True play™
True play puts professional-grade tuning in the palm of your hands. Using the microphone on your iOS device (running iOS 8 or later), True play measures the unique acoustics of your space, then optimises the EQ so the bass never sounds muddy, harsh, or flat.
- Select > System, and pick the room you want to tune.
- Choose True play Tuning. During tuning you’ll move around the room holding your mobile device.
Note: True play tuning isn’t available if Voice Over is enabled on your iOS device. Turn Voice Over off in your device settings before tuning your speakers.
Change speaker pairing
You can easily change the Son’s product Sub Mini was paired with during setup.
Sub Mini is compatible with most amplified Son’s products running S2 software. It’s recommended for use with Beam, Ray, One, One SL, and Symphonic products. Learn more
- If you move Sub Mini to a new room, plug it back in and wait for the status light to stop flashing.
- Go to > System and choose the Son’s product Sub Mini is paired with.
- Tap Remove Sub , then pair Sub Mini with a different Son’s product.
Note: When Sub Mini is paired with a Son’s speaker, you won’t see it displayed separately in your system. Any changes you make to that speaker, like volume, mute, or music selection, will also affect Sub Mini.
