Hello

I want to buy a record player for my partner to connect with his sonos one speaker and soundbar. I am looking to buy the Pro-Ject T1 Phono SB Turntable. Do I need to purchase just the sonos port or do I need an amp as well to connect the record player to the speakers.

I was going to buy the Pro ject T1 sonos edition turntable which I believe you only need a sonos port for it to work, however they have sold out. So now a little confused as to what I need exactly for the turntable non sonos editition.

Thankyou for any advice..

Hi all
I purchased the Project T1 PJ97821959 Turntable (https://www.project-audio.com/en/product/t1/) and I’m having problem connect it to my Sonos speaker, the Five. I saw someone (John B) mentioned we needed he version with phono pre-amp. How do I check if this model has it? Trying to decide if I should return it and buy a new one WITH the Five speaker included or if I only need to add a component.

The one you linked to does not have a built in pre-amp, as it would have been listed in either the features paragraph, or under the technical specifications. If I recall correctly, that manufacturer has had either the switch under/inside the platter, or on the back of the device, and it likely would be labeled “Phono/Line” or some such.

Phone pre-amps are a fairly common thing to purchase, you can find dozens of examples on Amazon, for instance, with varying costs. I wouldn’t go too expensive, myself, as some of the high end stuff is really just selling snake oil. You’d just hook up the pre-amp between your turntable and the Sonos, and you’d be good to go.

If you want to stay with Pro-ject, they sell pre-amps themselves: https://www.project-audio.com/en/hifi-electronics/

Nice catch, @106rallye, I didn’t look :)

Make sure you choose one that matches the cartridge/needle that you’re using. Many of those work with both types of cartridges, but there are a few that are specific to one or the other.

Most of the ones on Amazon that I suggested earlier deal with both types of cartridge/needle.

Thanks, I will look into this.
