unable to connect pro-ject T1 to sonos one

Hello community,

I have a pro-ject T1, cable RCA , pro-ject phono box mm and the speaker sonos one.
I followed all the steps to set it up.But somehow it seemed like it didn’t connect with the speaker.
I could only hear a low volume from my pro-ject T1. Any ideas how to resolve this ?

thank you,
Chia

The exact same one is here too, sold with its own power supply…

What are you connecting the pre-amp to on the Sonos One speaker? It has no line-in port, are you sure it’s a Sonos One?

If both devices are on the same software (Connects made before 2016 are S1 only) you should be able to choose “line in” on the Sonos One when you play a record,

Ah that makes sense now… er… presumably you have it so the TT RCA line-out goes to the pre-amp (line-in) and it’s line-out goes to the Connect RCA line-in. If the audio is not very loud, then go into the Sonos App ‘Settings/System/[Connect Room Name]’ and try setting the line-in source level higher - set it so that at full volume you do not hear and distortion at/near the full volume level. I would start with source-level 8 and adjust it up/down from there and see if that resolves the issue.

Form the picture, it looks like there is a port labeled “Input DC” which I assume would be where you’re supposed to connect power to your preamp.  I don’t see any power cable for that device, and it surely would need some power to amplify the signal coming off your turntable.

Yes, I agree with @melvimbe - the pre-amp needs power to work.

Good quality power too, if you don’t want a hum or buzz in the audio.

I’d look for a switch mode supply (not analog) of the proper voltage and with more milliamps of output than you need.
