Feature Request: Settings Presets

For Home Theater setups (Arc, Playbar, etc.) either standalone or as a full 5.1 System (Sub + Surrounds) I think users would appreciate the ability to have multiple presets to automatically switch based on source (or, although this is less useful, at a minimum manually toggle via a single button switch in the settings)

For example for HDMI Input (TV) content I much prefer Trueplay tuning turned on as it improves sonic performance incl. speech which becomes clearer and I get better Atmos performance. However, I find Trueplay does not sound good with Streaming Audio from sources such as Spotify, Apple Music, etc. as I suffer from the metallic/harsh treble and loss of mids.

I would suggest a feature so that a user can save custom presets (incl. Trueplay + EQ Setings + Sub + Surrounds settings). If the Arc can switch to that once it detects an HDMI input from the TV but then have the ability to switch to a different preferred profile automatically when it detects music that would be ideal.

These change as I keep adjusting but right now for TV I have Trueplay ON, Sub -2, Treble -1

For Music I prefer to have Trueplay OFF (tinny/harsh sound with overly boomy bass with it On), Sub +2, Surrounds set to Full.

This would save a lot of individual settings that I manually toggle constantly depending on what I am using the system for.

@Annazel S Hopefully this will be implemented soon, its a great idea, I also find im always changing settings around when switching between normal TV, Movies and music, Being able to set presets would be great and save the messing about. A lot of the high end soundbars from LG and Samsung have this feature.

Hi @Mitchellsx.

Thanks for reaching out. 

It is with feedback from users like yourself that help us enhance the end users experience with Sonos.

This was indeed a great idea and I can also understand the benefit out of it. 

Should this be introduced, we will certainly announce it.

In the meantime, I am happy to forward this topic along to the team for consideration and visibility.

Hey all!

I’ve seen several posts/threads almost identical to this one  It would be super cool to have more options for EQ settings or even several different user programmable EQ settings.   I LOVE MY SONOS SPEAKERS and would love them even more with these added features!

 

cheers!
