Hi @gb1966 

As long as your turntable has an in-built pre-amp, then the answer to both of your questions is yes.

If not, you could either purchase a pre-amp to put between the turntable and the Port, or connect the turntable to the Phono connection on your amplifier and (usually) Tape Out or Tape Rec to the input of the Port. Please note that the music will be delayed on Sonos units by at least 75ms in the latter case, compared to what you hear from the amplifier, but there is the advantage that you can play any source on the amplifier through Sonos, not just the turntable.

I hope this helps.

...and it seems your model (DJ PLX-500) doesn't need any kind of pre-amplification since it’s onboarding both Line and Phono outputs so basically there’s an integrated pre-amp.

Cheers!

Yes, the PLX-500 has Line and phono output. If i select “Line” output on the turntable I can connect the turntable directly to the Sonons Port and listen the LP on (for example) two Sonos One without any other component (Onkyo Amplifiier, Sonos AMp, etc.)

Correct?

Thank you in advance

Hi @gb1966 

Absolutely correct, yes.

If you also connect the Port’s Line-Out to an input on the amplifier, you can then listen to the same LP on your Sonos and non-Sonos gear together (though if the amplifier does any additional audio processing it may induce a delay).

Please see the Line Out Levels section of our Set up your Sonos Port help page for full details on this, but you probably want to choose a Fixed output level for the best signal-to-noise ratio, and control the Port’s volume from the amplifier and not from the Sonos app (Sonos One volume of turntable playback would still be controlled by the Sonos app or the speaker’s touch buttons).
