I currently use one Sonos ERA 100 to play CDS from my HIFI CD player through the Line In adaptor.

My question is….can I use two Era 100’s, one from CD player left channel and one from the right channel that will give me a truer stereo effect ?

I’m unsure about the ‘’pairing’’ effect ?

Thanks all.

The Line-In adaptor is a stereo device. When playing through a single speaker, both channels are played in that speaker, however, you can “Bond” another ERA 100 and form a stereo pair.

Note that Line-In is simply another music source on the network that can be played (“Grouped”) through any combination of Rooms. A Room can be a single speaker, pair, or surround. One point of confusion is that Line-In is not automatically played through the speaker that is hosting the physical Line-In connection.

You only need to connect the CD player to one ERA100 as you already have,  once paired with another ERA100 the stereo signal is automatically sent to the correct speaker.

Thank you all, that definitely answers, and no need for second Line In/RCA cable, cheers.
