Different versions of Sonos Play:1 ?


Forum|alt.badge.img

I have multiple Sonos Play:1’s, I didn’t actually track which ones I bought when, but I  noticed recently that all of them except one. Most, when turned upside down have a copyright date on the white space that also has the MAC address and barcode. One of them however, doesn’t have this date and the writing on the bottom is a different size than the other ones. Is this one the newest of the bunch, or the oldest?

The 4 numbers in front of the Mac Address/Serial Number are the year and month of manufacture (YYMM).  So the top was manufactured in December 2014, the bottom in September 2016.

You can also check the About info in the controller, it will give you the hardware revision level, I think the version will be A100 or A200 that being the newer version with a bit more memory.
