About the Sonos Arc Drivers

Hey all,

So maybe this is a stupid question but I'm new to Soundbars.

The arc has 11 drivers, but when listening to music I always only her the center ones and the ones on the sides.

I basically never hear the front facing ones left and right from the center ones. (Even with movies) With Atmos content I at least also hear the upward facing drivers at specific scenes (I assume they are not supposed to always play)

So of course I can only hear it with my ear right next to the drivers, but I was just curious and I can never seem to hear sound from the Left and right front facing ones, only the center ones.

What's up with that, is this normal or is my unit damaged?

Thanks in advance!

I’m so glad you posted this. I’ve been playing with my Arc, constantly adjusting settings trying to get it to sound more direct. I have noticed the exact same thing, the concentration of the left and right stereo channels fires directly out the side woofers. This is what I believe gives it the recessed stereo sound. Sometimes I think standing on the side of the soundbar music sounds better than standing directly in front.

I really hope they can send the stereo L and R to the front of the soundbar where it belongs.

@theprince4u2 im wondering that too.. I dont know about software, it behaves like this with trueplay on an off. Dont you think this could be a hardware issue too? But then its strange that @Audiofn has similar issues.
