![]() ![]() If you are on Android or Windows and have no Apple devices in your house, you'll need to invite an iOS buddy round and ask to borrow their device for a few minutes to get Trueplay setup on most Sonos devices. It can be an iPad, iPhone or an iPod Touch and you only need it for those couple of minutes we mentioned earlier to do the setup. Sonos Trueplay requires an Apple device that runs on iOS 7 and above. If you want to access Trueplay for a particular speaker, open the Sonos app > Tap on the Settings tab in the bottom right corner > Tap on System > Tap on the speaker you want to tune > Select Trueplay under the Sound section > Tap on Trueplay Tuning > Tap on Continue and follow the instructions. For those using Quick tuning on the Era 100 or Era 300, you simply need to select the Quick tuning option and then make sure the room is quiet while the sounds are emitted. Those with a Sonos Move or Sonos Roam just need to put the speaker down where they want it and Trueplay will happen without you touching anything, whether that's in your house or a public park. We've got a feature on how to tune your existing Sonos speaker with Trueplay to make it sound better that you can read if you want to know what is expected of you. Even in a power cut, the speaker will remember the room configuration. It takes 45 seconds to do the actual tuning bit if you do it right and you won't need to do it again unless you move the speaker into a different room or change its orientation. For the Era 100 and Era 300, the Quick tuning option allows those without an iOS device to rely on the built-in microphones within the Era speakers in order to tune them to the room, though it isn't as precise as the Advanced tuning option as we said so keep that in mind. ![]() This information is then used to create an acoustic profile of your room by recording how loud various frequencies sound as you move around. ![]() The microphone in your iOS device - Android devices are not supported for main Trueplay tuning - detects how these sounds react to the room you are in by measuring how the sound waves reflect off the walls, furnishings, glass and other surfaces, while for the Sonos Move and Sonos Roam, the built-in microphone array takes care of this part. These sounds are made up of three properties - brown noise, pulse sounds that allow for echoes and a sweep of frequencies. For the Era 100 and Era 300 using the Quick tuning option, it's also around 30 seconds from start to finish, with the same test sounds emitted as standard Trueplay tuning offers but for a shorter period of time.įor standard Trueplay tuning, the Sonos app will prompt you to start tuning and after following the steps, it will eventually emit a series of test sounds. For the Sonos Move and Roam, it takes around 30 seconds to automatically make any required adjustments and this will work over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, as we mentioned. The following steps will teach you how to weatherstrip a door to keep cold drafts from entering your home.Unlike other tuning processes though, Trueplay tuning on all Sonos speakers (apart from the Sonos Move and Sonos Roam) and Advanced tuning on the Era 100 and Era 300, takes three minutes and it's very simple and easy. Silicone makes an ideal weatherstripping because it’s durable, soft, and has no “compression memory” it remains tight as the door swells and shrinks. Tom prefers a weather seal system that includes a tubular silicone weatherstripping that fits against the doorstop and a twin-fin silicone sweep that fits beneath the door. Hardware stores and home centers sell an array of metal, foam, felt, and plastic products for this purpose. How Do You Seal a Gap in a Door?Īny well-sealed door requires two components: weatherstripping, which covers the sides and top of the door, and a sweep, which fills the space between the threshold and the door bottom. And when you consider that even a tiny 1/8-inch gap around a typical entryway door is the equivalent of drilling a 5 ½-inch-diameter hole through an outside wall, closing that gap is well worth the effort. ![]() It costs approximately $100 for materials and labor to seal a door. Fortunately, attaching new weather seals is a straightforward exercise, far cheaper and faster than installing a new door. Unfortunately, a door’s weather seals, if it has any at all, can rip, compress, bend, or wear out over time, leaving chilly winter air free to enter (or expensive air-conditioned air to leave). ![]()
