Hi,

I bought 4 of One SL. My plan was to use them as a cafe music speakers. But as I am a franchisee, I need to use a designated music streamer with line out port. So I need to find a receiver getting line in input while sending wifi transmitting to my Sonos SL speakers. I know there's Sonos Port but it is way expensive for me. Can somebody recommend me an alternative for Sonos Port? Thanks.

Thanks for the prompt response. Those old models you mentioned all support line in input and transmitting to One SL?

A used Connect, or a Five, or a Play:5.

Unless your music streamer has Sonos support: http://sonos.com/business when you can use it directly on your One SLs.

Yup, though might require an S1 system depending on which Gen’s they are.

They will work with a One SL, just make sure whatever you pick up will run the Sonos S2 system as the SLs require it. (see the footnote at the link)

So avoid the Gen 1 Connects and the even older ZP /Zone Players:
