Make your Sonos Arc ULTRA sound better with these best settings!

Thank you for being patience for the updated recommended settings for the Sonos Arc Ultra. It's a new soundbar and I needed the time to get familiar with the sound as well as run through literally hundreds of rounds of testing and frequency response sweeps to get them.

Thanks! Your earlier reviews and this detail on the settings definitely helped !!😀

[berndwinkler]

Danke! from Germany. Your videos are a real treat!
You remind me of the years I spent in Singapore from 1980 to 2006. I love the dedication to excellence by people there. You are a brilliant example.
Indeed, your settings for the full Sonos equipment make a world of difference. Great!

Thank you Pete you are the best! Happy Holidays and greetings from Costa Rica.

[itzjonjon]

Thanks Peter! Been waiting for these settings.

Thanks Peter. My dog's reaction to the new settings was priceless. She was staring up at the ceiling during "Gravity".

[ArmChairKing]

Thanks for all your work! Why do you recommended trueplay off?

[briancollinson]

thanks for doing this Peter👍Just installed my arc ultra, wow what a difference to the Arc especially with your settings. Wonderful movies and music in Atmos. Thanks again 👍

[estrat]

Hi Peter! Your suggested settings are So perfect for us...I have no better world than saying....THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH! way better than out if the box = )

[seahalvin]

Thank you Peter. I just got this same system but with Sub Gen 3. Going to try this settings.

[jkeenanrball]

Pete, thanks so much for sharing your expertise. Set up Arc Ultra, Gen 3 and Gen 4 subs, in ceiling Sonance surrounds. 13 ft ceilings, large room. Any suggestions other than running Trueplay?

[danaltick]

Peter, I would really like to know if you have actually compared a non-Trueplayed flattened response curve (i.e. your best settings) to a Trueplayed flattened response curve (i.e. another set of best settings) to see if you can hear a difference. This would be an apples to apples comparison removing the frequency response and now comparing just the Trueplayed dome of surround sound and any difference in phase response at the MLP to the non-Trueplayed version.

Great info, cheers. I’ll give it a try on my Sonos system.

[danaltick]

"Thank you Pete!" Your videos are always the best!
Have a few quick questions:
- Given Sub3 has slightly less bass than the Sub4 (thanks for your video on that) would you still recommend -1 for it?
- My new theater room is ~11x11x8 acoustically sound, but yet conducive to Sonos sound-bounce. I have the Arc Ultra, 2xEra300, and Sub Gen3. Trueplay at least for me does sound fuller, but is it changing the signature (i.e. less flat)?
Thanks so much, Dan

Could we get Arc Ultra & Sub Mini settings in the future?

[arikononen]

Hi! Great content again Peter! For excited folks here, remember bass/treble settings and channel (surround) levels are completely room and placement dependant. Some rooms speaker/sub placements require way more boosts or cuts. Every room has different optimal room curve.

THANK YOU BETE!

Actually, I don’t have Sonos Arc Ultra, Sub Gen 4, and Era 300, but you helped me a lot especially by emails with my system Sonos Arc, Sub Gen 3, and surround One SL. What I have is enough and a great system for long time. My wife told me one day why I bought Sonos and there a lot of home theater such as Samsung, Sony, LG, and Bose, I told her because of Peter Pee while we don’t have here Sonos Center. I ordered it from United States when my nephew was studying there and he sent it to me here in Middle East. Just I am afraid about new update that it is probably I need to change the settings and with the new update I still keep the same settings that you recommended it.
You are doing a great job and always keep up the good job.
Sonos has to hire you, because no one works in Sonos will do the job you are doing now and help a lot of Sonos lovers.

THANK YOU BETE!

[luisabellon]

Amazing! What a difference these changes make!
I was listening to Hauser.

I have Arc Ultra + sub 4 + Era 300 surround.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and making it simple for the rest of us.

[danaltick]

@PeterPee It would be nice to see what Trueplay's frequency response looks like for your room to see if it is still bumping up the bass and trimming down the treble. I would also expect True play to phase shift so that all frequencies hit the main listening position at the same time.

[MrSuperlollo]

@peter pee how can you not notice that since the latest firmware update the era 300s are broken??? The inward tweeter, the one dedicated to the rear channel, is completely silent during atmos and 7.1 content (even test files and trueplay lol)

Let’s get this to media attention please

[gmzatx]

The arc ultra stand-alone settings are perfect. 👌🏽 thanks for the recommendation 💯
