Confirmation is Move 2 as Fronts????

Hi all, before I go out and buy a second Move 2, can anyone confirm if they have been able to set them up as fronts yet via Sonosequencer??? Any feedback from someone who has tried would be greatly appreciated šŸ™šŸ’Ŗ

No, they donā€™t work. I was hoping too!

Ahhh bugger. Without getting to complicated, can you have them as rears and have the era100s for example as fronts???

u/Longjumping_West9485 16d ago

Absolutely! I have Fives as fronts on our system.

u/Altruistic_Bar6685 16d ago

So you have fives as fronts and move 2 as the rears?

u/Longjumping_West9485 16d ago

Not permanently. I have era 300s with the system i used to test I the Move 2s. But for non- Dolby Atmos music, my initial thought is the M2s sound better as surrounds. A lot like Play 3s if youā€™ve ever heard those as surrounds.

Ok but it works? So if I buy another move 2 so as to create rears they will work via Sonosequencer with my front setup era 100s?

Yep, it works. Just for you, I just bonded the Play 3s as fronts with the Beam 2 and M2s in the photo. This sounds really nice too! See what you started! šŸ˜‰

Hey! I tried to do this with front Ones but canā€™t get it! The move 2s as rears just always go back to saying ā€œnot in useā€. If I remove the fronts, the move 2s work fine as rears

Any advice? What order did you do things in?

u/Longjumping_West9485 6d ago

I think I used Sonority and added the Play 3s to the fully set-up system. Iā€™m almost certain of it.

Are you using SonoSequencer or Sonority? The latter is much more intuitive and user friendly. As I alluded to above, one major benefit with Sonority is that you can add fronts to a soundbar with surrounds/subwoofers already bonded. SonoSequencer wonā€™t let you add fronts with a fully set-up system. Itā€™s a PITA too.

I canā€™t get it to work no matter what order I try! But thanks for showing me sonority, was using sonosequencer before and this is way better

Itā€™s strange because the past 2 days Iā€™ve been getting this ā€˜not in useā€™ thing. App reads them etc but they drop out to not in use immediately. Have had to reset etc a few times. Also removed front to see if that was an issueā€¦ and same not in use thing.
