Sonos Port, Matte Black
Dust off those old bookshelf speakers with the Sonos Port, the ultimate streaming companion. The Matte Black Sonos Port is your way of enjoying the modern implementation of AirPlay 2 to your classic stereo with the ability to stream from one room to another with multiroom capability. Stream directly from your iPhone or iPad through Siri so you can entertain with a modern twist using your favorite Apple Music playlists, all through the intuitive app. And with many other built-in supported apps, you can still enjoy services like Spotify, Amazon Music, TIDAL or Pandora. But that doesn’t mean your vintage turntable (with built-in phono preamp) can’t find its way into this high-quality Sonos ecosystem. A simple digital coaxial input, along with an RCA line in and line out, allows you to take your turntable or CD player into the modern age. It’s never been easier to manage your existing amplifier; with the 12V trigger, you can automatically turn your amplifier or receiver on and off simultaneously with your Sonos Port’s power.
Think Inside The Box
There is no simpler way to equip your stereo with the latest and greatest streaming content than with the Sonos Port. Create an ecosystem that allows you to have total control from your fingertips, no matter the room and no matter the speaker. Now your beloved stereo or bookshelf or desktop speakers can become a Sonos-equipped device via your home WiFi, or directly from the two Ethernet ports on the back of the device. If you love to tweak the sound levels, you’re covered. The bass or treble EQ levels are fully adjustable to your liking, even if that means one room should sound different from another. Connect to other wireless Sonos speakers in your ecosystem to create a seamless all-encompassing home speaker system.

FAQ
How does Port differ from Amp?
While both Port and Amp offer streaming capabilities and allow you to incorporate wired speakers in your Sonos system, the main difference between the products is amplification. Amp powers passive speakers, such as in-wall or in-ceiling speakers. Port cannot power audio equipment, which means it requires either a powered amplifier or active speakers.
What do I need to use Port with a turntable?
You'll need a turntable with a phono preamp as well as speakers. Plug in a standard audio-in connection to the back of Port, then open the Sonos app and go select Line-in from the Browse menu.
Do I need Port to create a Sonos system?
No. Sonos wireless speakers, such as Sonos One or Beam, can connect directly to the Sonos system over WiFi without Port.
Will Port improve the sound quality of my speakers?
Overall sound quality depends on the internal components of your speakers, but Port’s new digital-to-analog converter (DAC) ensures that any streamed audio is as clear as possible.
Does Port have touch controls?
Port is typically connected to a stereo or receiver with volume controls. To avoid two separate volume adjustments for the same system and to keep control as easy as possible, Port does not have touch controls.
Can I connect Port directly to a TV?
Port is not designed to be used with a TV. Port has an analog audio input, which you technically could wire into a TV to stream audio to any Sonos component or speaker. That said, the line-in isn't designed for use with a TV and will result in some latency or lip sync issues while the audio is converted from analog to digital. Products with digital connections, such as Amp, Arc, and Beam, are recommended for use with a TV.
Can I connect Port to a third-party soundbar?
Port can be used as a streaming source for a third-party soundbar using either the RCA output or the digital coaxial output.
Can I connect Port to a third-party receiver or amplifier to power a set of rear or surround speakers?
Port does not power rear or surround speakers.
How can I use Port without hardwired speakers?
Port’s RCA input can connect turntables, CD players, iPods, DACs, and other audio devices, allowing you to stream vinyl, CDs, and locally stored audio files to wireless Sonos speakers throughout your home.
Can I use my voice to control Port?
Port supports voice control when connected to a voice-enabled device, such as Sonos One, Amazon Echo Dot, or Google Nest.
How is Port different from Connect?
Port is the successor to Connect, delivering richer sound and extending the Sonos platform to traditional audio equipment. Port includes an updated digital-to-analog converter for clearly detailed sound and a 12V trigger, which automatically turns on your amplifier to more reliably initiate playback. Port also allows you to control content using Apple AirPlay 2 and features a versatile design compatible with a standard AV rack.
Can I use the Sonos S1 Controller with Port?
Port is only compatible with Sonos S2.
