Sound Level from Pro-Ject Essential III Turntable Not Loud Enough Using SONOS Connect

I installed my new Pro-Ject Essential III Turntable into my SONOS Sytems using a SONOS Connect box that I had been using with an old stereo. I have the Line-In set up correctly with Line-In Source Level set at the Max of 10. Even with that high setting, the music only gets to a moderate level when playing on my Living Room Playbase and two Play-1 combination with the speakers also set to max volume. It is fine for moderate/casual listening, but not loud enough to “crank it” or use at a party.

Would the Connect-Amp provide more sound? Or, should I switch to Play-3 or Play-5s?

Oh sorry Dan, that will teach me to scroll up the page. Hopefully though the post may help the OP and others to check they have a pre-amp built-in and that it is switched over to line-out.

Thanks, Dan.

As you say, it doesn't specify which turntable is included....but it does say that the turntable "Pro-Ject includes built-in phono preamp", so I'm guessing that the person who bought one at Amazon didn't purchase the same one that is included in the Sonos offer. It's unfortunate that Sonos doesn't have better specificity on which model it is.

It's the Pro-Ject Essentials III Phono. Same one as sold separately.

Understood. Should be called out in the package, was my point.
