Hi there - I’m looking to buy one of the turntables, but the website says compatible with “select products” - and I don’t see any of my set-up mentioned. I’d be really grateful if someone could assure me that my set-up (Arc, OneSL’s (as surrounds), Sub) is compatible with any of the Sonos turntables?
Many thanks all.

Short answer is no
you need a product with a line in to add a turntable like a Sonos 5
Ah, gotcha - thank you
So in effect, I could get one of the compatible products, connected via line-adapter (e.g. https://www.sonos.com/en-gb/shop/turntable-set-pro-ject-t1-turntable-era-100) and, in turn, connect the era-100 to the rest via the app?
Thanks again for the quick reply.

No problem you are not limited to the turntables offered by Sonos for example I use a Rega Planar 1 with a preamp which cost me £299

excellent service and local to you
Brilliant - thanks so much!
Some turntables may link-in to Sonos using Bluetooth too - here’s a quick summary, whether you use a line-in connection (recommended) or have a TT with Bluetooth…
You will need to use a Sonos product that has a line-in port or Bluetooth Receiver (Rx) as follows…
** Note: If any of the above compatible devices are used as a HT Surround, then their line-in port and Bluetooth Rx both become disabled.
Once the TT is connected, it can play to any/all Sonos products - a line-in connection is the recommended/preferred option.
Here are links to the two Sonos adapters that are currently available to use (if required):
This next link is also worth reading as it supplies a lot of good information about using a Turntable with Sonos speakers…

And if money isn’t an issue there‘s another option… 😉 The Victrola Turntable has got the official WWS (works with Sonos) label and directly streams via wifi to any room of your Sonos system.

Oh wow - thanks Ralf. Do you know if the Hi-Res version is worth the stretch in price?

Sorry, not using the device myself. But as I understand the product page the Hi-Res version doesn‘t support Works With Sonos.

Good look at both here.

If you are willing to pay the price for a really good turntable and phono preamp the cost of a dedicated Sonos Port to play it through is pocket change.

Amazing - thanks guys. Lots of scope here. Think I'm going Victrola non hi-res, but stuff to put a pin in if I'm feeling reckless enough to level-up! Cheers.
