Thanks Peter! The only thing better than your expertise is your approach to making content. Really appreciate your candor and commitment to doing things the right way. Hats off 🎉
@@PeterPee Peter I am desperate. I just purchased a full Sonos system with the Arc, 2-sub gen 3’s and 2-300s for the rear surrounds. I don’t know if I could be more disappointed. The dialogue is not good. If I play a program from either live tv or from a recording on the DVR everything is fine. But if I play something from streaming like Max, Tubi, etc or if I play a movie on DVD the dialogue is horribly low. And there is no volume adjustment for the Arc! The speech enhancement does nothing when you are playing a dvd or streaming. It makes no difference on my system at all. Extremely disappointing. To have no way to adjust the volume on the Arc/soundbar is insane especially at this price point. The first movie I played was my Blu-ray copy of San Andreas with Dolby atmos. I had the volume up as much as I could take. The surround sound great, lots of impact. But I was struggling to understand the words the actors were saying. I can’t believe I have invested all this time and money only to find out I have no way to adjust the Arc volume. Do you have any suggestions for me? Thank you
New Sonos owner here; Arc, Gen 3 Sub, and 2 x Era 100's for surround. Discovered your channel just today and have been watching over the last couple of hours and I've learned SO MUCH! Thank you for the wonderful videos, Peter!
Hi,@@Nilsonxix - you have the exact same setup as I did initially (I purchased the Sonos Arc + Gen 3 Sub) before I got the Era 100's. I can say that the Era 100's are working GREAT. I don't have a ton of room where I installed, so the 300's just did not make sense for us as they'd have been way to close to the wall and to other furniture. The 100's had just enough space and they work beautifully. The only real thing you'd be missing with the 300's is ATMOS capable rears, which not sure how much that really means to you. For me with my setup, the Era 100's work great and really made a big difference with surround. And as you said, the 300's were a little pricey for surrounds IMO. I think you'd really be happy with a pair of 100's as surrounds! Cheers.
Great video as usual Peter! I personally really appreciate all your work on the Sonos products. You are an invaluable part of my Sonos ecosystem. Keep up the great work!
I always appreciate your passion, attention to the technical details, AND what matters most to home users like myself - settings, positioning, and anything else to make our systems sound the best it can be. Thanks for all you do. Keep up the great work.
Sibei Ho ! Thanks for summarizing everything in the front and give context for the remaining for the video ! I love how u take time to explain your summary !
Peter I love how you always post the tldr version right at the start. That is a huge reason why I enjoy your content so much and am happy to keep watching after to hear the explanations
Thank you Peter for helping my sonos system sound amazing! Your work has been instrumental and without my system would be lacking. This is just a small token of my thanks!
I'm not going to lie I was thinking he got me again but when you showed the settings I decided to watch the whole video because you deserve everything.
For those that have Arc + Sub Mini, I’m going to guess the recommended settings would be the same except Bass 0, Sub +3. I say that because if you compare his Beam + Sub Gen 3 and Beam + Sub Mini videos, he recommended 1 higher on Bass and 2 higher on Sub for the Mini compared to the Gen 3.
I don't think you talk too much, the more information you provide the more we all benefit so thank you very much for all the hard work !!!! I switched to Sonos mainly because of your videos.
As usual, many thanks for this most informative video! I have paid many hundreds of dollars over the years to have my televisions professionally calibrated so I am in a position to truly appreciate your work here in connection with an improved sound signature for the Arc when combined with a sub. I will adjust my settings and hope I perceive an improvement. That said, as you have indicated several times in this video, “the room”. No two rooms are the same and that space requires individualized tweaks. Fingers crossed.
Dear Peter, I wanted to extend my deepest thanks and gratitude for sharing your findings on the best settings for the Sonos Arc soundbar. Your extensive research and attention to detail have undoubtedly helped many of us who were struggling to optimize our home theater setup. Your efforts have not gone unnoticed, and I am personally grateful for the time and effort you put into making this video. Thank you for generously sharing your knowledge with the community. Your contribution is highly appreciated and will undoubtedly help many of us enjoy our home entertainment systems to the fullest. Best regards,
Peter, your channel is unique in its high-quality, concise, thoroughly-researched and expertly-presented content. You’ve become my go-to source for Sonos technical help and evaluation. Hen hao! PS: You definitely do not talk too much.

"u As they say here in Euskadi Basque Country..."a hard job for Chinese". Thank you very much and may you continue with that impetus of teaching.
These videos are fantastic Peter. Both Sonos and your fans have a lot to thank you for. You just do not get this level of quality, detailed Sonos content elsewhere. Great job!
Thank you so much, Peter! What settings would you recommend for people who have Arc + Sub Mini? Sub +3 maybe? And what about Bass? I really hope you can help us out. ‘Super Thanks’ will be on it’s way!
Huh. You are right. I realised I never made that combination of testing. Actually it is not as simple as just increasing the bass. The crossover will be set differently by Sonos depending on whether the full size sub or sub mini is connected. I will have to test it out. And if the room ain’t that big, sometimes you won’t even have to bump the sub mini output up.
@@PeterPee Thank you for your reply! It would of course be great if you could test this combination (I saw some other people asking for it as well). I hope you won't be too busy with the new Era speakers ;-) . Thank you so much in advance!
Does having the volume limit set lower than 100% make a difference to the sound if you don’t go above 50% volume? Also what settings changes would you make if you pair the arc and sub mini? Thank you!
I haven't done extensive testing to the Arc and Sub Mini so I will refrain from making that call now. But if you are using that combination, try out the settings and maybe just tweak the sub settings from there. There may be some changes to the crossover point for the sub mini so bass settings may need a bit of change too. For the volume limiter, yes, it lowers the volume for everything. So it re-maps the whole volume curve lower by say 20% if you set the limit to 80.
Hi Jatin I was wondering at first been then going through his video it is not a setting. Peter is just suggesting to increase your listening volume by 15% so if you are usually listening at a volume 50 then take it up to 58.
Came across this video while deep-diving into all things Sonos after yesterday purchasing a Sonos Arc and Sub G3, with plans to add surrounds later after I learn more about what I'm considering (a pair One SLs) and some of the newer Sonos offerings (Era 300 and Era 100). Your honesty in the beginning about monetization of your video is what kept watching and I'm commenting before even finishing. Also liked and subscribed, which I rarely do. Well done. Thanks for the hard work, and I look forward to seeing what else you have on your channel. EDIT: After digging into several more of your videos, I've cancelled plans to purchase the One SLs and will instead likely get a pair of Era 300s to get ATMOS in my surrounds.
It's really disappointing Sonos has continued to ignore Android users by making Trueplay iPhone only. Is it so hard for them to include a $5 mic (similar to what Bose does) to get the best room acoustics for ALL users. It's almost a one thousand dollar system for something so important as room correction. Talk about company fan boyism.
@@fmgillis Sonos is considered a high end audio system and are worth over $2 billion dollars. Yet they choose to not accommodate for not even a single flagship android phone. All latest pixel phones in the last 3 generations use the same mic. All of the latest Galaxy phones use the same mic and those are millions and millions of users they choose to ignore. If they choose to not support millions of phones then include a mic to fix the sound. I've owned over 6 AVR receivers for the past 25 years and even the cheapest come with a mic to collaborate the system properly. For them to say go borrow someone's phone to optimize the sound is just plain ludicrous. They support generations of iPads and iPhones yet not a single android. They can make a different sound profile that you select your phone and it can run the proper tests and optimizations. You act like iPhones and iPads use some sort of magic mic. GTFO
I watched your video on my phone with earbuds. I heard a difference when you play the sound demo and noticed the voices were much clearer. I put the settings into my system and noticed the increase in clarity. I have a test mic too, but too lazy to measure and see how it compares to yours. Maybe in the coming days. Thank you very much for sharing
Definitely going to try this out in depth. I tend to use the Night Sound at night when the kids are asleep. So as soon as I can I'll be putting this baseline through its paces. Thanks again!
First thing first thank you for making this video and sharing the details on the settings of Sonos Arc with Sub...I have tried these settings for a day watched some movies shows etc., and here is my genuine experience...The settings you recommended completely takes off the Sonos Arc capability feels like a cheap sound system....it completely sounds flat and even a $100 Bluetooth speaker may sound better...people buy this expensive sound system to experience the theater kind of sound so in my opinion these settings do not work for me at all even for many I hope.... I just hear some sharp dialogue tones highlighted and nothing else.... all the Atmos effects thumping bass vanished right way once I switched to your settings recommended. This is just my experience/opinion...thank you again and keep up the good work...👍🙂
Peter, This Video Is The Reason Why I’m Purchasing The Arc And Gen 3 Sub! I Was Looking At Several Different Soundbars, But This Is All I Needed To See 🙏🏽
Just setup my Sonos home theatre (Arc, Sub, and 2 x One SLs) and your video is one of the first I came across. Will try out your settings and see if they make a difference! :)
Great video…my arc sounds much better now..Thanks a Lot..Just one question volume limit off and then what is about volume limit 15%? If volume limit is off then it is 100 percent right? I like lot of bass so just added bass +5 …Thanks Again….
This video together with the one from 2 years ago on tilting and trueplay has really helped me calibrating the Arc. I was disappointed one week ago but not it blasts (I also had to move back a little the two Play:3 surrounds and might need to to them to -2/-4 otherwise they overwhelm the Arc front and height channels)
@@PeterPee I watched an old 80s movie Wargames which has some heavy bass scenes. I had to keep lowering the volume, so I have dialled back sub to -2 and I'm likely not going to bother with speech enhancement, I don't feel its needed, I can hear speech fine with it off. To me it just overpowers everything and speech sounds to bright/harsh. I also leave loudness off. I left everything else the same though, thanks again, great help as always.
I’ve been an avid viewer of all your Sonos videos Peter and although some of your charts go a bit over my head you certainly know your stuff and I trust your recommendations completely. Please continue to keep us informed of everything Sonos related Thank you
Sibeh Ho! I’m a fan of your channel Peter and I have a issue/question. I just got a new 2022 LG C2 OLED TV, a Sonos Arc/Sub/SL One speakers, and I got my Sonos Arc connected to the eARC port on my TV via a 2.1 HDMI cable. I am watching & streaming Dolby Atmos content on Prime Video & Netflix via my TV apps, but I’m only getting eARC 5.1 sound through the Sonos system and not Dolby Atmos. The Dolby Atmos settings on my TV are greyed out and the Sonos app is showing that I’m only getting a 5.1 signal when I’m connected to the eARC port on my TV. I tried connecting the Sonos ARC to the TV using a non-eARC hdmi port and I’m able to get Dolby Atmos only through my TV speakers. The Sonos system only works with the TV when I connect to it via the eARC port, but it doesn’t allow for Dolby Atmos. Is there a workaround for this? I hear of others experiencing the same issue with LG OLEDs and the Sonos Arc.
Hi Peter, I follow your videos on Sonos and it's been very helpful. Today, I'm coming to you with a problem I'm facing. I have a Sonos arc with a sub gen 3 and a pair of eras 300. When I play Netflix or Amazon prime video on Apple TV device, I see there is lag in the audio. I also use ugreen HDMI cable so I hope it is not the HDMI bandwidth. Can you please recommend anything that would fix the issue? Thanks in advance for your advice.
Hello Peter, great video I have an ARC the big sub and 2 One SL for the back, should I also choose the settings from you or does that only apply if you have the ARC alone?
Hi Peter, I enjoy your channel very much. I have a Sonos Arc in a home theater with Era 300 surrounds. I also have a TV for everyday viewing and a projector for watching movies in my theater room. I would like to channel both through the surround system, however I have been stumped by the one HDMI input into the Arc. I have not been able to find a switch for the TV and projector into the Arc. Do you have any recommendations? Thank you.
Thank you Peter, your content is SUPERB! Just got a BUNCH of Sonos Tech. Living Room: Arc+Gen3+Era300’s Gaming Room: Beam+Mini+Era100’s Sonos is really worth the premium $
Dear Peter Pee, Thank you is not really enough to express how grateful and overjoyed you have made us with your hard work for this best settings and especially for Sonos products. This is one of the best setting for Sonos set system Arc, Sub Gen 3, and surround One SL. I could say now the new update 14.18 and with your recommendation settings made my Sonos set system are amazing. I was really waiting this from long time and it is time to turn off the automatic update. Thank you for your time and effort in order to help us especially for Sonos users. Always keep up with hard job. Wishing you all the best. Sincerely, Saeed from Middle East
loved your explanation. my query is, can youtube actually dish out the audio differences.. i dont think yourube supports Dolby Atmos, hence for us, it wont make any difference.. i did not mean to disrespect you at all here, i am just showing my curiosity, i could be highly mistaken too.. so please feel free to correct me if i am wrong here. thanks in advance.🙂
Sibeh ho! I’m getting the Sonos Arc, Sub (Gen3), and Ones and I’m tying to consume as much content as possible so I can properly squeeze every ounce of performance out of the system. Depending how things go, I might get the Fives next year. I’ve been going through your videos and the content is excellent. Terima kasih (Xie xie, thank you, gracias) for the great work.
I think an extra profile which can be saved and switched between would be a great addition in an update. One for home theatre. One for music.
Attach to Home Assistant and you can do just this.
@@CalMUK91wait what? I just got my arc and sub yesterday. I just add the home assistant? Then what? Please help 😂
Yeah custom presets would be sick. Even 1. Movies 2. TV shows.

Keep making videos, keep engaging your subscribers and keep being independent in your views.
Thank you kind supporter! And for showing it in such tangible ways.
Thanks Peter, could not have done it without you.......
Would this be the best settings for an arc paired with 2 x sonos gen 3 subs and 2 x SLs as surrounds? Thanks Peter!
You might then want to take the sub setting down 1 or 2 notches.
You the only reason I stuck with Sonos and didn’t go to a full home theater with M&k speakers etc. … keep up the good work 🎉
The credit should go to innovators in the industry and making these stuff sound so much better today than 10 years ago.
Great video Peter. Could you do a similar one with the Beam Gen 2 and Sub mini please?
I never watch videos to the end, but this guy has vital information that has made my ARCH sound even more amazing!
Excellent!
Does having the volume limit set lower than 100% make a difference to the sound if you don’t go above 50% volume?
Also what settings changes would you make if you pair the arc and sub mini?

I haven't done extensive testing to the Arc and Sub Mini so I will refrain from making that call now.

Great video…my arc sounds much better now..Thanks a Lot..Just one question volume limit off and then what is about volume limit 15%? If volume limit is off then it is 100 percent right? I like lot of bass so just added bass +5 …Thanks Again….
This video together with the one from 2 years ago on tilting and trueplay has really helped me calibrating the Arc. I was disappointed one week ago but not it blasts (I also had to move back a little the two Play:3 surrounds and might need to to them to -2/-4 otherwise they overwhelm the Arc front and height channels)
Do you still recommend these settings for the arc & sub after the latest updates ?
Thanks very much Pete, just in time was about to a watch a movie and been looking forward to seeing what you use.
Let us know how it went!
@@PeterPee I watched an old 80s movie Wargames which has some heavy bass scenes. I had to keep lowering the volume, so I have dialled back sub to -2 and I'm likely not going to bother with speech enhancement, I don't feel its needed, I can hear speech fine with it off.
To me it just overpowers everything and speech sounds to bright/harsh.
I also leave loudness off.
I left everything else the same though, thanks again, great help as always.
I’ve been an avid viewer of all your Sonos videos Peter and although some of your charts go a bit over my head you certainly know your stuff and I trust your recommendations completely. Please continue to keep us informed of everything Sonos related Thank you
Thank you for showing appreciation!
Sibeh Ho! I’m a fan of your channel Peter and I have a issue/question. I just got a new 2022 LG C2 OLED TV, a Sonos Arc/Sub/SL One speakers, and I got my Sonos Arc connected to the eARC port on my TV via a 2.1 HDMI cable. I am watching & streaming Dolby Atmos content on Prime Video & Netflix via my TV apps, but I’m only getting eARC 5.1 sound through the Sonos system and not Dolby Atmos. The Dolby Atmos settings on my TV are greyed out and the Sonos app is showing that I’m only getting a 5.1 signal when I’m connected to the eARC port on my TV. I tried connecting the Sonos ARC to the TV using a non-eARC hdmi port and I’m able to get Dolby Atmos only through my TV speakers. The Sonos system only works with the TV when I connect to it via the eARC port, but it doesn’t allow for Dolby Atmos. Is there a workaround for this? I hear of others experiencing the same issue with LG OLEDs and the Sonos Arc.
Just ordered one, will be getting it next week. I will try your settings out. thank you
Hi Peter, I follow your videos on Sonos and it's been very helpful. Today, I'm coming to you with a problem I'm facing. I have a Sonos arc with a sub gen 3 and a pair of eras 300. When I play Netflix or Amazon prime video on Apple TV device, I see there is lag in the audio. I also use ugreen HDMI cable so I hope it is not the HDMI bandwidth. Can you please recommend anything that would fix the issue? Thanks in advance for your advice.
Great video Peter! Helped me configure my sonos setup better.
Just found your channel and your content is great. I appreciate you giving the goods at the start.
Thanks a lot John! This means a lot to me!
I'll try this when the ARC arrives in a week. Thanks.
SIBEH HO!!! Love your vids Peter. They have helped me decide what to purchase and how to properly set them up.
Many thanks.
The latest update has reminded me why I bought Sonos. But your settings have made me leave my tv on all day!

Ha! Thanks for staying with me on my channel fellow Singaporean!
Hello Peter, great video I have an ARC the big sub and 2 One SL for the back, should I also choose the settings from you or does that only apply if you have the ARC alone?
It applies.
The comparison at the end says everything. Excellent Video.
Glad that helps!
Hi Peter, I enjoy your channel very much. I have a Sonos Arc in a home theater with Era 300 surrounds. I also have a TV for everyday viewing and a projector for watching movies in my theater room. I would like to channel both through the surround system, however I have been stumped by the one HDMI input into the Arc. I have not been able to find a switch for the TV and projector into the Arc. Do you have any recommendations? Thank you.
Thanks for your good spirit. I really appreciate that sharing the core Contant at the beginning I was so appreciate how detailed you always been.
Do you have recommended settings for the arc with a sub mini?
You are money with your upfront summary.
I can trade the play time as I set it up n try your recommended settings myself! 👍🏼
Thank you Peter, your content is SUPERB! Just got a BUNCH of Sonos Tech.
Living Room: Arc+Gen3+Era300’s
Gaming Room: Beam+Mini+Era100’s
Sonos is really worth the premium $
Thanks Peter! Happy to support your Channel. Thank you for all you do!
Thanks so much for this! I love your help tweaking my ARC. If only we can get the front channel adjustment...
Yep! I hope... ONE DAY SONOS!
Great video! this settings applies if I use Arc + Gen 3 Sub + Surround (2 One SL)
Really impressed Pete with your fine detailing, surprising how much different in changes the sound.
Nice!
Dear Peter Pee,
Thank you is not really enough to express how grateful and overjoyed you have made us with your hard work for this best settings and especially for Sonos products. This is one of the best setting for Sonos set system Arc, Sub Gen 3, and surround One SL. I could say now the new update 14.18 and with your recommendation settings made my Sonos set system are amazing. I was really waiting this from long time and it is time to turn off the automatic update. Thank you for your time and effort in order to help us especially for Sonos users.
Always keep up with hard job.
Wishing you all the best.
Sincerely,
Saeed from Middle East
Thank you Saeed!
Appreciate the effort you put in to make it easy for me to get the best sound out of my Arc. Thank you! 🙏🏼
Thanks for the hard work! Love the approach to the settings preview up front. Totally watched the whole video and subscribed!
Thanks for the sub Nexos!
Sibeh ho. Thank you. Is it only for audio? Can you do something like this for music listening?
Sibeh Ho… and thanks, I always come to your channel for all my Sonos questions. Keep up the great work..
My pleasure! And I am thankful for your trust!
loved your explanation. my query is, can youtube actually dish out the audio differences.. i dont think yourube supports Dolby Atmos, hence for us, it wont make any difference.. i did not mean to disrespect you at all here, i am just showing my curiosity, i could be highly mistaken too.. so please feel free to correct me if i am wrong here. thanks in advance.🙂
Sibeh ho! I’m getting the Sonos Arc, Sub (Gen3), and Ones and I’m tying to consume as much content as possible so I can properly squeeze every ounce of performance out of the system. Depending how things go, I might get the Fives next year. I’ve been going through your videos and the content is excellent. Terima kasih (Xie xie, thank you, gracias) for the great work.
Thank you for the video. Would you say this settings still apply today after the recent updates? Thank you
Hi Peter pls recommend best settings for Sonos arc with sub mini
Sibeh Ho! I am here for your success Peter!

Thank you Pete for that video. Would you change the settings when a sub Mini and not gen 3. is used (more bass level)? Thank you!
Applied settings. Will listen to full video later. You the man Peter!
Thanks ern!
Thanks again Pete! Your settings sibei ho!! Amazingly, it improved overall my listening experience!!
Sibeh ho! I really appreciate these settings and I hope that they work well! I’ll be trying them for John Wick 4 right now!
Hi Peter, thanks for the video. Can I ask if I can use the Apple phone to do the tuning but switch back to android for day to day usage?
