Hi,

I have a problem with no sollution so far. Got myself technics turntable with Ecler Nuo mixer and would love to get it connected to my Sonos setup. I did purchased digital to analogue converter as I thought it will convert analogue signal from my mixer to the beam with cables I got with the system ( optical to HDMI ).

I’m not sure if it’s an issue with converter or should I do something else? 
many thanks for your help!

Hi,

 you need either SONOS PORT, SONOS AMP, SONOS ERA, FIVE or MOVE 2. Connection direkt to BEAM will not work.

Sonos with Turntable or Line-In CD etc.

You will need to use a Sonos product that has a line-in port as follows…

  • Port/Connect 
  • Amp/Connect:Amp**
  • Five/Play:5 (gen2)**
  • Era-100  (requires additional dongle)**
  • Era-300 (requires additional dongle)**
  • Sonos Move 2 (requires additional dongle)

** Note: If any of the above compatible devices are used as a HT Surround, then their line-in port becomes disabled.

Once the TT is connected it can play to any/all Sonos products

Here are links to the two Sonos dongles 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…

Hi,

thank you for the answers, however I do have some follow up questions to dispel my doubts. 
Curently, I use Sonos only in the living room, where I have pair of ONE SL, BEAM gen2, SUB gen2, in this room would like to install the TT

  1. If I replace pair of ONE’s with pair of ERA100, speaker with in line connection to Ecler. ERA cannot be used as a part of surround sound setup only once TT is connected or at all? I’m not going to use two sources at the same time in this room. Should I unplug inline connection once using it as a part of surround sound?
  2. If using TT with ERA will it be possible to play music from TT in different room?
  3. while TT is connected to ERA in my surround setup, will all speakers in the room play from TT or just pair of ERA’s?
  4. getting AMP is bit pointless if I have external mixer, but I do consider PORT, but while TT is connect to PORT, can I play music from TT in a different room?

Thanks!

When the Era 100s are set as Home Theatre bonded ‘surrounds’ - the line-in port cannot be used as the port becomes disabled.

Either standalone, or stereo paired however, then the Era 100 can then be used with a TT. The audio from the TT can be played on any/every Sonos room.

hi Ken,
So it looks PORT is the way to go for me.

Many thanks for your suport!

Hello, I have the same problem, the Sonos HDMI to optical converter does not work. However, with this little device https://es.aliexpress.com/item/1005006361178787.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.11.1aa3194d1riuUF&gatewayAdapt=glo2esp you connect the line output of the mixer to the sonos converter cable and the beam works . The only problem is that you need 2 HDMI cables, one for the TV and other for the turntable and connect one or the other depending on what you want to listen to.
