The Beam isn’t Bluetooth compatible. The only Sonos speakers compatible with Bluetooth are the Era 300, Era 100, Move, Roam, and Roam SL.

You can also connect the turntable to a Sonos device with line-in like the Port, Five, Era 300, or Era 100. Read more here.

FYI… your model turntable has a built-in phono preamp.

Thank you. So in short i won’t be able to play it on the Beam at all and will need a different set up?

If you want to play turntable audio to the Beam, you need to add one of the Bluetooth compatible speakers listed above (except the Move) and share the Bluetooth audio to the Beam/Sub setup. But the best option is adding a Sonos device with line-in like the Port, Five, Era 300, or Era 100. Connecting the turntable to any of these devices will allow you to play the turntable audio to the Beam.

    For a lounge set up where we have a beam and the large sub, would 2 x era 100s be the best bet? What would you opt for if you were me? Thanks 🙏🏻

    If you also want the Era’s to be surrounds, no. Bluetooth is turned off when speakers are used as surrounds.

      If we went for the era 100s and connected the deck via Bluetooth, can we then daisy chain the beam and sub to them?

      thanks

      Yes, you can share the Bluetooth audio from the Era 100s to the Beam. Read more here:

      Ok so I’ve purchased the Sonos era 100s and they won’t connect via Bluetooth to my project t1 bt- in fact nothing happens when I press the Bluetooth pairing button. I’ve since added a phono lead to the Sonos adaptor for a wired connection to the one speaker thinking that may start the daisy chain of connectivity but still not audio output. What the heck am I doing wrong? TIA
