Layman's question: I have an old Pro-Ject record player (gift, unfortunately I don't know the exact model) and only use the Phono Box E to bring the sound to my old (entry-level) stereo system. Now I want to expand the whole thing with the Sonos Port so that I can also listen to records on my Sonos system. Does this work in this setup? If yes, what about the volume? If not, what additional devices do I need for this?

Thank you very much for your experience reports.

Answer

Hi, in principle this should work. From what I've read, Sonos Port has a line-in input. I have connected my record player to another similar Multiroom system with the Project Phono E Box. But the question is better placed with the Sonos Port. I would ask it there to be sure (if you haven't already) if you can hook up your turntable with a phono preamp (turntable brand is irrelevant).
Hope this helps a bit.
Many greetings
