Hi all,

I have a Sonos Beam that I’d like to connect with a turntable by a phono sound amplifier. The connection between the the turntable and the amplifier via RCA cables works well with other sound speakers.

Since the sound amplifier output cable is an RCA 3.5mm I need a kind of connector to hdmi. I tried with one bought on Amazon, but it didn’t work. Any suggestions?

For reference, this is the connector I bought on Amazon: ABLEWE RCA to HDMI Adattatore, Convertitore RCA HDMI 1080P Mini AV a HDMI Composito CVBS Video Audio Supporto Pal/NTSC per PC/Laptop/Xbox / PS4 / PS3 / TV/STB/VCR Telecamera Dvd : Amazon.it: Elettronica

 

Thanks

If you want to connect an analog source, use a Sonos device with analog line-in, like an Era (+adapter) or a Port (or Gen 2 Connect).

The adapter you listed will not work, for so many reasons, not least of which the Beam requires an HDMI-ARC signal.

The Sonos Beam has no analog input, and a turntable is analog output.  You could convert the output of the TT to digital optical using an analog to digital converter, then use the Sonos optical to HDMI-ARC adapter, but in all honesty, it’s not really made for that.  Beam is primarily a soundbar for TV.
