I have a Beam, Sub and 2 Play One SLs setup as a 5.1 Home Theatre.
I also have Two Play:1s in another room setup a stereo pair. With these if I go into the EQ settings I can adjust the balance.
However on the 5.1 setup I have two poor choices for playing music:
- Leave it in ambient mode which is far two quiet for the Play Ones, but at least it adjusts the balance according to the distance settings for the Surround.
- Go to full mode which allow the Play Ones to play the music as they should, but resets the balance to be equal, making it far too loud in the closest speaker and therefore ruining stereo sound.
Why isn’t a balance slider available for the Play Ones, just as with my paired Play:1s in the other room?
What other choices do I have for balancing out the sound? Would Trueplay solve this? Do I have to consider breaking the Ones and Sub out of 5.1? Could they be grouped with the Beam differently?
If there is no good way to solve this I would like it to be considered as a feature request - and I may have to return my Sonos as it seems ridiculous to spend well over £1000 on a sound system and to not be able to adjust the balance!
