Connecting a turntable to Sonos Arc Ultra

A vinyl lover's walkthrough to connect a turntable to a Sonos Arc Ultra system: Bluetooth, Era 100, or Sonos Amp.

For a while now, I've had the same idea stuck in my head: what if I went back to basics and started a small vinyl collection with my favorite albums?

In the middle of all-digital everything, I missed the physical, tangible feel of vinyl more than I expected.

At home, I'm lucky to have a Sonos system in the living room:

• Sonos Arc Ultra (which just replaced my Sonos Beam Gen 1)
• Sonos One x2 as surrounds
• Sub Mini

Since installing the Sonos Arc Ultra, one simple question kept coming up:

"Can I listen to my vinyl records on my whole Sonos system?"

Short answer: yes.
Long answer: yes, but not in just one way.

Sonos Arc Ultra and vinyl: the starting point

First thing to know: the Sonos Arc Ultra has no wired audio input.
No RCA, no jack.

So if you imagined plugging your turntable straight into the soundbar... nope.

But there is a key update: the Sonos Arc Ultra supports Bluetooth.
(and I had no idea when I bought it in late 2025)

That changes a lot.

Option 1: Turntable via Bluetooth > Sonos Arc Ultra

This is clearly the simplest option, and the first one I tried.

I use a Sony PS-LX310BT.

If your turntable has Bluetooth (or you add a small Bluetooth transmitter):

• you pair the turntable to the Sonos Arc Ultra
• start your record
• and the sound can play across the whole Sonos system

What I like

• zero hassle
