How to connect 2 sonos era 300 to Project T1 turntable ?

Good morning

How can I connect the Project T1 turntable (without a preamp) to a pair of Sonos Era 300s and enjoy the music in stereo?

I currently have a Sonos Era 300 connected in line. Is it possible to connect another Sonos Era 300 in line ? Do I need to buy a device like a sonos port or sonos amp ?

Let me know

Thanks

Ahh, you’re now asking different questions and telling us a bit more - like you have got them set up as a stereo pair. But just to be sure: are they both set in one Sonos room as a stereo pair, or two rooms which you’ve grouped?

The Line Out you’re (correctly) using is the amplified output; the Phono connections are non-amplified.

If you’re only getting sound on one Era, make sure the cables are connected correctly. Pull them out and plug them in again. If still no joy plug the red connector into the right socket of line out, and the white into the left. If sound now comes out of only your other Era, there’s a problem with (a) the turntable, (b) the stylus connections, (c) the cable, or (d) the Sonos adaptor.

Add a second Era and then stereo-pair them. The Eras will then “share” the data playing left stereo channel to left speaker and right to right.
They will need a line-level signal from a pre-amp, and the Sonos adaptor to input through the usb-c port. From your question, your tt may have that output, and you may already have the adaptor.

Hi Nika

thanks for your feedback…but I dont understand yet !

The two era 300 already work in stereo if I play music from music streaming (spotify etc).

When I use the turntable instead, the music is only heard from the speaker connected in line in.

What should I do to hear the music on both speakers in stereo format?

My turntable has the outputs as shown in the photo I attach. The model is project t1 and I don't think it is pre-amplified.

Thanks a lot for your support.

Hi Nika

both sonos era 300 set in one sonos room as stereo pair.

to be very precise, both speakers are connected to the same wifi line but only one speaker is connected line in with sonos adapter to the turntable. Is is right or both have to be connected to the turntable line in ? If yes, how can I connect both line in if the tt have only 1 line out with 2 channel ?

thanks

You only need the one adaptor and it can be connected to either Era; the Sonos devices take care of sending left signal to left speaker and right signal to the right.

It would therefore seem your Sonos kit is set up correctly (unless the adaptor is faulty).

What happens when you try the things I already suggested?
