Can you connect JBL speaker to Echo Dot? Yes, indeed you can! Firstly, the Echo Dot Gens 2 and 3 speakers feature an auxiliary (AUX) output jack.

Plus, many JBL speakers have an AUX Input jack. In fact, most of these are 3.5mm female audio receptacles. So to connect the Dot and JBL speakers via cable, you just need the cable. E.g. A male 3.5mm to male 3.5mm stereo cable. Furthermore, cord lengths of up to fifty feet and beyond work well.

Or, if cabling between the Alexa Dots and JBL speakers isn’t your thing, you can connect them via Bluetooth. Indeed, the process is almost the same for most speakers. In short, you turn on your JBL speaker and place it into pairing mode by pressing its Bluetooth button. Then, you find your Echo Dot speaker in the Alexa app, and from there, scan for new Bluetooth devices. When you see your JBL speaker, tap it, and the connection then occurs. Finally, to detail all of this, we offer several posts below. These explain how to connect Echo Dot to many JBL Bluetooth speaker models.
