Looking to add a turntable

I have 2 Play Ones (older, non smart) and a Playbar in our living room. We also have a Move on the patio. 

I would love to add a turntable to our lives and get back to purchasing records but I am very unsure on how to go about this. 

It seems like it’s more complicated than I had hoped.

Does anyone have a relatively simple solution?

Thanks.

If you get a turntable that is compatible with Bluetooth, you can connect it to the Move. But you will not be able to play the turntable audio on the Play:1s and Playbar.

If you want to play the turntable audio on all of your Sonos speakers, you need a Sonos device with Line-In like a Port, Five, or Amp. Also be sure your turntable has a built-in phono preamp.

One other option is connecting a Bluetooth enabled turntable to a Sonos Roam. With this option, you can group your other Sonos speakers to the Roam and listen to the turntable audio.

Sounds like a Roam + bluetooth turntable is the perfect option, then.

Thanks a lot!
