What Is the Sonos Port and How Does It Work with a Bose Lifestyle system?

The Sonos Port is a network audio streamer designed to bring the power of Sonos to your existing stereo or AV receiver. Whether you're using an older whole-home audio system—like a Bose Lifestyle setup—or a traditional amplifier, the Port makes it easy to access and control over 100 music streaming services, including Apple Music, Spotify, and Pandora, all through the intuitive Sonos app.

The Port connects to your system via the auxiliary (RCA) input and delivers high-quality, wireless audio. It also features a line-level input, allowing you to integrate additional sources such as a turntable or CD player. Once connected, the Port seamlessly integrates with the broader Sonos ecosystem, letting you expand your system with wireless Sonos speakers throughout your home.

Please note that the Port functions as a single source, meaning it feeds one audio stream to your existing system—it does not allow for different streams in each room unless paired with other Sonos components. A stable internet connection is required for operation.
