I don’t have an AMP handy to test this. Perhaps another AMP user could temporarily disconnect the speakers  and check to see if the SUB output continues.

    Does anyone have step by step instructions as I cant figure it out!? I have a record player and sub physically connected to amp. Plus a pair of 3’s wireless called Office. So I select Office and Line In (amp) as the source. If I change the sub or speaker volume etc on the amp through the app it does nothing (I assume this is only relevant if you have speakers wired to the amp). All volume is controlled through the Office settings for the 3’s. Nothing comes out of the sub.

    According to copilot it is possible so will try again !

     

    Sure, here’s a step-by-step guide to set up your Sonos Amp with a turntable, a wired non-Sonos subwoofer, and Play:3 speakers:

    Step 1: Connect the Turntable to the Sonos Amp

    1. Check for a built-in preamp: If your turntable has a built-in preamp, you can connect it directly to the Sonos Amp. If not, you’ll need an external phono preamp.
    2. Connect the turntable: Use an RCA cable to connect the turntable (or preamp) to the line-in ports on the back of the Sonos Amp1.

    Step 2: Connect the Wired Non-Sonos Subwoofer

    1. Locate the subwoofer output: Find the subwoofer output on the Sonos Amp, labeled “SUB”.
    2. Connect the subwoofer: Use an RCA cable to connect the subwoofer to the Sonos Amp2.
    3. Adjust subwoofer settings: In the Sonos app, go to Settings > System > [Your Sonos Amp] > Subwoofer. Adjust the subwoofer settings, including the crossover frequency and output level2.

    Step 3: Set Up the Play:3 Speakers

    1. Power on the Play:3 speakers: Plug in your Play:3 speakers and power them on.
    2. Add Play:3 to the Sonos system: Open the Sonos app on your mobile device. Go to Settings > System > Add Product and follow the instructions to add your Play:3 speakers to the system.

    Step 4: Configure the Sonos Amp

    1. Open the Sonos app: Ensure your mobile device is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your Sonos Amp.
    2. Add the Sonos Amp: In the Sonos app, go to Settings > System > Add Product and follow the instructions to add the Sonos Amp.
    3. Name the room: During setup, you’ll be prompted to name the room where the Sonos Amp is located.

    Step 5: Adjust Settings

    1. Line-In Settings: In the Sonos app, go to Settings > System > [Your Sonos Amp] > Line-In. Adjust the settings for the turntable, including autoplay and volume3.
    2. Subwoofer Settings: In the Sonos app, go to Settings > System > [Your Sonos Amp] > Subwoofer. Adjust the subwoofer settings to your preference2.

    Step 6: Group the Devices

    1. Group the Play:3 speakers: In the Sonos app, go to the Rooms tab. Select the room with the Sonos Amp and group it with the Play:3 speakers.

    Step 7: Enjoy Your Setup

    1. Play music: Use the Sonos app to play music from your turntable or any other source. The sound will be distributed through the Sonos Amp, subwoofer, and Play:3 speakers.
