Turntable help

Hi all,

I know this has been discussed before but I can't find the answer I need.

I have various Sonos products, subs, play bars, surround speakers and a move in various rooms. I have just been given a Audio-Technica LP60XBTBK for Christmas and want to connect it to my system so I can play it throughout the house.

I am confused on if I need a port or an amp or neither. Can anybody help please.

You need a product that supports Line-In and is not part of a surround Room. Which SONOS products do you own?

Hi, I have got 2 rooms both with a play bar, sub and play1 surrounds and an early Sonos move as well

You have two options:

Purchase an Era 100 with the line in adapter and connect the turntable to that speaker. You can then group it with any of the other rooms in your home. This is providing you have the room for another speaker. Then you can add a second 100 for a stereo pair and have a dedicated spot for the turntable.
You can get a Port and connect that to the turntable. With the Port you can choose a room that it will automatically play to so that every time you drop the needle on a record that room will play the audio. Then you can also group the room to the other room in your home.

Both will work, but the Era 100 is the least expensive option.

Your turntable is bluetooth capable, I think. Do you own any bluetooth capable Sonos devices that would be able to relay bluetooth sound to other Sonos speakers? I seem to remember the Sonos Move (Gen 1) is the only bluetooth capable Sonos speaker that cannot do this.

Yes, it’s a Bluetooth capable turntable. Here is a list of SONOS Bluetooth capable SONOS models that can Group their Bluetooth connection with other Rooms.

Personally, I would prefer a SONOS Line-In connection, rather than Bluetooth. I know that the world seems to be centered around Bluetooth at the moment, but for me there are too many hassles. I have multiple Bluetooth capable devices and often one device will lock out others, forcing me to dig into one or two device configurations in order to resolve the issue.

Thanks. I thought a port may be the way forward.
