Truplay

Hi
I have sonos arc along with 2 sonos one gen 2. I have a tv table that I have to move every night to watch tv but it is in the same place every time I watch tv. Does this mean something for the calibration of the truplay that I move it every night even though it is in about the same place?

As a general informal rule, I’d say movement of around 10cm might need a rerun of TruePlay, but smaller increments likely wouldn’t. On the other hand, for instance, placing a pillow over the speaker might require a rerun, even if the speaker didn’t move. From my perspective, it’s an environmental change that sparks the need.

Hey @Schoels, welcome to the community.

 

Your calibration shouldn’t be affected by moving the Arc around. Just be sure to perform the tuning process in the location that the Arc will be in the most when watching TV :slight_smile:

No, you should only need to run it once :slight_smile:

To know for sure do a test. True play with table

move and one with out. If you can’t tell the difference then nothing to worry about. True play is (generally) quite subtle unless you make dramatic changes to the room (like change carpet for hard floor for example). 

Lounge: 5.1 Arc HT (2x Subs and 2xP5 rears) with LGOLED77CX. Kitchen: 2xOneW, 2xP3w with SubW. Bedroom: 2xP1s. Office/Studio: 2xP5w. Snug 2xP1s. Garage: 2xOneW. Also 3x Moves.
