I use a Playbase, Sub, and two Five speakers for listening to music and for home theatre viewing. I would like to add a turntable to this system to listen to my vinyl collection. Given that the system functions through wi-fi, is there a way to do this?

You might look at this turntable, WiFi connected to any Sonos.

You mention the Fives and home theater, if they are used as surrounds the input is going to be disabled so you’d need a non-Surround Sonos with an input to use a conventional phono/preamp combination.

You will need a turntable with a built-in preamp or an external preamp. Connect the preamp output to a SONOS FIVE using a 3.5mm stereo patch cord. You can play the turntable in any combination of Rooms.

Thank you. However, if I do plug a turntable into one SONOS FIVE speaker, will the audio play out through the entire system or just the one speaker?

You always have the option of where you direct a Sonos analog line in. It can be to the speaker it is part of, a group of speakers, or just another speaker completely.
