Use ROAM or MOVE as Bridge from Bluetooth Turntable

I am considering buying a Bluetooth turntable in order to revisit some dusty old vinyl. I am particularly interested in the Project T1 BT.

I do not want to connect any additional cabling into the turntable.

I only currently have Wi-Fi SONOS speakers in my system and was hoping that I could buy either a MOVE or ROAM bluetooth speaker to connect to the turntable and additionally use as a ‘bridge’ to enable playing of the vinyl on my other wi-fi only SONOS speakers. Can anyone confirm if this is possible to mix output via both bluetooth and non bluetooth SONOS speakers?

Thanks

Roam will absolutely do this - I was listening to Youtube videos on my iPad, via Bluetooth to the Roam, bridged to Play:1 speakers within an hour of getting the Roam. According to other posters on this board, the Move cannot do this due to a different antenna.

@Ken_Griffiths I still haven't been able to get smooth playback. The above feedback was a bit of a false positive as the skips are still driving us crazy, not worth even playing a record currently.

I've spent hours fiddling with various combinations of wifi settings, I moved the router into the same room, no change. I set up a spare router to confirm it wasn't an issue with the router. I can confirm the Bluetooth runs smoothly to the roam, but whatever the Bluetooth source is, the skipping occurs on all other speakers when the roam bridged to the other speakers via wifi.

So, the Bluetooth works well, and the wifi works well.. I can only conclude at this point that it's an issue with this particular roam or even roams in general for this use.

A I missing something here or is it time to look into my warranty options?

Warranty is of course always an option open to you to consider and here is the LINK to Sonos customer support if you do decide to pursue that.

In your last post I see you have mentioned different things you have tried with your network/moving router etc; but you haven’t mentioned trying an alternative audio source - something other than your TT to perhaps eliminate that device as being a part of the issue.

If you stream Bluetooth audio from a mobile device, for example, does that work for you on the Roam? If not, then I would perhaps certainly speak to Sonos Support. If that and perhaps other sources do work however, then maybe see what your TT support desk have to say about the matter, as there maybe things they can perhaps suggest too.

The only other option is to look at using a line-in audio connection to the Sonos system instead of a Bluetooth connection, as discussed previously.
