This is a restaurant and

I need 2~3 of physical sound source (TV, Jukebox, Music Plyer) and 3 different Zone.

I wanna use 3 of PORTs and connect each source to each PORT (rca input)

My Qestions are

Q1

Can I send the sound of source 1(in PORT 1) to other two PORTs?

of course, Can I share the sound source 2(in PORT 2) with other PORT1 and PORT3 ?

Q2

Can we share one sonos account with many person’s phone?

Q3. We have old sonos connect. can we use with PORT in the same app and share those sound source each other?

First off, the line-in on a Port is delayed by 75ms in order to buffer it for multi-room use. If the TV, jukebox or music player have their own speakers playing, the sound out of the Ports is going to lag behind. This can cause echos and lip sync problems. With that out of the way:

Q1 - Yes

Q2 -Yes, that is the only way it works.

Q3 - Only if the Connect is Gen 2
