Now, no matter which player you plan on using, you'll have the ability to send the music to all of the other Sonos speakers around your house and at the same time. Our Five and Play:5 are all-in-one speakers with the amplifier and speakers all housed in a compact, solid enclosure. You'll want to use a Connect:Amp or the new Sonos Amp when you already have a pair of third-party speakers but lack an amplifier. The Connect and Port are perfect if you already have an amplifier and a set of third-party speakers that you don't want to part with. While all six can be used with a turntable, they each have a different application. There are three discontinued Sonos players that have a line-in port - the Connect, Connect:Amp, and Play:5, and there are 3 current players - the Sonos Amp, Sonos Port, and the Five. (Note: additional configuration may be required to trigger the audio output on the receiver) To pass the analog signal along to Sonos the receiver should have a Tape/CD Out, Rec Out, or Zone 2 Out.

Your audio receiver may have a phono input, which means you can wire the turntable directly to the receiver. We don’t recommend any phono preamp in particular, but we’ve heard great things about the Music Hall Mini, U-Turn Pluto, and Bellari Rolls VP 29. If your turntable does not have a built-in phono preamp, you’ll need to place one between the turntable and Sonos player. A phono preamp converts the audio output to line level, which is a louder signal rated in volts.

Turntables output their signal at phono level, which is a low, quiet signal rated in millivolts. If you're looking for a quick overview before you dive into the details below, check out the info we have over on our blog and on our website here.īefore getting started, we need to ask a simple question- Does my turntable need a phono preamp?Īlthough some turntables have a built-in phono preamp, most of them don’t. Thinking about getting a turntable setup with your Sonos system and wondering where to start? We've got you covered.
