Connecting bluetooth turntable to Sonos Move and whole system

Unfortunately the Move isn’t capable of sharing Bluetooth audio to the other Sonos speakers in your system. The Move 2, Roam, Roam SL, Era 100, and Era 300 have this feature though:

Hello,

Thank you for your reply.

Since my plan is to play my turntable in my whole system, I believe the audio device doesn’t really matter ? Meaning that I can take the Roam only has the bluetooth device ? No need of a big speaker at this point… 

The Roam SL would be the least expensive Bluetooth option. But if you want a more reliable connection, consider getting an Era 100 and connect the turntable via line-in using the Sonos Line-In Adapter.

Thank you once again

So to confirm:

• I buy a Sonos Roam SL
• I can connect my audio technica bluetooth to the Roam SL
• Than group with all my other speakers in my house, including the sub mini

Correct ?

Yes.

You might be better off using a wired connection to play to all your rooms - see the below information which might give you some things to think about…

Although Bluetooth and Line-in audio both work, I would personally choose to use a ‘line-level’ connection, between TT and a Sonos speaker, rather than Bluetooth wireless. Or maybe have the option to use both. Here are the Sonos devices that work with a line-level connection and/or Bluetooth Rx:

• Port/Connect (no BT Rx)
• Amp/Connect:Amp (no BT Rx)**
• Five/Play:5 (gen2) (no BT Rx)**
• Era-100 (has BT Rx) (requires additional dongle)**
• Era-300 (has BT Rx) (requires additional dongle)**
• Sonos Move 2 (has BT Rx) (requires additional dongle)
• Sonos Roam/SL - has no line-in, but has BT Rx only

** 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.

Here are links to the two Sonos adapters that are currently available to use (if required):

Hello,

Thank you for the answer as well.

I believe that even if I choose to use a line-in, I will still need to buy a new Sonos device since I only have the Move (not the gen 2). 

My plan to buy the Roam SL, less expansive, will be only bluetooth.

Than the Era 100, second less expansive, will give me both options.

Correct?

@alexartifice,

Yes, correct, but note you also will need one of the Sonos Dongle's mentioned in order to use the line-in on the Era-100.

Thank you very much @Ken_Griffiths and @GuitarSuperstar 

I might either buy the Era 100 or Roam SL, I will decide this week.

Thanks alot

Personally I’d go with the 100 and the line-in adapter rather than Bluetooth if it was possible.

Folks here have tried both and seem to think the Bluetooth v5 found in the Roam SL does a pretty decent job.

Hey @Stanley_4 thank you for the answer too.

So the turntable would be connected to the Era 100 via an auxiliary cable + Sonos Line In Adapter, than it would be grouped with all the other speakers within the App

Am i right ?

Correct.  Also, sound quality would be marginally better if you choose lossless in the Line-In settings. 

Thank you very much ! Will do that.

Hi

It appears you have the answer you need to get the best audio connection for your turntable. There has been a lot of back n’ forth and I’m too lazy to read through all of it😊

One additional point (if not previously addressed) is that using the line-in option your turntable must have a built-in pre-amp; or you must purchase an external pre-amp that fits between it and the Sonos speaker. 

Happy Holidays
