How do I setup sonos with my turntable system?

I bought sonos so I could set it up with my turntables and mixer system, doing away with my wired speakers and offering more flexibility. So far though I haven't had any joy in getting this correct. I did phone in a couple of weeks ago, but I didn't hear back. I have two technics 1210's connected to an Allen and Heath mixer which is then connected to a Cambridge Audio amp, which was then connected to two speakers. I have a Sonos Bridge, Sonos Connect and a play 5. If someone can help with instructions/diagrams on how this should be set up I would be delighted.

Ok Sonos bridge is used to connect your system to your home network. Use Ethernet cable to connect to your home network and plug the bridge in. Now you need to connect your Sonos Connect to your Mixer. Connect the RCA (red/white) input on the Sonos connect to one of the RCA (red/white) XLR Mix outputs on your mixer. Optional: You can also hook the Sonos Connect output to one of the Line Inputs on your mixer. You could then mix any music you play on your Sonos into your system (so you could then input digital music in addition to your 2 turntable sources). Now you want to play your output from the mixer to your Play 5. In the controller application select the Play 5 zone. In the Music Menu on the right go down to where you see Line In. Under Line in you should see your Sonos Connect. Selecting that will the play your Mixer output to your Play 5. Same thing applies to any other Sonos speakers you want to add to your system.

The thread below may also be relevant to your situation. Worth checking out anyway.

The most practical way to cope with the delay issue would be to use the split-cue on your headphones. It's useful to learn the skill for less ideal club settings as well.

I'm not sure what that reply was answering on this year old thread.
