Hoping someone can help!
I have a TEAC Bluetooth turntable and want to connect it to my Ray Sonos soundbar, I was hoping not to have to buy another Sonos speaker as I already also have a SubMini and my living room isn;t that big!
I have found an item (Brennan VB1) which according to the info, can plug into the turntable using audio cables, then using the Brennan app, sync it to the Sonos soundbar, but i’m a bit sceptical and hoped someone here may be able to shed some light?

Will do! 😄
Just to clarify, for anyone reading this thread:
The Ray does not support Bluetooth input. But, I believe that the Brennan VB1 uses wireless connection to your home network and hence can connect to a Sonos system.
A review would be good if you proceed,

Thanks so much, i will give it a go and report back! 🤞🏻👍🏻
+18I think it will work quite well as it seems to use the same functionality via Sonos local api like some other 3rd party devices or apps do.
For example victrola turntable, Senic Mood Play (that I use myself) or nfc tag apps. Just be aware that the manufacturer has to update the software if Sonos do changes on their api.
Hi everyone, so I did buy the VB1 from Brennan, and after some fiddling to get it connected to my WiFi I can report it does connect my turntable to my Sonos soundbar & sub mini, however the sound of the vinyl is pretty bad - very tinny and distorted. I have tried changing the settings on the Brennan app but no joy… so in conclusion, would I buy the VB1? Unless I can find a way to improve the sound quality then no I wouldn’t although it does connect so you may have better luck with a different turntable/speaker setup…
+18Your turntable has a build in phono pre amp. Did you activate it by setting the switch to on?
Otherwise that could be the reason for the weak signal, because the Brennan has got a line in and not a phono in.
