Sonos Port - Audio Streamer

Product Description

Bring the power of the Sonos ecosystem to your existing stereo, amplifier or AV receiver with the Sonos Port. Designed for music enthusiasts who already own quality audio equipment, Port adds wireless streaming, multiroom audio and modern connectivity without requiring you to replace your existing amplification system.

Connect Port to your existing amplified stereo or receiver and stream music, podcasts, audiobooks, radio and more through the Sonos app and supported music services. You can also connect a turntable, CD player or other analogue audio source through the RCA line-in and distribute that audio to compatible Sonos products throughout your home.

Sonos Port supports Apple AirPlay 2, Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity, while its digital coaxial output allows connection to compatible amplifiers and receivers. An automatic 12V trigger can also wake a compatible amplifier when playback begins, reducing the need for a separate remote control.

With its compact matte-black design and rack-friendly form factor, Sonos Port is an excellent choice for upgrading traditional Hi-Fi equipment into a flexible, connected whole-home audio system.
