No, you’d need a Port and a non-Sonos preamp (like https://iear.nl/product/pro-ject-phono-box-e/). Or buy a turntable with a built in preamp, Projekt makes those too.

    Possibly because you need a pre-amp, such as that @106rallye suggested? Or, how have you connected your devices?

    You appreciate that we’re saying a “pre-amp” and not a Sonos “Amp”?

    Phono pre-amps are mostly well under $100, unless you are going super high end.

    On your PORT, make sure that the turntable is connected to PORT’s input terminals. In the dark it’s easy to get them mixed up. Also, make sure that the RCA plugs are fully seated in the input jacks. Some plugs are tightly fitted and users are reluctant to use enough force to fully seat the plugs.

    @Papa Dave From the specs I can find on the SB could already be equipped with a built in preamp. Is there a switch button for line/phono on your turntable? Is it set to line?
