Both kinds of tuning start in the same place in the Sonos app.
Run it
Beginner
- Open the Sonos app and go to Settings.
- Choose the room or speaker to tune.
- Under Sound, choose Trueplay, then Trueplay Tuning.
- Choose Advanced tuning or Quick tuning.
- Follow the instructions on screen.
Walking the room for Advanced tuning
- Walk slowly around as much of the room as you can.
- Move the phone smoothly up and down between head height and waist height as you go.
- Don’t talk, and keep footsteps quiet.
- Don’t touch the volume while it’s running.
It takes about three minutes. Quick tuning needs no walking: the speaker does the work.

Home cinema systems
Advanced
- On Arc Ultra, Era 100 and Era 300, Quick tuning covers stereo pairs and full home cinema sets, including sub and surrounds, in one pass.
- Retune after adding or moving a sub or surrounds. Sonos doesn’t force it, but experienced users on the Sonos community advise it, because the tuning depends on where every speaker is.
- Some users reported Advanced tuning failing with Arc Ultra at launch. If it fails, try Quick tuning.
