    Buttons changed 2013.  gen1 to gen2 Connect and Connect Amp was in 2015.  So mute means gen 1, play/pause could be either.

    Depends on when you purchased it.   If you login your account at www.sonos.com and go to your account and then click on system.  You will see a full listing of all the sonos equipment you have and it will tell you it is either “Modern Product” or say “End of Product Updates” beside it to tell you if legacy or not.

    Here you can see mine - which is obviously a Gen:1 legacy product and not modern version

    Yes, that would mean it's a gen 1.

    I actually upgraded mine to a Sonos Amp last year ….. I’m not kidding the new Sonos Amp is a major upgrade!

      I am right in saying that the Gen 1 Connect and Amp have a pause button on the fron and the Gen2 have a Pause/Play button?

        I have a brand new boxed Connect Amp - the numbers prior to serial number are 1411 so I presume this means November 2014.  It has a Mute button rather than play/pause - can I presume this is a Gen1?  Does anyone have a definitive answer?!

        Yes, Gen 1.
