Explains how to connect Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 together so that they play the same audio content from one source device. In this demo, we use one Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 1, and one Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 2 to show how connecting 2 Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1s works. You can indeed mix and match.
How to Connect Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 Together: Step by Step
1. Power Up Both Units
We show the Power buttons on each of our Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1s in the next pictures.
Press and release the Power button on the first one, and await the power-ON sound.
Then, press and release the Power button on the second Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1, and again, wait for it to come on.
2. Connect the First Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 with a Phone or Other Bluetooth Device
In this demo, we’ll first link the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 1 speaker with our iPad Air tablet. Now perhaps you’re not sure how to connect your Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 to a Bluetooth source device. If so, then see our How to Pair 1 Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 Speaker post for details.
3. Press and Release the Play / Pause Button on the First Speaker to Continue with How to Connect Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 Together
Next, press the middle (Play / Pause) area of the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 you just connected with your BT source device. Hold until the speaker makes a connect sound and the pairing lamp starts fast-flashing. Here, our first speaker is the original Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 (the first version of this series). And in the following picture, we show where to press.
4. Press the Play / Pause Button on the Second Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1
Next, press and release the middle area of the second Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1. Here, ours is the second version (Wonderboom 2). And in the next picture, we show where to press.
The speaker then makes a ready-to-connect sound. Also the pairing light just above the center button blinks briefly. Then, once this speaker connects with the first Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1, its pairing lamp glows steadily.
5. Done !
Both Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1s now share a connection. Thus, when you play audio on your source device, you’ll now hear it through both.
Note that each Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 provides stereo sound. Furthermore this holds true even when you have two linked to each other. That is, each speaker provides stereo whether or not it connects to another. Thus it’s not the case that the first Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 plays the left channel and the second plays the right. Both Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1s play both channels, in stereo, in fact.
How to Connect Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 Together: Breaking that Connection
To break the connection between both Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1s, simply power down the second one. After that, the first one (the one that you connected with your Bluetooth device) continues playing.
Now powering down the first one will also break the connection between it and the second speaker. Then the second one will stop playing. But this also breaks the link with the source BT device. So powering OFF the first speaker stops BOTH speakers. But the second one will still be ON until you turn it off.
