i have a Beam, two Ones and a Sub can i connect a Sonos turntable to my existing setup?  i use it now for wireless streaming through Alexa currently not for TV. 
Will it be wireless or need a cable to the Beam?
Do I need to purchase a Sonos Preamp?

 

Thank You

No, assuming the TT has either a built-in (or separate) pre-amp to bring the audio up-to line level, or Bluetooth Transmitter (TX), 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/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 - 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):

Hi

Excellent advice from @Ken_Griffiths. For my money (assuming you will using one of the Pro-ject turntables recommended by Sonos shown on the Sonos website) I suggest the Era 100 as the most cost-effective option. Even two Era 100’s (IMO) are still the most cost-effective and you get stereo.

Using one or two Era 100’s you can group them to your other Sonos for whole home enjoyment. Remember…my opinion is based upon cost effectiveness for dollars spent.  @Ken_Griffiths gave you all possible options.
