Can wall sockets abroad have voltage that speakers can't handle?


Bit of an exotic scenario.

So if I'd bring my speakers to a foreign country, which is a scenario I'm facing, expat in India, could there generally be a problem that taht country is using different voltage which could be harmful? Or are electricity standards kind of "international" and there should generally be no problem with modern tech?

Yes. But then you will tend to find plugging the speakers into the wall harmful just about everywhere. Plug them into the amp and they will be fine.

Generally speaking, yes, you can use speakers in pretty much everywhere. I think you might have to look out for what kind of adapter you use, they are not only there for making plug fit to the socket.

Regarding voltage, I would check online, different countries have different ranges, but I think India should be well within western standards.

You should then check on your power adapter for the voltage

or for the logo of certification (by that I mean those funny looking symbols, often with letters, which depict if a product is free for use and sale in a country, India apparently looks like this (scroll down) : https://www.certification-india.com/en/bis/bis-certification-process/)


Are you talking about powered speakers, or passive ones that you drive with an amp/receiver?  The latter should work fine, hooked up to an amp but the former might require an adapter and  a check on local voltages, as noted above.
