Hi All,
As we know the Phantoms perform signal processing, this introduces an element of lag to the input signal. Whilst this processing is necessary to the overall presentation of the Phantoms, it gives me two issues:
1. My Sonos Connect that feeds the Phantoms is out of sync with the other Sonos speakers in the house.
2. Any TV/Video I feed into the Phantoms has lip-sync issues.
Now Devialet understandably won't care about issue 1, Sonos owners have been asking for delay controls for a while as the same happens if you plug a Connect into a home cinema amp. 2 however will need some work as Devialet talk about the Phantoms as home cinema speakers on their website as a future feature.
Has anyone had any success with finding workarounds for either issue? I know there are some Sonos users here - do you just leave your Phantoms 'Zone' out of groups with your other Sonos units?
I was looking at a Sonos Playbar today and though I could get one to give the TV more oomph and so that it's still possible to use the Sonos 'Party' mode but this just seems daft given I've got the Phantoms in the same room where a Playbar would live - any ideas?
