shape of the living room. Just sharing this experience to emphasize how critical is speakers placement.

When I do True Play the surround distance are grayed out and set to “more than 10 feet”, but they are not that far in reality (not sure why it does that with true play).

Hey Peter, need your advise please. Currently im using sonos arc ,subx1 and play:1 (L+R rear surround). Should i upgrade play:1 to era 300 as rear surround ? Will i get significant improvement of sound or about the same?

Hi Peter… Firstly, keep up the awesome work. So here’s my question for you… Which is the ultimate Sonos Arc based system:- (A) Arc + 2 x Sub Gen 3 + 2 x Five OR (B) Arc + 2 x Sub Gen 3 + 2 x Era 300 FYI, based your input from this channel, I actually went with (A) above and love it. So the question is, should I replace the 2 x Five as surrounds with 2 x Era 300. Look forward to your feedback. Cheers!

I guess the 5 are stronger bass etc but no way near the era 300s with there upwards fireing speakers and dolby atmos. So i guess if you want more punch have the 5s but otherwise the era 300 would be better as sorrounds? I have the arc base gen 3 and 2 era 300 but im not sure whats best

Nice

I’m normally a full bass and treble kind of guy but I’m going to try this flat curve concept you recommend. Dialogue and front sound stage punch and separation is a bit weak. Thanks

Does having the trueplay turned off make the centre or forward driver in the ERA300 turn on, or is this default turned off when paired in a home theatre setup with a Atmos capable sound bar?
