sonos port and turntable

Hi guys,

I own a turntable (with built in pre-amp), third part speakers (also with a pre amp) and have recently got Sonos. I bought a port because I want to be able to play the turntable music in other rooms.

I know i can simply plug in the port line-in to the turntable so the RCA plugs and it plays around the house) but then not over the third party speakers.

Is there a way to have the third party speakers still play the record while the Sonos speakers plays it around the house? I thought I’d be able to plug the port into the pre amp on the third party speakers but it doesn’t work.
 

i can’t work it out. 


cheers

So the Wharfdales are active. Which model? 

Connect the turntable to the Port Line-In (which it sounds like you’ve already done).

Connect the Port Line-Out or digital out to the speakers.

Ensure that the Port is playing its own Line-In, whether directly or as part of a group.

On the system tab of your Sonos app (the middle one), tap on the Port’s room.

Tap on the Browse tab (the second from left). Tap on Sonos Radio. Play any station you like.

Does the Leak amp play the AUX through the Wharfedales or not? 

Hi Ratty,

 

Yes it plays Line Out to Aux thru the speakers no problem

Cool so it's now all working. I tried plugging the Port Line out back into the amp Phono ports and it6 got all fuzzy,. Would you guys re3ccomend just continuing to play beveryrthing thru the AUX??

Yes. You must use the AUX for the Port.

As stated, do not use the Phono port, that is for converting a raw phono signal, and you are using the preamp, which does the same thing.  Also, check @buzz’s advice to switch the Port volume to Fixed.   If you don’t you will have two volume controls fighting with each other and the signal will be too low.
