Sonos Power Consumption While Idle

Sonos products are designed to use minimal electricity when powered on and not playing music. The table below describes the power consumed by each Sonos product while in idle mode, measured in Watts. Watts is a unit of power, not to be confused with W-hr (represents how much energy was used in some period of time).
