Hi 
I get confused by Sonos systems :P
i have a Sonos 5 and Soundbar  and would like to add a turntable 

if I have a Turntable and buy a Sonos amp that i connect it to

will the Sonos amp share the music from the turntable to the speakers via WIFI? I;d rather not use wires...

 

thanks!

  1. You need a Turntable with a built-in or external phono pre-amp (this is not the same as a Sonos Amp).  This pre-amp converts the phono signal on the turntable to a normal line-in signal.  
  2. You need a Sonos device with a Line-In; Five, Port, Amp, or an Era-100/300 with the Line-In accessory.   Note:  If you do not intend to connect external passive speakers, the Sonos Amp is overkill.

If you (Play:5 or Five - it’s not clear which you have) is not bonded as surround to your soundbar (also not clear which model you have) you can use a turntable with pre-amp output levels and plug directly to the line-in input on the “5”.

Only if you buy a wireless turntable.

You could buy a wired one and a wireless connector setup, so “sorta wireless” there.
