Sonos Arc Imbalance Issue: Seeking Solutions

Hi everyone,

I've recently upgraded from a Sonos Playbase to a Sonos Arc, paired with two Sonos Play:3 speakers. While the overall sound quality is impressive, I've encountered an issue where dialogue is more pronounced on the left side of the Arc.

Upon researching, I found that this might be a common problem related to the placement of a tweeter on the left side of the Arc, which affects voice output.

Has anyone else experienced this? Are there any known solutions or upcoming software updates that could address this voice imbalance?

Thanks for your assistance!

Hi. 

I've also been experiencing this issue, since I got the Arc at the end of last year. 

I think turning loudness off may have helped a little bit. But it does seem to be a flawed design (asymmetrical) to be honest. Nothing can really be done it seems as a result.
