Why do my Move2 not work like my erra 300 surrounds. I get a lot of dialog that should come from the center through the Move2 pair. I’m using E Arc and Atmos. My other system of the arc ultra, sub 4 and rear erra 300 works perfect.
Question
Move 2 as rear surround
Sounds odd. If you’re getting ‘center’ dialog, it sounds more like you’ve grouped them with your soundbar, and they aren’t surrounds.
On the other hand, you also mention Era 300s as surrounds. Any Sonos soundbar can only have a single set of surrounds, not multiple sets. Are you expecting a second set of surrounds while the first already exists?
I have 2 systems. Home is the system with the era 300. The vacation home I’m using move2 as surround and they are paired to the arc ultra as surround. I found this info.
Move 2 does not have the Era 300’s dedicated Atmos driver array. So even though your Arc Ultra is receiving Dolby Atmos over eARC, the Move 2s cannot reproduce the rear Atmos field the same way your Era 300s do.
The Era 300 are the only sonos speaker (besides soundbars) that supports Atmos. I’m not sure if that’s what you are expecting from the Move 2s as surrounds.
+18Since you hear center sounds from the rears, it does sound like you’ve grouped them - you can only use Move 2’s as surrounds since a couple of weeks. When did you set them up as surrounds?
