Tune Your Room with Trueplay

devices running iOS 8 or later).
Choose Settings -> Room Settings. Pick a room and tap Trueplay Tuning to get started.
Equalization (EQ)
During the PLAYBASE setup process you were guided through the audio calibration process. If desired, you
can change the sound settings (bass, treble or loudness) for the Sonos PLAYBASE. Bass boosts lower
frequencies, treble boosts higher frequencies, while loudness boosts certain frequencies, including bass, to
improve the sound at low volume.
Any manual EQ changes you make will be reset whenever you go through the audio recalibration process (go
to
Recalibrate the audio for more information).
