Sonos Port + Third Party Speaker Sync

Hello!

 

I just set up a Sonos Port to my turntable and a third party speaker, but I am having sync issues when playing to the speaker and other Sonos speakers.

 

Here's a breakdown of my set-up:

AT-LP120XUSB »

Rega Phono Mini A2D V2 »

Sonos Port »

Marshall Stanmore II Voice

 

I would understand a delay if were running to an receiver between the Port and the Marshall speaker, but I'm going Line-Out directly to the Marshall. I've also set the Port to the all the Audio Delay options in the app without success.

 

Is it not possible to play music Line-Out to a third-party speaker and to the Sonos simultaneously without a delay?

 

Thanks!

Ah, ok. Tested with other speakers and they were okay. So strange the Marshall would create a delay with an RCA or Aux input.

 

Thanks for all your help!

    If the Marshall offers digital processing, this could introduce latency.

    As an update, I ended up purchasing a RCA piggyback cable doing the following:

     

    AT-LP120XUSB »

    Rega Phono Mini A2D V2 »

    Marshall Stanmore II Voice »

    Piggyback »

    Sonos Port

     

    I then set-up the Audio Delay for the Port to be 150 ms. It’s sounding good.

    Hi All, I know this is a year old already but I’ve been having the same problem. I don't have quite as many parts. My set up gos from:

    Record Player (Vintage Thorens) »

    Pioneer A-70DA Phono ports »

    Out of Pioneer using RCA Output Ports »

    Sonos Connect RCA input

    I managed to change the delay to 75ms but there’s still a slight delay and as we have an open plan house and have the speakers at either end of a big room it is noticeable.

    Any ideas?

    I ended up getting a splitter that goes from my third-party speaker to the port. That way the signal goes to the third-party first, the third party does its internal delay business, and the signal comes out (post-delay) and goes to port which sends it to the rest of the home.

    It’s got its own quirks to it but it’s working.

    I’d try that except the record player requires an amp otherwise the volume is very low. I was using the same player as you but was gifted this Thorens player which is pretty sweet and I reckon sounds a lot better but might be a pain if I can't get rid of the lag.
