Beomaster connection to Sonos

Hi Beoworld.

I have an old Beomaster 3500 system incl. Beogram CD 3500, Beogram 3500 and RL 60 speakers. I would like to connect it to my Sonos system but I am not sure how. I think I need a Sonos Port but I am not sure about the cabling

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Do you want to make the sources of the Beosystem 3500 available on the Sonos Port (and maybe on more Sonos devices)?

Or do you rather want to add the possibilities of the Sonos Port to the BeoSystem for playback through the Red Line speakers?

MM

Both way if possible.

And Thanks for your Quick respond

Hans

Both ways ;-) That will be problematic....unless you buy 2 Sonos Ports.

What are you trying to achieve?

I would like My HIFi to be integrated with Sonos e.g. PLAY Spotify and to play vinyl and CD via sonos

Not sure I understand why?  One Sonos Port has both output as a Sonos zone, and input from a Line-In.  You might be thinking that it would feedback if attached to the "Aux" port with both in & out pairs connected, but you would have to do something stupid like select "Aux" as the source on your B&O and then select "living room B&O's Line-in" as the source on your Sonos.  (I.e. you'd have to do *both* -- surely you'd notice, which is why I used the pejorative in the previous sentence.:-)  Even so, the delay required for the Port to digitize the signal is likely to head off any feedback.  

[Edit: Haven't actually tried this myself.  Delay is 75msec for Uncompressed, 2sec for Compressed.] [Edit2: IMPORTANT: *** Don't turn on "Autoplay" for the Line-In on Sonos for this zone***, because B&O Aux Out will always be sending even if Aux is the source, and you don't want the Port to switch to it automatically!] [Edit3:<deleted useless paragraph about using TP1 instead>]

Steve, a site sponsor, at the lower left corner of the webpage, can provide either the standard cable for DIN Aux In/Out-->4 RCA male, or a custom pair for half-each Aux In / TP1 Out.
