Ok, 16 band parametric EQ. I ad no idea. My apologies! How do access it, and how does it work? How do I make a simple midrange adjustments? Or maybe I’m asking the wrong question. So, maybe, what does it look like on my app? Thanks!

Then why does sonos offer the option to adjust bass and treble after Trueplay?

I think for a majority of Sonos users, a parametric EQ is a definite challenge. That seems as though a sound engineer would be qualified. It’s not likely most folks would. Maybe, not worth the time and trouble for a system that was supposed to be simple to set up.

To suit personal taste. No two humans have an identical sense of hearing. Trueplay deals with evening out a lumpy response (resonances, peaks, nulls, etc). Many feel that such correction leaves the sound a bit lean, hence they like to add back a bit of bass. Similarly some wish to add a bit of ‘air’ in the higher frequencies, for example to counter age-related hearing loss.

And, some like a little more midrange punch. Sonos has a bass slider and a treble slider. Why not a midrange slider? That makes it simple. The everyone solution!

Have you considered perhaps turning up the volume and applying some bass and treble cut?

One additional thought, because Sonos has provided bass and treble sliders, when will Sonos be adding a midrange slider to the Sonos app?

Yes Sir, I’ve tried that. I still find that lacking the midrange I would like. I  think a midrange control slider would be a great addition to the bass and treble sliders. Seems like a simple solution for customers with midrange hearing issues, as well as an improved listening experience for all. I don’t think I’m the only one who would appreciate this upgrade. Sonos has some really great sound engineers! How long will it take before it will be available for Sonos customers?
