When will Sonos update the app with a 3 band EQ? Bass-Mid-Treble?

Sonos app update. 3 band EQ BASS-MID-TREBLE greater user control. It’s the weakness in the app.

It’s been a request essentially since Sonos was released in 2005. So far, no updates.

Why am I not surprised. Apparently Sonos has a blind spot!

Or Sonos customer research shows not many people want this, especially since the introduction of Trueplay, or it is technologically less viable to do for Sonos…….

With technology increasing exponentially someone is probably coming up with a 3 or 5 band e q right now for a new surround system like Sonos, if they don’t already have it. Maintaining top of the hill status is hard. I’m always looking at new systems, but nothing yet. I’m sure there will be soon. Sonos sound quality is good, but more e q sound options will make it great. Waiting for now.

You do appreciate that with Trueplay Sonos in fact employs a 16-band parametric EQ?

I think they prefer the additional complexity of exposing that to the user, so that poor choices can be made, and confuse a large portion of the market. Nice to have for the 10%, confusing and potentially harmful for the rest.

A multi-channel PEQ is definitely a challenge, unless one has a measured response, a target curve (such as Harman) and a recommended set of corrections to use as a starting point.

Oh no, not a "or the bunny gets it" post.  Whatever will Sonos do?
