Hello, I have just bought a nice home cinema with Sonos Beam, Sub, and 2 One . I would like to add a Turntable that could connect easily (in Wifi or Bluetooth) and I’m looking for a high quality product. What are the products fully compatible with my homecinema? I already understand that I need a turntable with pre amp. Looking forward t oget your recommandations. Eric

Hi,I want to connect my Lp-player with cables to a Connect Amp Gen 2 (which I have to buy). Will this work together with my two Play1 and one Play3 speakers? Also when I want to add new type os sonos speakers in the future?Thanks for your input! Kr, Bas

I can’t reactivate the Sonos rradio

Hi.I have an old Thorens TD 150 MkII Turntable and would like to connect it to two Sonos Play:5 (Get 2) speaks (and a Gen 3 sub).As the turntable has no preamp, I’ll need one. And I wondered if anyone could recommend something that would definitely work (available in the UK)?Also, I’d be interested to know from anyone that connected a vintage turntable what the sound quality was like?Thanks

I am trying to help my mother figure out how to connect her turntable to her Sonos Arc.  I am not a Sonos person myself and am not too familiar with the platform.   Her Arc is connected to surround speakers and a sub woofer.  She want to be able to listen to her old records nice and loud on the surround system and with lots of bass! But, I’m not sure this is possible based on the other posts I’ve read.   I was thinking of getting the port and connecting the turntable (with an external preamp) to the port. Some posts seem to be saying that the line-in on the  port will not allow her to play records through the full surround and other posts I’ve read said you just need to create a new speaker group in order to get the turntable to play through the arc and the surround system.  Could  another option be to connect a turntable to the Era 100 and then group that speaker with the Arc? Would that get the turntable to play through the full surround sound system?Thanks for the help!

I have a dedicated Turntable set up in which my turnatable is connected to a recevier and I want to be able to stream the musoic to a remote room.I am thinking of using the Sonos port and Era 3 speaker. Looking for feedback on how to get this done. The only input on the Port is via RCA jacks as the Optical is output only Hoping this will work. I appreciate any advice and feedback 

I’m using a pair of Era 100 speakers in my home office and decided to connect them to my laptop/docking station using the Sonos line-in to USB-C adapter. While both speakers are playing audio, the one not connected via line-in keeps losing sound every few seconds before coming back, almost like it’s cutting out.Interestingly, this issue doesn’t occur when I use other inputs like AirPlay or stream wirelessly from the Sonos app. It seems to be a line-in specific problem.  

The power amplifier has stopped outputting sound. all other aspects (front end; WiFi, etc. are still working.  Inside on the main card I found the main amp power supply is supposed to be 36v. In my case it is only 17v. All low volt supplies are present and correct. Has anyone else experienced low supply volts and what did they do to fix it. Can’t find any broken diodes on the board. Does anyone have a circuit diagram?? BR Pete D.

Hi, I have a single story double-fronted weatherboard in Melbourne, Australia that is being extended, restored and built next year and currently planning placement of in-ceiling sonos speakers by sonance and would love guidance and advice on optimal size (6” or 8”) and placement for both 2 x bathroom areas (Bath 1/W.I.R and Bath 2/Laundry) and then open plan living (TV), dining and kitchen area.For the living (TV) area I plan to have Sonos Arc Ultra, Sub 4, and currently 2 x 8” in-ceiling as rears, but thinking it would make sense to have a 2nd pair of 8” in-ceiling more for the dining/kitchen area and for music. The bench that goes from the kitchen through to the dining will have a turntable and was thinking an Era 300… is this too much? or?In the bathrooms, I thought 6” but maybe 8” would be better and in non stereo? unsure on exact placement or how close could have to shower…Bath 1 is 2.9m - could have speaker in/near showerBath 2/Laundry is 2.9m but then there is a skylight above t

Attempting to update network settings. Being asked for an 8 digit pinConnect amp categorically does not have an 8 digit pin printed either on underside or back. Stuck! Moderator Note - Recorded and removed serial number.

Like many others, I have had issues with the new Sonos skipping songs and stopping play altogether. The answers given on this forum don’t appear to have fixed the issues, at least in my case, but I finally tried something that seems to have helped the issue. I post it here since it seems all the forum questions regarding this issue have been closed.My network has a Linksys router, with a Beam located 3 feet from the router (wireless connection), and two remote speakers located 10-15 feet from the router, so signal strength is very strong. Re-booting everything did not help. Finally, I logged into the router and found the Sonos device on the network. The Linksys router I have allows up to three network devices to be give higher priority, so I gave the Sonos device high priority on the network, and the skipping is improved, but not totally eliminated. It’s barely usable at this point.So I agee that the song skipping issue is network related, but something needs to be done in the new Sono

I have a single Sonos Connect Gen 2 in my setup. It is connected via Ethernet, and WiFi was previously deactivated. After encountering sound issues, I decided to reinstall the system. I deleted the Sonos app, reinstalled it, and performed a factory reset on the Connect.The Sonos app finds the system and prompts me to press the pause button. After doing so, I get an error message stating that it cannot connect to “”. I tried changing the WiFi name and connecting to a different network, but no wired or WiFi networks are detected.I suspect the Connect's WiFi is still disabled, and the installation process cannot reactivate it. I'm now stuck and unable to complete the setup.Please assist with resolving this issue or provide guidance on re-enabling WiFi to complete the setup process.Thank you.

Hi, Since the ill-fated app update we have lost the ability to alter the Amp's speaker balance. An astounding omission for a supposedly high-end audio product.I used this every day as my dining table is close to one speaker so I would adjust the balance then set it back when listening from the sofa. What is the timeline for restoring this basic feature? I can't see it on the trillo board.   

I currently have 4 Sonos (2 pairs) 8inch in-ceiling speakers connected to my AMP. I purchased another pair of 8 inch sonance (Not Sonos/ sonance only) speakers. Will the amp be able to handle this? 

Hey everyone, I'm trying to decide placement of the Sonos by Sonance Architectural speakers for my patio. Since I'm an audio novice, trying to see if anyone could offer advice for speaker placement.Attached is the layout of the patio (brown) and yard (light green). The black areas are where the house is located. The numbers are roughly the dimensions (in feet) of the yard.There are three potential speaker locations in red, green, and blue circles. What two speaker positions out of the three would work best for coverage of the patio and yard?Thank you!  

Hi I’ve a Keff 400b Sub. it’s a expensive sub.  Part of my old system. I’ve moved over to Sonos.

Second hand ) but it’s saying This product is only compatible with the SonosS1 Controller.

Hi all. I recently bought a turntable (Project debut carbon evo) which is connected to a pair of fives via a RCA to 3.5mm cable. It’s my first turntable so very new and still learning (more complicated than I imagined). The turntable is connected via an external pre-amp (Pro-Ject Phono Box E Phono Pre Amplifier) As soon as I select ‘line in’ as the source in the Sonos app I get what I would describe as static/white noise from the right speaker connected to the line in. I do not get this from the wireless speaker. Sound quality is still generally good on playback but having heard it, it’s bugging me and it must be impairing the sound quality.  Is this normal? If not any suggestions on how to resolve? The turntable and amp are grounded and I’ve checked all connections are secure etc.  thanks 

Good evening,I am having a strange issue where I have 16 SONOS Port that do not get a an address from the DHCP Server. The issue occurs if I connect the devices to the ISP modem and also if I connect them to a SonicWall TZ670. However the DHCP assignment process works fine if I connect the Sonos devices to an old TZ300.On the packet capture from the firewall I can see how the DHCP process which is supposed to be Discover-Offer-Request-ACK is being repeated Dicover-Offer and the Sonos devices are ignoring the DHCP Offer and start over. Also many other devices work fine with DHCP on this network. We have done more than 100 installations with Sonos and Sonicwall and this is the first time that we have this issue. All devices are connected with a cable to a Cisco switch which has the recommended STP settings.The DHCP offer is being sent to the broadcast address 255.255.255.255 / ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff. I am mentioning this because there are DHCP servers that are sending unicast Responses and AF

My connect amp keeps flashing red.  I factory reset it but it goes back to flashing red.  I’ve spent hours on here trying to figure it out. It’s a new house to us and the rest of the Sonos system is working well but this one connect amp.  Looking for some more troubleshooting advice.  

I have a full sonos system around the house and integrate my Rega planar P1 and Marantz CD6007 using a sonos port.  My question is this:Can I improve the sound output from my Marantz CD6007 by connecting an external DAC inline (using the optical output) and then into the Port, or is that just a DAC into a DAC? The Port obviously has a DAC inside it but can I improve the signal before it gets to the Port?Many thanks in advanceNeil

Hi all,I have a Sonos system all through my house and a turntable connected to a (non-sonos) amp.  If I would like to connect this amp to the sonos system and play my spotify or radio, I’ll just need to buy a Sonos port and connect the sonos port outs to the amp’s ins. I get that.But here it is: I would like to connect the music I play on my turntable to the rest of my sonos system as well, so I could use the rec out of my amp to the ins of the sonos port. Right? Or will this create some kind of short circuit loop that will blow everything to pieces and I should be better of with buying two sonos ports (I hope not :)). Thanks!

How to connect a turntable?The turntable have bt and arc. 

I can’t connect my Port to the old Stereo--I’m including a photo of the back of the stereo. I believe I need to connect the Port input to the Speaker section.  However, it’s not working.    

I have two amps connected you can play on both individually but cant link them to play together? 

Hi, am I the only one considering to swap out Sonos to Bluesound?Bluesounds newer products is launched with Dirac room correction, which allows to fine tune any speaker that is connected to it. And the also provides a wireless sub.
