Sonos Arc with home theater and turntable

Hi,

I currently have a Sonos Arc, and I’m planning to buy a couple of Era 100 and a Sub to build a home theater system.

I would also like to use that system to play vinyl, and I could buy a Pro-ject T1 Phono turntable, both line in or bluetooth.

What is the best way to use a turntable with an Arc+2 Era100 home theater system?

So I need let’s say a third Era 100, connected with the turntable via line-in, that will be not included in the sorround system, but will be configured in a speaker group with the other speakers+arc right? 

The only other way could be to connect the turntable via a Port/Amp to the Arc but it way more expensive.

Otherway it looks like I cannot use my home-theater setup to play the turntable easily

 

You do not need to group the line-in 100 with the Arc+100s.  The line-in can be used as a source by any and all Sonos rooms in your system.  Just choose the Arc room, then select the line-in source from the browse menu.  You can even play another source on the single 100 while the Arc is playing the line-in.

A cheaper option is a used S2 capable Connect but that has the usual “used” possibilities for problems. I’d go with the Port if at all possible.
