Sonos products with a Line-In port
Some Sonos products include a Line-In connection that allows you to play audio directly from an external device — such as a CloudBox — through your Sonos system.
If you’re using a Sonos Era 100, Era 300, or Move 2, you’ll need a Sonos Line-In Adapter (sold separately) to connect to a line-in source. Learn how to set it up in our guide, How to Connect and Stream from a CloudBox Using Sonos Line-In Adapter.

Once you’ve connected a device to the Line-In port on your Sonos product, you can start playing Line-In audio using the Sonos controller.
