There's a key issue with the Playbase, which is marketed for both Music and TV: the EQ settings required for music are very different to the EQ settings required for TV; however the Playbase offers only one setting and requires updating by me each time. A device as smart as Sonos should be able to allow two EQ settings which auto-switch depending on what's being played.



Here's more detail:



For Music, my house seeks a warm response with a good amount of bass. To achieve this we set:

- bass at unity

- treble reduced by around 4 notches

- loudness off, true tuning off



For TV we want voice to come through clearly without being drowned by the bass, and without being too harsh. Here’s what we do:

- bass reduced by 4 notches

- treble reduced by 1 notch

- loudness off, true tuning off, speech enhancement off



What is necessary is that the above two EQ settings can be set up:

- One for when the Playbase is receiving audio from the optic fibre (i.e. from the TV)

- One for where the Playbase is receiving music (i.e. Apple Music etc via Playbase, or via Airplay 2)
