record play/receiver setup with picture

If you are speaking of Sonos Era 100’s you can connect a turntable to them directly using the Sonos proprietary line in adapter. The turntable must have a built-in pre-amp or you can use a 3rd party outboard pre-amp.

The other option is to use your Onkyo and connect the turntable table to its phono input. You would then need to purchase a Sonos Port and connect it to the Onkyo tape-out to send Turntable audio to your Era 100’s.

turntable does not have pre-amp which is why I would like to use receiver. So sounds like SONOS Port would be used to connect to receiver. Does SONOS Port connect to Era 100 speakers via WiFi or Bluetooth? Thanks

The Sonos Port would send audio to the Era 100’s via your WiFi not Bluetooth. Click the links mentioned in my previous post. We’re here to assist with your questions.

The Port has input and output connections. You can use its output connection to your Onkyo tape input to stream audio to speakers connected to it (Onkyo). Also via WiFi.

If you have the space and want to continue using the receiver, you can attach the turntable to the Phono input of the receiver and the SONOS USB input adapter to the receiver’s Video 2 analog audio output. Note that there will be a time delay between speakers connected to the receiver and output from the SONOS system.

Thanks for the suggestion. I looked at your Crutchfield link but did not see any pre-amps that connect to the Era 100 via WiFi which is important to me based on desired setup. Is there a model that you recommend that can connect easily via WiFi? I have 4 different “zones” setup with SONOS Era 100 and Roam 2 speakers and want to be able to choose which zone that the music from turntable plays on. Thanks

The pre-amp sits between your turntable and Era 100 via  RCA cables from turntable to RCA input on pre-amp then RCA out from pre-amp to proprietary Sonos line in adapter to Era 100 using a RCA to 3.5mm stereo cable. There is no such thing as a wireless pre-amp. All wireless communication is handled by the Era 100. You can group other Sonos rooms/zones to Era 100 when playing turntable audio.

Looking at the Crutchfield link I’d recommend the Pro_Ject Phono Box DC as it has a dedicated switch for MM and MC phono cartridges

There is no option ro connect your current turntable to tne Era via WiFi but you could get a Sonos enabled turntable, I think the Victrola Stream line does that. It connects to the Sonos system, not a particular speaker.

You could go from your current turntable to a phono-preamp (essential for both level boosting and application of the RIAA equalization) to a Bluetooth transmitter and on to the Era. Your sound quality would likely suffer from the Bluetooth link.

By far the best option is turntable, short cable, preamp, longer cable, Sonos adapter, Era. You might be able to use a 3 Meter / 12 foot cable beteeen preamp amd the adapter, the better the quality (not the higher the price) the longer you can go. Not a good option to use a long turntable to preamp cable.

Once the turntable is connected to any Sonos you can select it as a source on any Sonos. It doesn't even have to play on the one it is connected to.
