Sub and Surround with record player dissapointing sound

So I upgraded my setup from two 100’s to the full set of arc ultra, two 300’s and a sub gen 4.

tv audio is amazing. Huge booms and the arc is astonishing compared to what we had before.

however when playing vinyl (connected with cable to the 100), the audio just feels flat. Adjusting the eq or level of bass on sub feels like it barely makes a difference. Have moved the sub around as well but it doesn’t change a lot. I had the 100’s with record player before, but the sound just seams to expand to the whole room when I select the surround system as well as the 100’s, rather than giving me more bass, more surround and a deeper level of the music.

is it because I have the surround set connected wirelessly to the 100’s that are set up for the record player? Or also I have a small pre amp that’s pretty basic, just to get the job done. Is that something that’s causing this?

Thanks both! Found the right line in adapter page in the app. Turns out it was set at level 2. Putting it higher is already better, will try this for some time to see what it does.

thanks again.

After enjoying for a while, try the 300’s as your music speakers and the 100’s as surrounds and see which configuration you prefer. Swap in the Sub too! Then get your wallet out…

Good idea. We have the 300’s set up with wall mounts around the couch so I think we’ll keep it this way though.

A pair of 300s and a Sub is amazing playing Atmos content, I really notice when Amazon doesn't have a track in Atmos and drops back to stereo. You might reconfigure your room to play with that setup and consider the 300s if adding Sonos to another room

So adjusting the Line-In Source Level as I previously suggested was the “fix”.
