Volume when using Turntable and Era 100

Hi,

I’ve just purchased a Pro-Ject T1 Phono SB Turntable and Sonos Era 100 ‘bundle’ - set up this afternoon with no issues and everything’s working, however…

The volume is really low (especially when compared to streaming music) I’ve adjusted all the settings, Line-In set to 10, volume limit off etc. but it’s just too quiet!

Am I missing something obvious, or does anyone have any other suggestions?

Thanks,

If the turntable has a build in phono pre amp, make sure it’s turned on. Otherwise you will need an external phono pre amp.

Based on the data here, the switch is on the back of the turntable. It should be set to ‘line’, not ‘phono’. 

Some turntables hide these switches under the platter. Given that it isn’t a setting you’d often change, that isn’t an issue, but nice to see it is slightly more accessible on this one.

Also adjusting turntable audio is slightly higher (emphasis on slightly) than when streaming music.
