After the last sonos s2 update, my sub is suuuper intense - even when setting the sub to -2 or so.

 

Who else is experiencing this?

 

Thanks:)

Hm not rly better when listening to spotify. Doesn’t happen when watching movies.

 

Any other ideas?

Reconfigured Trueplay and enabled it. Maybe it’s a little better now? Need to test it over the next days. Will reply :)

Alright. I will configure Trueplay again soon and try again.

If you don't get the results you like doing trueplay the normal way (by going around the room waving the device). Try standing exclusively at your main listening position while waving and moving the phone around in that one location. I did it this way and I absolutely enjoy the sound of the system. I have no complaints for sound quality, quantity or clarity.

My sub is WAY too boomy without trueplay switched on.  Trueplay in the room with the sub in my house makes a big difference and a big improvement IMHO

> Have you retuned the set up with Trueplay?

 

Trueplay is disabled.

 

Thanks for your explanation, but I still don’t know what to do now :D

I have the feeling the sub is fine with movies (netflix), but just super crazy with music via spotify connect app. Really crazy. Maybe I will reach out to support

Subwoofers (and other speaker types in general) will “break in” over time. Changing both the sound profile and the sensitivity of the diaphragm. For subwoofers this can offer louder, lower bass. Maybe this is what is happening to you.  Linked below is a sound audio engineer showing this data to put this theory/ debate to rest.  It’s a bit dense as he offers a technical explanation, but an explanation none the less.  

 

One question.  Have you retuned the set up with Trueplay?

 

Measuring woofer break-in.
