Turntable and sonos speaker system

apologies if this has been asked many times but i’m struggling to find an answer even having read multiple messages i have 2 x sonos move and 2 x sonos one speakers we have a Marley bluetooth turntable and can only connect 1 speaker. do we need a different turntable or something else to play a turntable through all the speakers?

@caywilliams,
If you add one, or more, of the following speakers to your Sonos setup (devices listed in no particular order)…

  • Roam/Roam SL
  • Move 2 
  • Era 100
  • Era 300

Then you can Bluetooth stream the TT audio to any of these listed newer speakers and whilst they are connected over the local network (wired, or wireless) to your Sonos One’s & Sonos Move’s you can either group all, or some, of the speakers together to playback the playing TT audio received from that TT. This however cannot be achieved with your current hardware until you add one of the listed newer devices to your Sonos system.

I’m not sure how reliable the grouped setup would be, it’s a case of trying these things to see how well they may work with your local network.

You can only connect via Bluetooth to one Move at a time. Sonos One’s are not Bluetooth capable. The confusion for most is that the Sonos One uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) during setup. After that’s done Bluetooth is not available as a connection option.,

    The Move (gen1) and the One speakers are each mono when standalone, but you can stereo-pair each of them (2x One and 2 x Move) when on WiFi, to play the TT Bluetooth audio in stereo.

      Yes, so on your WiFi network, if the 2 x One-SL’s are stereo paired and you have 2 x Sonos Moves also stereo paired, then both ‘pairs’ will each play the Bluetooth Audio in stereo. You simply group those two pairs with your new speaker (from the list I provided above) and Bluetooth pair that new speaker with your Turntable and it will playback on all your speakers.

      Here’s a Support link that explains how to easily group/ungroup your Sonos rooms/speakers too, just in case you may need that information …

        Just to quickly mention aswell, if you do purchase a device direct from Sonos and you find it does not work with your turntable, then there is a period of return, money back guarantee. See this Sonos link for more information on that:
