I'm fully aware the sonos beam is not designed for production use but I really like the sound from it and want to use it as my reference monitor for music production. Although, I can't get over the fact there is a slight delay when playing real-time instruments through it. Like a drum pad or other virtual instruments. I think this is due to the input being hdmi. I think there's some kind of processing going on there that introduces a bit of delay. I think it's ~35ms. That's a lot for my purposes. I was thinking there has to be a way to hack the beam and diy another type of stereo input. Maybe I'm asking for too much from this and I should just get some 'real' speakers?

The delay is actually something like 70ms if memory serves me right. The only way to really lose this is to use the HDMI-ARC connection.
