Room correction

[thumb5]

A little off-topic, but if my experience with Trueplay is typical, Sonos have done a remarkable job with it.

I have a Play:1 (their smallest self-powered speaker) which sits right up against a wall in my dining room.  I've always thought it sounded OK, given what it is, but couldn't get the EQ to give me anything like a reasonably flat-sounding response.  With the latest software installed, the Trueplay set-up involves spending about a minute walking round the room running the calibration program on an iPhone while the speaker plays some test tones.  That has completely transformed the sound quality, which is now surprisingly natural for such a small speaker.

So it can be done without fancy measuring gear or a complicated process - the user really needs no technical knowledge at all to get good results.  Of course I have no idea how much software development effort was required to get to this point, nor how much run-time DSP capacity it's using, but I'd have thought it was well within Devialet's capabilities to do something similar.
