r/SonoSequencr

Hi everyone, I just converted to sonosequencr with 4 era 100, arc ultra and sub 3, and sub mini.

While I agree that the sound stage is getting bigger and I did do trueplay as instructed by the sonosequencr.

I found it like the whole system created bubble effect (great), but it becomes echo when the centre system Ultra sounds suppression and tiny, compared to both front speakers.

Is there anything I can do to set it up to balance? I feel like more echo when watching YouTube.

My step by step:

I did true play separately for Ultra, rear, and sub 3, then ungroup them. Same as stereo speakers without adding sub mini.

After ungrouping them all then I went to sonosequencr to add front, rear, and sub and submini. I then created two sequences with 1 for Ultra group and 1 for stereo front with true play turn-on.

I think that Sonos would knock it out of the park big-time if they released their next Arc soundbar with an HDMI input pass through, Support for all audio formats lossless etc. A small remote for times you need to control your night mode, dialogue etc. while charging your phone that might not be next to you. As for the beam, it would be nice it it had Atmos up firing speakers. And the next era 100s or 200s or whatever they will call them, could have up firing speakers to pair with a beam, and the ability to add 2 sub mini’s to your system. No Sonos sequencer. What would you like to see in the new sound bar lineup and speaker lineup when and if they do come out, this includes any app functions that you would like added. Would love to hear your thoughts🥂

I have Era 100SL as front and Era 300 as surround and Sub 3 and original Arc as a setup.
My question is how far apart the left and right speakers should be from the sound bar or total dista between them. Same goes for rare channel.
I am asking because i recently increased the distance between the front speakers and it sounds a bit better now. I am thinking of doing the same with rare but they are screwed to the wall so i am asking you guys here first before i drill more holes

That’s a make or break for me

I think I am running up against a limitation of the technology. But just to make sure:

I have a Sonos PlayBar for my center, and have been happy adding two Play 1's for the L and R with the SS app.

I the added Surrounds (two more Play 1s) with the SS app. They are waaaay too loud. (They are one foot behind me.)

So I nuked that setup, and set up the Play Bar and Surround via the Sonos S1 app. It got the volume right for the surrounds. Balanced with the Play Bar, and the right volume for how close they are. Yeah!

But I still want to add L and R speakers.

So then I tried to add a L and R (front) speakers via the SS app. But it wants me to delete the Surrounds, first.

Well, if I do that, and then add them back via the SS app, they are again too loud.

I don't think there is a way to finesse this in the system. If I want to add L and R up front, I can only add Surrounds via the SS app, and lose out on the volume balancing that the Sonos app does when setting up surround speakers, right?

I am hoping I am wrong! Advice?
