Hi, I’m new to the community and looking for a bit of advice. I’m looking to buy a Sonos vinyl player. What do I need to get it to play through my playbar and play 1 which I have in multiple rooms.

If your turntable doesn’t have a built-in phono preamp, you will need to first connect your turntable to a phono preamp, and then connect the phono preamp to the Sonos Port.

Once connected, you would just group the new “room” with the Port to your other Sonos rooms and the audio from the turntable will play through all of your Sonos speakers.

I cannot be a 100% sure as I only have Connects rather than Ports but I don’t think you have to group with the Port, the Port will appear as a source in its own right called Line-in on the browse menu.

So have I got this right?

to

pre amp (is it needed if I’m going to Sonos port & Sonos speakers?)

to

sonos port 

then

links up to existing playbar & play 1 surrounds? 🤷🏼‍♂️

    I haven’t looked up that turntable to see if it has a built in preamp, though. 
     

    And your last line should be ‘signal is in the Sonos ecosystem, so I can play it on any of my Sonos speakers’ ;)

      I do indeed.

      Although fair warning, there is a 75ms minimum delay on a Sonos analog line in, and DJing would be problematic, if that’s your plan. Playing music, no issues, though.

        No plans to DJ through it, just saves buying a new player & they’re always increasing in value so I don’t want to get rid of it’s easy enough to sort 👌🏼
