Here are some Bluetooth sharing details.

Hi Harrismo,

I too recently purchase the Victrola Onyx Hi-res this week. Would love to know what your set up will be? I’m currently playing through my TV (connected to Sonos Beam) but it’s a little tedious. Would rather connect straight to a portable Sonos speaker if I’m honest.

love to hear your thoughts 

Hi Jez92. I considered that approach too but in the end I bought a Sonos Line-In Adapter (https://www.sonos.com/en-gb/shop/sonos-line-in-adapter) and an RCA>Line-in cable (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01D5H8KO2) which I’ve used to create a wired connection between my Turntable and Sonos Era 100. It’s not ideal as I was originally aiming for a fully wireless setup, but it does allow me to share the audio from the Era 100 to the other non-Bluetooth Sonos speakers in my house, and create groups. When I originally bought the Era 100 I wrongly assumed I could simply stream audio to it and then “daisy-chain” that audio to my other non-Bluetooth speakers. That doesn’t appear to be the case. So I’ve had to compromise but fortunately it’s not a big deal for me to have a wired connection between the turntable and Era 100. I hope this helps. 

It does mate. Glad to hear it works for you.

im looking to run as few cables around the house as possible, so trying to work out what would/should be the best Sonos speaker to wirelessly connect to the Victrola.

if I can get past the issues I’m having with the Beam (and connecting it to the Sonos app) the connection might suffice. Otherwise need to look for an alternative…

.. sorry Harrismo, I just checked and excuse the ignorance - but the Sonos Era 100 has Bluetooth capabilities, no? Why would you not just connect the turntable directly to your speaker? 

It does, but it’s not possible to share that audio with any of my other Sonos speakers, as they are older generation and don’t have Bluetooth capabilities. So if I want to listen to my Turntable audio ONLY through my Era 100, then that works perfectly. But as I want to share the audio to the rest of my system, I have to use the wired connection. 

I hear you. Thanks for the explainer mate.

​@Harrisimo This does not work for you? https://support.sonos.com/en-us/article/share-bluetooth-audio-with-your-sonos-system

If that article doesn’t help confirm all your Sonos are on the latest firmware and Controller versions.

Settings - About will show you what each is running.

Urgh. It didn’t. But now it does. Maybe the original issue was related to the following: 

​@106rallye Thank you.

​@Jez92, you can ignore what I said about needing a Line In connection. It is possible to daisy chain audio from a Bluetooth-supported speaker (e.g. Era 100) to a non-Bluetooth speaker (e.g. One, Beam). I’m not sure if there’s a difference in sound quality - I’ll leave it to the audiophiles to comment on that. Sorry for any confusion and good luck!
