Using Sonos Beam as a TV soundbar AND speaker for bluetooth turntable - possible?

I currently use my Beam as a soundbar for my Samsung TV. I want to continue to do this but also to begin using it as a speaker for a Bluetooth turntable. Could I achieve this by using a Bluetooth adapter and an HDMI splitter so that I don’t have to keep swapping between the different sources?

The HDMI-splitter would need to route the bluetooth stream (probably an analogue stream once it leaves the Bluetooth receiver) to an HDMI-ARC connection. I’m not sure such a splitter exists.

I’d advise you to buy an Era 100 or Roam. Both can bring bluetooth streams into a Sonos set up. If you choose the Era you could even buy the Sonos USB-C adapter, so you’d have a cable connection to the speaker instead of a bluetooth connection.
