Currently have a Rega turntable with Rega Phono Mini connected to a Play 5 Line in using RCA cablesi want to add a CD player to the set up (either with integrated amp or a separate amp)Can anyone suggest the best way to do this - do I go down the RCA switch route (2 in - Turntable and CD player 1 out - to Play 5 ) or is there a better way of connecting to the 5  

I’m looking to buy a bluetooth turntable with built-in pre-amp. I’m looking for a lower-cost solution than buying the Sonos Amp (for now), and I have a 3-part question: 1) I realize that I need to connect the turntable to a Sonos speaker with a line-in port. I’m thinking of buying an Era100 for this. But I want to make sure that I would also be able to pipe the music from the turntable throughout the whole house by grouping the Era100 with my other speakers. Can someone confirm that’s possible? 2) I have a Roam speaker. If I instead connected the turntable via Bluetooth to the Roam (instead of buying an Era100), could I also group the Roam with the other speakers in the house so I can hear the music in other rooms? 3) I have the Arc + Sub in our media room. Could I also group those into the speaker set where I’m playing music from the turntable, or is that not possible or practical? As you can probably tell, one of my priorities is to be able to easily listen to vinyl anywhere around t

How to connect receiver that I has now to here cds, tapes radio to a Sonos port?  Do I need to connect to the place where the wired speakers are now?

I would like to set up surround sound as well as full mono for music with an existing setup if possible. I have hardwired with 12/4 gauge wire at the four corners of a rectangular pool with rock speakers  from Niles Audio Rs8si (now known as proficient audio). I have two amps and a Sonos arc (arc used as center) at the small end of pool on porch. is it possible to switch back and forth from surround sound and then mono and or stereo mode for music.  other than red black wiring only is there a better way to wire up?  when I called Proficient/Niles the senior service engineer t sent me a mapping of the wires to allow for greater dispersion with surround. but not sure if it’s compatible with Sonos amp My installer says I had to choose between mono and surround     

We are a bar/cafe. We have 2 Sonos Ones mounted high up (we need a ladder to reach them if that's useful to know) from which we play Spotify through our wifi connection, from an iPad mounted to the bar.We now want to set up a (preferably Audio Technica) turntable to play vinyl records. It's important that we're able to switch between the turntable and Spotify seamlessly and we want to avoid the cost/clutter of wires. Is there any way to connect a turntable, wirelessly, to our existing Sonos setup? I’ve read that we can use a Sonos Port or a Sonos Roam but I want to make sure its easy to switch between Spotify and Vinyl.Thank you for your help.

Novice here on tech details on Sonos System and need help with what I need to do to add a turntable to our system. What we have: Hard-wired (non-Sonos) in wall speakers spread through 3 levels of residential home. They are connected to our internet with Sonos ports and an amp of some sort (not sure it’s a Sonos amp, but that might be there too). 10-15 speakers. The wiring has been run to a utility room where our internet and all the Sonos components are centralized (the brain so to speak). What I want to do: Add a turntable (either Pro-ject or similar with built-in amp) to our living room. Question: How do I add this turntable to our existing system so that the records play over our wired speakers (and their various groupings on the app)?-Do I need a Port (does that speak wirelessly to our existing system?), or an Amp (trying not to duplicate components we already own), or would and Era 100 speaker plugged into the turntable communicate wirelessly with our system in the utility room?An

I have three zones.  I had a yamaha 3060 powering them  I now have sonos amp - kitchen studysonos amp- patiosonos port  with the yamaha 3060 amp   is there a way to not have to go into the app (yamaha) and turn it on so that sonos port will work. .. meaning can i just use the sonos phone app and tell it to turn everything on in all zones.. I know sonos port has a trigger.. ?   is there a way for screen tv viewing of what is playing on the sonos system thank you   

Hi! We're looking to install 6x outdoor speakers in the ceiling in an outdoor seeting area. We want to have these speakers amplified with three Sonos amps in one “room” with a third party subwoofer an amplifier. I heard that it's not possible to have more than two Sonos amps in one “room” configuration (so used as three stereo pairs together). Is this correct?

I currently have a HEOS/Denon system that’s connected to Wifi and with 4 hardwired speakers and a Sub that is connected wirelessly (not sure how they did that. Pro install), in my outdoor patio.  I intend to keep the hardwired speakers and use a sonos sub. Anyway, I don’t like a wifi system.  I want to be able to play or have guests play their favorites channels via bluetooth rather than getting on my wifi system.What do I need to accomplish this?

All of my TV sound is piped into sonos amps so I am able to play my TV sound in all speakers in my house. I wanted to connect a mixer through the sonos port and into the amp so I could sing vocals with wireless mics into the sound board, and combine the sound from the TV and the mixer. Is that possible? 

Possible a slightly quirky setup question, but I’ll ask anyway. Apologies that this relates to my other question, but I feel it warrants a sepaarte topic. EDIT: Please ignore! I just realised that wiring in series is not recommended, so that rules out me adding another pair as I had hoped. I have a Sonos Amp driving a pair of Monitor Audio C180 (https://www.monitoraudio.com/en/product-ranges/basics/c180/). These are 6 ohm. I want to add another pair of speakers at the other end of the room. The ones I am looking at are 8 ohm. Should I be able to safely drive both sets of speakers off the same amp, with the wiring being fed Amp > C180 (6 ohm) > new speakers (8 ohm) ? My knowledge around resistance etc is poor.If the above is not recommended, would it be better if I bought 6 ohm speakers so that all four were 6 ohm?Many thanks Jim

I have multiple rooms with speakers wired to Sonos Amps. I also have a playbar. When listening to Amazon music, Spotify, apple music, and Sirius XM the music continues playing on the playbar without fail, but comes and goes regularly in the rooms that are wired to the Amps. The amps are Ethernet wired to my router, and the playbar is wired to the amp as well. Can someone help suggest a fix for why the amp would stop playing to wired speakers, but continue playing to the sound bar?

hi all, i have a sonos system, sub gen 3, 8 x play 1’s, arc  which i have had for years all working fine no probs. i also have a technics 1210 turntable ( old skool ) which i want to connect to my system. someone told me i need a speaker with an aux input, so i went and purchased a era 100,connected the rca leads to rca-3.5mm jack convertor, then the 3.5mm jack to usb-c to plug into the era 100,that did not work, and then i was told i would need a preamp between the turntable and the speaker, i then took the speaker back, but want to connect my turntable to my sonos system. do i need to purchase the sonos amp?it will not be connected to anything else; ie: wired speakers or another amp. i just want my turntable to be able to work with my existing sonos speakers.  thanks in advance.

I just setup my Sonance MAG 6.1 garden series speaker system last. I first tried playing a movie and it seemed to only play the the front L and R sound channels, no audio dialog. The sound was coming from an AppleTV 4K via AirPlay. Next I tried playing music from my iPhone via AirPlay and again part of sound (the voice dialog is missing). Then I tried using the Sonos app Sonos Radio to play music and again the voice is missing. I called Sonance an verified the speaker installation and the it is wired in parallel and all speakers and the subwoofer are working. Anyone have any ideas why I am only get part of the audio program?

Helloi have an amp connected to 4 sets of in ceiling speakers that was working great and now suddenly when I put the volume past 70ish the sounds cuts out. When I unplug the right banana clips I can go up to 100 volume.  I understand this to be a safety feature so the amp doesn’t break beyond repair but I can’t fathom what has happened to the right cables to cause this issue. We had some construction work done and new lights installed but I don’t see how it could be related. Does the community have any ideas what the issue is in the connections/cables to cause this? thanks in advance for the help

anyone have an idea/fix for a S2 connect amp that won’t stop blinking white. Tried new router tried to reset existing router. tried to re-setup  hold play/+

hello connecting a project E1 turntable with phono preamp, remotely (different room,) using a port a turntable and a connect 2 at stereo then grouping on app Do I need a dac at the connect stereo interface? Also I use tidal to stream from my phone to Sonos connect with no dac? Would a dac improve sound quality from tidal?  Thanks ps receiver is a Yamaha a740

Hello - hopefully a straightforward question. Is the ZP90 compatible with AirPlay 2? The reason I’m looking at one of these is to stream audio to my HiFi as it has both optical and coaxial audio out, where the Port is limited to coaxial only. Thank you

We would like to make it as easy as possible for guests to use the Sonos amp and speakers in their rooms to stream audio from their phones.  The best solution we’ve seen for this in other rental properties is VSSL, where the user simply connects to a bluetooth receiver with the corresponding room name and voila - their iphone audio is streaming through the in-wall / in ceiling speakers. Has anyone attempted to provide an alternate audio source for the TV audio in from their sonos amps, so that alternate sources can be used as the “TV Autoplay” feature in a local room, especially when no TV exists in that room? 

Helloi have an Arc and want to connect my turntable (3.5mm jack) to arc is there any adapter from 3.5 to AirPlay or HDMI (but in this last case I need to double HDMI port because arc is connected to my tv)thanks 

I just installed Sonos Amp with my speakers and a KEF HTB2 subwoofer.I see in the Sonos app I can set the phase to 0 or 180 - and I have a switch on the subwoofer that does the same thing - 0 or 180.I set them both to 0.My question is “why” do I have the same setting via Sonos app and a switch on the sub - and should they be set to the same setting - 0 in my case.
