Feature Request: Center Channel Volume and Tuning on Arc

Can we get the ability to tune and control the volume of center channel independently (like surround audio) in a 5.1 setting?  If we get this feature, we won’t have to turn the volume up just to hear the dialogues clearly. 

Bose app already offers such feature for their soundbars.

Any news on centre speaker adjustment for the arc yet  ??? Love my arc with one sl surrounds but really struggle to hear dialogue without turn it right up. Got to the point now where i've given up using it for regular tv and reverted back to the tv speakers. Come on Sonos sort it out !!!

Sonos never gives updates.  The most you get is they will forward your idea to the engineers.

Shame they haven't fixed this one yet given the question was asked years ago. 

Dialogue is so much  better from my tv than it is from the Arc. Not great when you have spent £1200 on the set up

I am really happy with my new Sonos arc but it really needs center speaker adjustment. To avoid to adjust volume continuously now I am living with night sound always on otherwise speech is really low.

Please Sonos team I guess that everyone with arc is happy but want this feature implemented as soon as possible.
