Moving from USA to India with my Sonos Arc, Gen3 and Era 100. India has 220v power compared to 110v in USA. All of these devices specification says 100-240v. Does that mean that the US device will work just fine in India without a step down converter? Anyone in the community who has done that?

Yes. Although I’ve done it the other way, using my USA devices in India. Merely required, as memory serves, a plug changer, not a converter. 

They will work fine as long as they get power per the spec; in parts of India, the mains voltages aren’t stable, so you have to deal with that using an online inverter. I credit mine for no Sonos failures since 2011.

Thank you!

@Airgetlam I am going to use my USA device in India as well. 

@Kumar Are you saying that you have used USA Sonos device in India since 2011?

The only difference between a USA ‘device’ and any other country is the power cable/plug. The actual speaker is the same. 

Yes, 12 of them bought from Amazon USA in 2011-14, and delivered to my home in India in ten days.

Guys, this is such a relief to know. Thank you again!!
