Sonos Arc + new record player?!

Hello! We just purchased a Bluetooth enabled record player and we are trying to figure out how to play the sound through our new Sonos Arc system (Arc + a few Ones + subwoofer), but having no luck. All the chat threads here refer to the Play:5. Do we need to buy something else to get this to work? Nice, new and highly-rated record player doesn’t seem to connect as easily as we thought even though BT enabled. No line-in on the new Arc (other than HDMI). We welcome any/all insights please! TIA.

The only Sonos speaker that uses Bluetooth is the Sonos Move. In order to connect your turntable to your current system, you need a Port, Amp, or Five (or the discontinued older models). You would then “group” the speaker/room where your turntable is connected with your Arc setup.

Why did you get a BT enabled turntable? You need one with analog-out to connect to a Sonos system with line-in support (ie not an Arc).
