What kind of signal is being sent to the first generation CONNECT? It’s entirely possible, that device being old, in tech years, that the CONNECT’s line in has failed, have you submitted a system diagnostic, and called Sonos Support to discuss it? But don’t post the resulting diagnostic number here, they get sensitive about GDPR.

There may be information included in the diagnostic that will help Sonos pinpoint the issue and help you find a solution.

When you speak directly to the Support staff, they have tools at their disposal that will allow them to give you advice specific to your network and Sonos system.

As an aside, you’re aware of the minimum of the 75ms delay on the line in, correct? It would certainly make the use of any Sonos in a DJ setup a challenge.

 yes i spoke to someone today … this is what the said but it a bit confussing to me 

 

The correct connection in the case we discussed about on the phone would be Connect LINE OUT to the amplifier's LINE IN.
If you have something that sends audio signal, then the connection is from that receiver's (turntable) LINE out to Connect LINE IN.
The turntable from THE RCA from PHONO OUT (switch if there's any must be set to phono) to PHONO IN and then from PHONO OUT to IN on the Connect.
Some turntables have a switch for phono and line out, if there's an external phono preamp then we must have the turntable set to Phono.

That seems relatively clear to me. Line out to line in. The line in to the Sonos needs to be line level (pre-amped).  Where are you confused?

The turntables should be connected to the mixer, line out from the turntables to line in on the mixer. Get that working. 

Then a line level (something you’d feed to a tape deck) output from the mixer would connect to the line in on the Sonos CONNECT.

Note, you don’t want to use a variable output from the mixer, it really needs to be a line level signal. If you use a variable output from the mixer, like a headphone or speaker output, you’ll run in to lots of issues.

You’ll still run in to that minimum of 75ms delay on the line in on the CONNECT (or on any analog line in on any Sonos device).

Is English your native tongue?
