So I’ve tried this method and it still doesn’t work!!! Now I understand your signature now 😅
is the only remaining option then!

You need to set-up the Roam via wi-fi first and connect it to your Sonos App.

The Marley Stirr it up Wireless with the pre amp in built
Can you pair the turntable with your phone as a test?
Can you pair you iPhone to the Roam? Does your TV support BT? If so, can you pair the Turntable to the TV?
(Just trying to ensure that the Turntable is able to connect to a device, as the Roam should be able to connect without issue.)

I can fully connect my roam to my iPhone and Apple TV. It’s just the turntable that’s being a Problem that’s not allowing the connection to the roam

A fair few of the reviews on the turntable web site mention problems with BT setup. Do you have any other BT devices - I’m leaning towards this being an issue with the turntable rather than the Roam.

Ive tried to connect it with the jbl one too but though it was the jbl problems because the bT speakers where old and this turntable is fairly new

I have the same setup, and it worked for me, had to keep them close. I put the Roam in bluetooth pairing mode, disabled bluetooth on my iPhone (it was the only paired device with the Roam), then I put the Stir It Up in bluetooth pairing mode and was clicking the bluetooth button from time to time, and then it worked. I tried it before without the intermittent clicking and it did not work. I was completely surprised.
Hi there - I just recently bought a Roam 2 in hope that it would pair to my House of Marley Stir it Up. For many weeks I hadn’t been able to pair, consulted this thread (no joy) then emailed House of Marley for advice. They emailed back some instructions which I will share, plus my additional advice/learning which was golden, and possibly what I was doing wrong all along. Sharing with this community just in case it helps someone else! As I type this, I am listening to some vinyl via my Roam 2. Today is happy day indeed.
Here are the instructions from tech support at House of Marley. I have included my notes in brackets/italics/red so you can see my advice or learning!
(Before you begin - turn off any BT devices you may have, e.g. your phone, smartwatch etc)
- Power on the external Bluetooth® device first before turning on the BT function on the Turntable (once powered up, put Roam 2 into BT pairing mode).
- (Short) Press the BT button on the turntable to turn on Bluetooth® transmitter (this step is just turning on BT on the turntable only… read on…. )
- (Short) Press button again to enable the unit to search the Bluetooth® device till BT indicator light becomes solid. This will indicate your devices are paired. (The gem is in the first sentence - “press the BT button again to enable… I didn’t know I needed to short press BT on the turntable twice to actually start the pairing process!)
(You should see/hear the connection being made… and remember to turn on BT back on your iPhone, smartwatch etc)
