Turntable, In-Ceilng Speakers and Sonos Five

Hello, so I have the following equipment and would like to link it all up and get it all working with Sonos.

I currently have a turntable with preamp connected to a Sonos 5. I also have 3rd party in-ceiling speakers built into 3 rooms in my house. These all have their own volume controls per room. There is a single RCA wall plate to connect to all the ceiling speakers. (I have only just moved into the house so I don’t know if they require an amp yet or it could be hidden away somewhere?)

How can I connect my turntable to the Sonos 5 and the ceiling speakers (or potentially amp for the ceiling speakers? And also have the ability to stream music (using the Sonos app) to the Sonos 5 and in-ceiling speakers?

Hi

The previous owner may not have known but his/her stereo as they call it was most likely an integrated Amp/Receiver like one might purchase at a BestBuy.

Those speakers require Amplification as by themselves do not have a built in Amp. It they had their own Amplification they would plugged into an outlet or hardwired to electrical.

To your question the Port would be connected to the Amp via a RCA-Input. The only other explanation is that the switcher is also an Amplifier that can accept a source and send that signal to the speakers.
