pioneer Plx 500 with Sonos

I have a Sonos Beam gen2 and a Move Gen 1. I’d like to use them wireless with a Pioneer DJ PLX500 turntable ( RCA output ). At the moment Beam gen 2 is connected via optical cable to a LG Tv set. Thanks for your help

Hi ​@Special_one67 

Welcome to the Sonos Community!

Assuming you do not want to DJ, and instead just want some vinyl playing, you would need a Sonos device with Line-In. The cheapest current option would be to buy an Era 100 and a Line-In Adaptor, though you could also opt for a Five or a Port, or a Era 300 (also with the Adaptor). The Line In will act as a Line In to the system, rather than to any particular speaker - the turntable would play to any one speaker, or any combination.

For any solution other than Port, you will need a RCA-3.5mm adaptor or cable.

I hope this helps.

Sonos is not suitable for live performances like DJ’ing due to the 75 ms buffer needed for multi-room.  Even if you could convert the analog output to the low latency HDMI-ARC connection to the Beam, grouping in the Move is still going to cause an echo due to the buffering. 

Best to find something fit for purpose.

    Thanks for your suggestion, could I just match it with Move?

    Any input is going to incur the 75 ms delay.  Bottom line, Sonos is not fit for live performance.
