Connecting bluetooth turntable to Sonos Move and whole system

Hello,

 

I know there might be a way to do it, but I haven’t figured it out yet.

 

I have a Audio Technica bluetooth turntable that I play on my Sonos Move. I have a whole Sonos system in my house (Beam, Sub Mini, 3x Ikea, etc.).

 

I wonder if there is a way to play the turntable everywhere ?

 

Thank you

Unfortunately the Move isn’t capable of sharing Bluetooth audio to the other Sonos speakers in your system. The Move 2, Roam, Roam SL, Era 100, and Era 300 have this feature though:

Hello,

 

Thank you for your reply.

 

Since my plan is to play my turntable in my whole system, I believe the audio device doesn’t really matter ? Meaning that I can take the Roam only has the bluetooth device ? No need of a big speaker at this point…

The Roam SL would be the least expensive Bluetooth option. But if you want a more reliable connection, consider getting an Era 100 and connect the turntable via line-in using the Sonos Line-In Adapter.

Thank you once again

 

So to confirm:

 

  • I buy a Sonos Roam SL
  • I can connect my audio technica bluetooth to the Roam SL
  • Than group with all my other speakers in my house, including the sub mini

 

Correct ?

You might be better off using a wired connection to play to all your rooms - see the below information which might give you some things to think about…

Although Bluetooth and Line-in audio both work, I would personally choose to use a ‘line-level’ connection, between TT and a Sonos speaker, rather than Bluetooth wireless. Or maybe have the option to use both. Here are the Sonos devices that work with a line-level connection and/or Bluetooth Rx:

  • Port/Connect (no BT Rx)
  • Amp/Connect:Amp (no BT Rx)**
  • Five/Play:5 (gen2) (no BT Rx)**
  • Era-100 (has BT Rx) (requires additional dongle)**
  • Era-300 (has BT Rx) (requires additional dongle)**
  • Sonos Move 2 (has BT Rx) (requires additional dongle)
  • Sonos Roam/SL - has no line-in, but has BT Rx only

** Note: If any of the above compatible devices are used as a HT Surround, then their line-in port and Bluetooth Rx both become disabled.

Once the TT is connected it can play to any/all Sonos products.

Here are links to the two Sonos adapters that are currently available to use (if required):

Hello,

 

Thank you for the answer as well.

 

I believe that even if I choose to use a line-in, I will still need to buy a new Sonos device since I only have the Move (not the gen 2). 

 

My plan to buy the Roam SL, less expansive, will be only bluetooth.

Than the Era 100, second less expansive, will give me both options.

 

Correct?

@alexartifice,

Yes, correct, but note you also will need one of the Sonos Dongle's mentioned in order to use the line-in on the Era-100.

I might either buy the Era 100 or Roam SL, I will decide this week.
