One of the reasons people use it is Sonos’s high-quality speakers. It can provide a much better listening experience than playing records through traditional speaker systems.
Additionally, connecting a turntable to this home audio system can allow people to control their music collection from the mobile app that can be very convenient.
- Check your turntable if it has a phono preamp, because maybe you’ll need an external one.
- It isn’t recommended to connect your music device directly to a Sonos speaker.

- Connect one end of the RCA cable with a 3.5 mm mini-jack, or digital optical cable, to the output on your turntable.

- If you’re using a phono preamp, try to connect it to the PHONO IN port on the back of your Sonos product.
- Obviously select the LINE IN or PHONO IN source on your Sonos product.
- Now, try to adjust the volume on your home audio system and turntable.

Are all turntables compatible with Sonos?

In order to provide the connection to Sonos, the turntable must feature either a built-in phono pre-amplifier or a separate phono pre-amplifier, which is compatible with Sonos products. In the opposite case, it will not work with Sonos products. Therefore, it’s really better to check the compatibility of a turntable model before you decide to buy it.
