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…

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

 

There is that one silver/gold cable that looks like a speaker cable, and I can’t tell what it’s connected to, if anything.  That could be the power cable?  I don’t know.

    The pre-amp should come with the DC power supply according to this Amazon link (albeit casing is slightly different, it is a Pro-ject Phono Box MM):

    It’s probably hidden away beneath a cardboard partition in the packaging, perhaps?

      That’s the turntable ground.

        Hey Guys… @buzz @Stanley_4 @Ken_Griffiths @melvimbe @106rallye 

        Are you convinced this is a legitimate OP. It’s been three (3) hours since a response and it was identified three (3) hours ago by @melvimbe that a power supply was needed and yet still no response from the OP. Furthermore the OP lists in her profile the following:

        • Country Paris
        • City France

        Don’t get me started on that...😂

        Any who….carry on fearless community members. You’re doing a great job. Not that you require my approval 😂

          Even if the OP had not replied @AjTrek1, my own thoughts are, it doesn’t really matter that much anyway, as this thread might one day assist some other users who may frequent these pages, with the same/similar issue.

          I do have far more of an issue with the Sonos community ‘search facility’, as it’s still rather difficult to (re)search a good many things on the forum here and to find helpful information. If it wasn’t for Google search I doubt I would ever find some of the past-answers to a good many things myself.

            Both the forum search and the support search are poor. Using the “site:” option with a search engine is usually faster and gets better results.

              hello everyone ,

              it’s me again, how are you doing?

              i did buy a dc input for my phono recently, however..
              the turntable is connected. but the result in no sound.

              i could only hear thin volume from the turntable event though i’ve ajusted  the setting in the app.

               

              any lead could give me advices please? 😭

              The wiring in your images (as far as can be seen) looks correct.

              What is the line-in ‘source level’ setting in the ‘Connect’ room settings in the App? If it’s set low, at level 2 - try setting it higher (level 8 or higher) and ensure the output volume is set to 50%, or higher, too.

              Then go onto select the line-in icon in the Music Services Tab to play the TT audio on your chosen Sonos device/group and ensure the volume-level for that device/group is not set low, or muted and see if that gets things working for you.

              Make sure the pre-amp is working aswell - are there any signs that device is receiving power, any visible LED light etc?
