Is there any way I can connect the AT-LP60XBT to a Sonos Ray?

I’ve had a Sonos Ray sitting dormant in my room for a couple years now and it was purchased as a gift to use as the main speaker system for my player, but we haven’t had any luck connecting the two. Bluetooth connections on the turntable and WiFi connections on the speaker don’t let them connect. I’ve tried a 3.5mm to Optical cable connections between the two and haven’t had luck.

I have Bluetooth, line/phono options and an analog out with an RCA cable on the Player and,
WiFi connections (with AirPlay available), Ethernet port and the optical port on the Ray.

Did it have to be specifically RCA out and not any regular 3.5mm? Is the digital to analog the issue and would a converter work?  Logically the cable should work but it might be Sonos settings that stop it from working? Could it be the phono/line setting on the table or a Sonos app setting that I’ve got wrong that is stopping this from working? Any tips on how to fix this issue?

You will need to use a Sonos product that has a line-in port, or Bluetooth Receiver (Rx) as follows…

  • 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/2/SL - has no line-in, but has BT Rx only
  • Sonos Arc Ultra - 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 - 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):
