Increase Atmos Channel effects on Sonos Arc with Sonos S2 Version 13.1!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 май 2021
- Sonos S2 Version 13.1 brings to Sonos Arc owners the ability to tune the heights channel volume levels! Increase or reduce it as necessary. I suspect most of us will end up increasing it rather than decreasing it but hey, whatever, this feature request is now HERE!
I have previously asked for this feature from Sonos and the video for the top 10 feature list was done almost a year ago! The video is linked here: • Top 10 new features we...

Just found this video ... it answers 99% of what I was trying to understand in my latest comment on one of your latest posts. Love the sound sweeps of the various configurations. Well done.
Thank you! I have 25 ft ceilings Ana this height adjustment works wonders. I appreciate the detailed explanation!
I was just watching your video on how to improve the height channels this morning, guess its easier the new way lol
Thank you for making me aware of this update
Subscribed, thanks for the ongoing Sonos reviews and updates! I just joined the Sonos club. Wasn’t a audio guy till now!
Sonos isn’t for audiophiles lmao.
thanks for letting me know this! just raised my volume on my atmos height speakers!
Great video and a great channel! I had the feature already and didn’t even know it. Looking forward to putting it up to 11.
Woooooooow peter HOOOOONESSSSTLLLLY ur simply the best!!!!i already have the 13.1 upadate of the sonos arc and i only knew about the height channel only a few minutes ago!!!its because of you thank you thank you thank you…more power to you and your channel 👏👏👏👏
Awesome Peter, we can see how excited about it you are, and I can’t wait to try it.
FANTASTIC video as always. Your videos are more informative than any SONOS have in their website.
Great video as usual man! Look forward to the next one.
As usual, awesome review! thanks!
Thank you so much for this video. You are the man!
You're doing the lord's work. Sonos is an excellent product and I'm glad to see them listening to the community!
Thanks Pete for your response. Great video
Thank you Peter so much for the download link
Another great review 👍
Extremely happy with the new update. It makes a big difference. Maybe down the road Sonos will release another update that adjusts the side speakers and center. Thank you for everything.
Excited to get home and try this! I have a high ceiling so hopefully this helps.
Hi Peter. Fantastic work as always! I second some of the people’s comments/request to have the ability to have:
(1) multiple saveable profiles (music, gaming, movies etc) but also;
(2) ability to also adjust the centre, left and right audio. I feel that my left and right speakers do not have a great dynamic range and I usually can’t tell things moving left to right (too much, only a little bit) despite having a wide front room.
Hit thumbs up if you guys agree too!
Another great video!
LOVE YOU BRO!!!!! THANKS :)
Hope all is safe over there
BRO……..🙄 good grief - are you 8yrs old?!
@@any1younger almost 8
Just picked up my ark and Gen 3 sub .I’m really looking forward to seeing all the video you put on the net .I will be pairing this with the Sony A90j 65 I think it’s going too be a good thing.
You are a sound genius.
Thanks, Peter. This was another great one, as usual. I didn’t even realize this was pushed out. What I was hoping that you would test and comment on is what ceiling height would correspond to what setting. For example, for a 12’ ceiling, use +4-+6 or for a 15’ ceiling go to +7-+9, etc. 🙏🏾
Peter continue with the great videos. The best by far. I wanted to hear your thoughts on the Sonos Boost. Maybe you can do a video dedicated to it. Thanks again.
I think that Sonos should ask you what to do with every problem 😅 And it is very important for me to hear that Sonos listens to the community and FINALLY acts faster than usual. Thank you for this important video. You should be hired by Sonos. (Sorry for my terrible English) 🙈
Sonos just needs to listen to the consumers...A lot of people have good ideas. The problem is that A- it cost the company for more sound formats or B they lack the technical programing to carry out the task. Think about it some people use a sonos sequencer in order to pair certain speakers....surely they would know how to do that if it was Sonos listening to the consumers.
Thank you, there is a 13.2 version that was recently added I will like to see your review ✅✅✅✅✅✅
Good to see you after long time Peter!! Hope you are doing good. What is your recommendation for height audio level Peter?
Question for you Peter: Do you still recommend adjusting the physical angle of the Sonos ARC based on ceiling hight and the distance to the primary listening position? Would it be better for overall sound quality to keep the Sonos ARC level and increase the height channel volume? Adjusting the angle of the Sonos ARC has improved the Atmos effect but I’m concerned it also may be having a negative impact on the center channel due to the center speakers being slightly angled towards the ground. I would also like to thank you for the work that you do putting these videos together. You have helped me get the most out of my Sonos system!
Great info and video Peter! Thanks!🙏 what height did you set your drivers?
I’d love if Sonos would allow a the addition of two more speakers in a 7.2.2 arc setup
Yes 🙌 that is a nice dream 💭
I'd love if they let me make a 7.2.4 system with 1sls or 5s as surrounds AND as atmos (no bouncing) and make truplay with android..
What would everyone be doing. Hiring electricians to wire in a electrical ports...that won't be cheap. Much easier pulling speaker wires from a traditional receiver setup I would think. Also no sound format limitations.
So are the 2 surround SL ones making this a 7.1.2 system or is it still a 5.1.2
@@TylerTron21 so my question is, the arc as a standone bar is a 5 channel system.
When you add 2 surround channels in the form of SL ones, what happens to the 5 channels from the arc?
Love the videos, very informative. Any chance you doing a review of the HDFury Arcana?
Ok. Now where is the center adjustment. People have been asking for for years. And apparently would be as easy to add as the Atmos height adjustment.
YES!!
Thank you for this video Peter. Since you seem to have at least some influence with suggesting updates/features to Sonos may I ask how you feel about (1) Separate level control for those of us using two subs? and (2) I'd like to keep my music settings separate from my TV True Play Setting. Being able to have my music levels saved would be great, then once I go back to TV my true play settings would already be saved and restored. Thanks!
I was able to play this on my Shield TV and although my Sonos app showed Dolby Atmos (DD+) the sound was coming from my rear speakers when the test video displayed the left and right up-firing speakers. Any ideas?
Thank you so much for providing best sonos eq setting and I followed the same. However after changing this setting my bass sound is reduced and don’t listen the boom effect. Could you please tell me which setting is best to increase the bass is it eq or sub?
Dose it matter (quality-wise) if I have my ARC (and Sub) connected to an Ethernet?
Love your videos. What are you using to play the Dolby test video?
hi Peter do you know if the Trueplay uses this new channel adjuster?
When you say it’s finer tuning 0-15 instead of 0-10. Is it the same loudness at 10 and 15 and now you have more options within the range? Or is 15 now louder than 10 was?
Does anyone know if he has a video on how to setup a sonos system with uneven rooms or measurements? I want to add 2x play1's as rear surround speakers in the corners of the ceiling, however, one speaker is further away than the other. Does trueplay help with this as well?
I hope you can have the ability to add more surrounds in the near future. I currently have the Sonos ARC, 2x Sub Gen3's and 2x Sonos 5's. If I can add more please advise?
Hi Did you ever re do your sonos arc settings from your original video on them, I find over time the sonos arc sound has changed slightly, mine is not as bright as it was when I first got it.
Peter is there any way to increase the left and right chanel of the arc?Thank you
It would also be nice if Sonos released a Wireless in ceiling speaker. Wired in ceiling speakers from a wireless speaker company... seriously come on Sonos! But I totally agree Peter a way to set physical Atmos speakers would be a great step forward.
I have a question about the Sonos Arc connection with Sonos 5. Actually currently I have sonos 5 (Single, not stero pair) and I placed an order for ARC. my question is, Sonos ARC can be connected with sonos 5 (single)? (Not a stereo units as left and right. more likely to send the sound the dead zone area. ) Eventually I would be sonos five 5 later to make a pair but just in the meantime I want to use Arc and one sonos 5. Will it be possible?
Yay... Since yesterday Sonos 13.1 update. I can get the difference in height channel by using the same dolby test tone demo, the Amaze Dolby Demo clip and even some Netflix Atmos movies.
You're really quick on sharing this update. I guess 1st in RUclips. Thumb up for the good work 👍
A question for u. How to play a 4k movie with Dolby True HD + Atmos audio, if an Android TV owner (with Earc) don't have Nvidia Shield nor Blueray player? 😀
Excuse my writing, I don't know English. With this update, do we have to rule out the inclination in my sonos arc said in previous videos? Thank you very much Peter, greetings from Argentina
What movie and at what location in the movie are people testing this new atmos setting at?
Hi Peter. Sorry to say but the link for the surround Atmos file no longer exists and I am struggling to find it online! Do you or anyone reading this comment able to share another copy of the file please?
Do you only see the surround sound audio option after you run true play? I'm using Android and I don't see the surround sound option.
Is it also possible to test this with only a HDMI arc interface? Or must it be a e arc?
So should we retune again ? Now w this update ? Without doing all things u once showed us to do . Changing the way u change the phone for it and adjusting the tilt ?
If you are using the HDfury Arcana then don’t update to this Sonos 13.1 version yet. There are some audio issues with this version. Just wait a little while until HFfury fix the problem.
YES Peter we need top speakers to make this system more awesome than what it is.
I am just waiting for them to announce that they are supporting the Amp for ceiling speakers... That is why I am still keeping the Amp around.
Hi Peter, on my screen it doesn’t show Dolby atmos like it does on your screen. It showed Dolby digital 2.0. I have a Sony A8H oled. Is that because my tv doesn’t support Dolby atmos?
Do you have a copy of the test program as the link doesn’t work?
Im not seeing those screens on the app. I' using same app, where do i find those settings ?
I’ve updated the app but not seeing the height setting?
Dear master Peter, Please do a video for below scenario👇
I have Sonos Arc, One SL pair as rear surround & Sonos sub. Its give me 5.1.2 HT experience for Atmos enabled movies. But when listening songs, I only need 2.1 channels. Since Sonos is versatile & modular concept, I have 2 options to play 2.1 channels. First option is Arc+Sub, second option is 2xOneSL+sub. I want to know which option give better sound staging & better sound quality for music/song.
Need your technical advise...
Just came across this video in my feed and tried to click on the link, and it no longer works. Any chance you have a different link or another suggestion?
i would love to be able to change individual surround speaker volume
Try with the sonos arc only? Thanks for a great video 🤟
Like always Great content! My atmos is a lot better now have it at +5 👍, you are speaking about your preferred functions for sonos products. I have one that I think should have been a day one feature. You should be able to change the EQ settings for each format. I love my movies with lost of booming bass but my with my music I don’t like that. So every day I am changing the settings, you think they will implement this any time soon? Keep up the great work💪🏼👍
Denk 't niet, maar dit zou wel erg fijn zijn. Must have zelfs.
Hey Peter, you are doing a wonderful work here, with Apple Music announcing going serious with high quality contents next month would you like to consider a video on the high expectations this is generating on Sonos ecosystem users ? Can we expect a high compatibility and performance on this contents on sonos equipments from day one.?
I think all we need now is to be able to add 2 more additional sonos ones or 5s to the 2 that you can already have in the set up. There’s some small features here and there i would like, but adding more sonos ones would be awesome.
Especially if those two are configured to the rear heights channel.... Bliss.
Hi Peter, your direct link to the file is bringing up a 404 error?
Thanks for the vid! Just curious - is your system not running TruePlay here? I noticed you were able to adjust the distance of the surrounds.
I've noticed if you switch off trueplay you can change The adjustment distance of The surrounds, then switch trueplay back on again it shows The new settings. But iam not sure if it really changes anything. Try it out and let me know 🙂
@@lizannakarlsson2736 it doesn't change anything, because when true play is on the true play determines how far the speakers are from you. When you turn true play off it activates so you can adjust yourself.
Yes we need more speakers to add 🔈 🔊 preferably in the amp for hight channels
Just buy a regular receiver..added bonus you won't be limited by sound formats. Then add a port if you feel that need.
Hey Peter, thanks for the video update. Was wondering , if u have a projector that does not support EARC (HDMI 2.1) , but have an APPLE TV 4K that’s does, would it still be able to play Dolby ATMOS on the Sonos arc ? Thanks
I have this exact setup working well - you need a HD Fury Arcana to make it work correctly.
@@la12sportsimages46 wow, didn’t know this existed. A bit pricy at 200 USD. Will check it, thanks
@@whennn Pricey but works great - no TV or PJ upgrade needed, I get Atmos on Disney/Netflix and Prime and feed a 1080 PJ and a Plasma with no issues.
If Sonos would just develop Sonos plays with upward firing speakers, we would be in great position paired with an arc :) Please sonos! everyone else does it but your adhoc network is better than everyone elses
Need to do a a new full video now with complete new settings haha. Has anyone re-ran trueplay to see if it auto adjust the height channel or whether it just stays on 0 as default?
It will default to zero like bass, treble, surround level etc
peter, you do great video`s, BUT when trying to show viewers how to get into the SETTINGS to alter the arc sound you need to "s l o w down", i`ve been trying to do this mod for 1/2 an hour now and i just can`t follow you, i can`t even locate the "surround audio" page ?
ps, i`m in the uk, i don`t know if that makes any difference ???
It’s one of the pages in the room you select where you have those speakers. Then click surround sound.
Hi are 2 sidewalls absolutely essential for the soundbar to work?
Well it helps to bounce the surround sound around. But because the side drivers on the arc are mounted 90 degrees off to the sides already you will get a wide stage already. So good to go!
What a fantastic channel with such simple explanations to complex situations! Thank you, Peter, for your excellent review. I am about to buy the SONOS Arc but have read comments that there are lip sync issues with LG TVs. Mine is the OLED65B9PTA. Do you have any advice on this?
I'm having none with my lg oled!!!
@@Rohank05 Thanks Rk. Reassuring to know before spending many $$$ on the soundbar.
@@winstondas you'll be amazed how good it sounds!!!Add sub to it and I'm sure u will be blown away!!Dolby atmos sounds spectacular
Any thoughts on how this factors into your height/distance from sitting position for Atmos effect?
Great question. I was about to see if anyone asked before I posted. Hopefully we’ll get an answer.
@@TylerTron21 oh yeah, great content. Wondering how this plays into that. I wonder if the height channels being louder effects how they reflect and give the simulated Atmos effect
It would be great if they gave users more control over wifi too, eg leave enabled for dependent devices (eg arc and sub) but disable Sonosnet. Not everyone wants to add another 2.4ghz channel to their house. My only option is to disconnect Ethernet from arc which doesn’t make much sense.
The Atmos sounds so much better now, I have it on +6 now
Same here bro. +6 was the best for me
I just got the Arc today, +6 is for what height ceiling? Mine are pretty standard, would +6 be ok for me?
@@bkmoney72 my ceiling is 2.55mtr (8ft?)
@@blaat1982 I have same ceiling height, how high is your arc? Mine is approx halfway, I'm yet to notice much difference in the settings when I change them
@@ComicalMusic I think it’s aprox 60cm high of the ground I estimate…
Hi sifu, Sony hv launched two new wireless audio system, Sony HT-A9 (new design & new way of HT) & Sony HT-A7000 soundbar. The A7000 soundbar is expandable with sub & rear surround as Sonos Arc. Can u review this speakers...?
Hopefully they really do listen because dts and dtsX could be a dream if they ever brought it out for the arc
They haven't listen yet so I won't hold my breath on this. I think it comes down to them and cost to support those formats. That in itself would dip into company profit.
I can’t access the file I receive a page could not be found?
You mean this one: www.peterpee.com/demo
by increasing the height audio, does that make angling the back of the sonos arc not necessary now?
Volume and direction are different. You’ll still angle it but if it’s too soft you then increase the heights volume. I don’t like increasing the heights channel too much as it will distort the sound imaging.
@@PeterPee awesome thank you!
I missed this video , messing with arc this weekend to watch Batman movie
What is the best movie/scene to play, and really get a VERY DISTINCT Atmos effect???
I've ask this to ( not just here) and no one answers...seems to be an illusion buy those that say they hear a difference. Placebo effect I guess.
On netflix watch the first episode season 2 of Love death + robots The end scène are small drones flying over top of your head that you can really here the Atmos effect!!
13.1.1 just released, though no release noes as yet.
Im on Android and version 13.1 and do not have that option....
Disregard my comment...I needed to update my speakers...
I hoping that sonos will add centre channel adjust for the arc. The centre channel currently is a joke for hearing dialogue despite having speech enhancement ON!🙏
When it comes to home theater many spend a little more money on the center channel because it is solely used for dialogue. I don't see that in Sonos. The Sonos Matrix list the arc as LR so I think the C is an illusion.
Entonces el audio de altura lo dejo en +10 o 0?
It really depends on what your preference is, and your environment. If you want a little more pronounced heights effect, increase it to your liking.
Can you tell us an actually Movie ( maybe Netflix) when it sounds like the helicopter or jet is actually flying over head so we can test a height channels. Or maybe someone else can comment on this with a movie. Just curious then the ceiling height , the distance the couch is away from the arc ( listening position) , the height off the floor the arc is. I think it is all science because of the dependency of the bounce. Thanks Also it is way easier for me to pull speaker wires for height channels than it is to get an electrician in to wire the heights above. May as well switch back to a receiver if I go that route. Also I would not ever be limited then to sound formats as I am with Sonos. Lastely they should allow the center channel to be adjusted. Most people that have home theaters also spend more on teh center channel since that is where dialogue comes from. It's funny sonos in the matric list the arc as LF ( not arc) and no C. Lastly lets not forget many people have this in a living room and not a dedicated room. Sonos theater should never be in a dedicated room if you want awesome sound period without sound format limits. No offence people. Don't misinterrupt what I am saying as I enjoy my Sonos gear.
They need update manual adjustable dialogue. Current dialogue still too soft with enhancement.
Ambeo all the way ❤️. Sonos guys keep changing setting and wondering why it's not coming 😂.
Sonos just needs Dolby atmos surrounds. People will pay idk why it’s not a thing.
I'd be happy with 7.2.2 no reason not to add sides they could sell more speakers
So you hiring an electrician for those extra speakers? Much easier to pull regular speaker wires.
@@justinbrowns1945 umm all I'm asking for is 2 side speakers don't need and electrician to run to power cords on sides of room. All my houses have power on all 4 walls.
PLEASE DO NOT UPDATE TO 13.1 IF YOU ARE USING HDFURY ARCANA.
Why?
This guy combined arc with ceiling front and rears: ruclips.net/video/cUUyOMRvsiI/видео.html
Peter are you on payroll with Sonos. One additional comment when Sonos came out with the ARC back in June 2020 Sonos laid off 150 plus employees. Move on from Sonos over rated product.
Frankly, I'd rather see Sonos implement Atmos in the rears before implementing discreet for the fronts - a Sonos One with an upward firing speaker shouldn't be that great an ask... mind you, then I'd have to replace my 5's as rears with a pair of 1's, which would hurt me as I love the 5's.
Then imagine great music in another room with those fives
