Sonos with a turntable

[SpunkyGlory]

I have a beam, sub and 2 X ones in my living room, and would like a turntable in there as well. As the beam doesn't have an amp, I understand I need either either a Connect, Port or Play 5, and a turntable with a pre amp.

Would I be able to use one of the older Connect models (ZP90), which can be bought for £40 used, rather than spending £400+ on one of the newer models?

I have a Sonos Playbar and an optical switch, the turntable has a phono to optical adapter. This works for me.

From memory the beam uses either optical or HDMI but can’t confirm if this works.

Other option is a play5 As the old zp90 is technically a Sonos Connect be carful if it’s cheap you don’t get the Sonos Boost or old mesh unit. They look very similar but don’t have the connectors.

ZP90 go for a lot more than £40 unless you have a very special source , one thing to keep in mind is Sonos is about to do a big update , and if you add legacy product (like a zp90) you can’t take advantage of it . You can buy record players with built in preamps , I got one of Amazon, works fine and it’s plugged into a play5 .

A Play 5 would be overkill for the room, and I don't really want to replace any of my current set up.

I've found a solution using a Raspberry Pi, which looks quite good fun. So I'm going to give that a go first.

If you have a turntable and third party speakers but no amplifier, you can connect them to the Sonos system directly using Sonos Amp.
