Direct Line-In Streaming on Sonos Era 300

The Sonos Era 300 introduces a powerful new way to enjoy Pandora CloudCover — a direct line-in connection from the CloudBox.

Unlike most other Sonos speakers, the Era 300 supports a wired audio input using the Sonos Line-In Adapter, allowing you to connect a CloudBox directly without needing a Sonos Port. This setup delivers a reliable, high-quality audio feed that remains stable even if network or Wi-Fi issues occur. Because the CloudBox plays music locally, it keeps streaming uninterrupted during internet disruptions — reducing latency and avoiding the playback interruptions sometimes seen with app-based or cloud-only streaming.

How to Connect the CloudBox to the Sonos Era 300:

Use the Sonos Line-In Adapter to connect your CloudBox’s TRRS-to-RCA output.

Connect the CloudBox to the Sonos Era 300 using a TRRS-to-RCA cable and an RCA female to 3.5mm TRS adapter with the Sonos Line-In Adapter, then select Line-In in the Sonos app to play Pandora CloudCover.

Note:

  • The line-in feature cannot be used as part of a surround setup.

  • You’ll need the Sonos Line-In Adapter, available from Sonos or Crutchfield. (Approx. $20 USD)

This setup is perfect for businesses and users who want a quick, wired solution to bring CloudBox streaming directly into their Sonos environment.

Sonos Port for Advanced Integration

To make the most of Pandora CloudCover on Sonos, you'll need a Sonos device that has an audio input. We recommend pairing the Sonos Port with our CloudBox streaming device to maximize your experience. By doing so, you'll gain complete access to our extensive feature set, including advanced options like daypart scheduling. This seamless integration ensures you can make the most of our services for a tailored music experience.

The Sonos Port is a versatile addition to your setup. It connects your stereo or receiver to Pandora CloudCover, delivering top-notch audio quality. It's the key to integrating your Pandora CloudCover source with Sonos, so you can enjoy your favorite tunes like never before.
