Whenever I publish a video about a standmount loudspeaker, emails about subwoofers are never far behind. Previous experience with Bluetooth headphones tells me that the latency needs to fall below 40ms for me not to notice any lip-sync delay.ĭespite this Sonos oversight being the first formal correction required since starting pro-shot video in 2018, missing the app’s latency settings is an embarrassing oversight and suggests that I might need to inject more breathing room between finalising my review notes and scheduling the video shoot.Ģ. I still wouldn’t use the Sonos for Netflix or YouTube viewing. However, 75ms remains slightly too high for yours truly not to be distracted by a small lip-sync lag when watching TV. I found 75ms low enough to erase any noticeable gap between seeing the needle hit the record and hearing the same. Over the weekend, I revisited the analogue’s inputs audible performance with the lowest latency applied. It has been brought to my attention that the Sonos app offers playback zone settings that allow us to step down the DSP delay from 2000ms to 75ms but with a higher risk of dropouts when wifi streaming. In the video, I complained that the Fives’ analogue input and subsequent DSP latency was too long for proper lip-sync or for anyone wanting to hear the needle-drop in real-time when playing a record. What follows are three more thoughts, derived from the three weeks spent with the Fives as my daily driver:ġ. Last week we dug into a pair of Sonos Five, comparing their audible performance to the KEF LSX.
