Describes how to pair 2 Wonderboom speakers such that they both play the same audio content from one source device. Here we have one Wonderboom 1, and one Wonderboom 2 speaker to show how pairing 2 wonderboom speakers works. But of course you can also pair two Wonderboom 1’s or two Wonderboom 2’s.
How to Pair 2 Wonderboom Speakers: Step by Step
1. Power Up Both Speakers
We show the Power buttons on each of our Wonderbooms in the next pictures.
Press and let go of the Power button on the first one, and await the power-ON sound.
Then, press and release the Power button on the second Wonderboom, and again, wait for it to come on.
2. Pair the First Wonderboom with a Phone or Other Bluetooth Device
In this demo, we’ll first link the Wonderboom 1 speaker with our iPad Air tablet. Now maybe you’re not sure how to connect your Wonderboom to a Bluetooth device. If you are not, then see our How to Pair Wonderboom Speakers with Bluetooth Devices post for details.
3. Press and Release the Play / Pause Button on the First Speaker
Next, press the middle (Play / Pause) area of the Wonderboom you just connected. Then hold until the speaker makes a pairing sound and the Bluetooth lamp starts fast-flashing. In this scenario, our first speaker is the original Wonderboom (the first version of this series).
4. Press the Play / Pause Button on the Second Wonderboom
Next, press and release the middle area of the second Wonderboom. In this scenario, ours is the second version of the Wonderboom (Wonderboom 2).
The speaker then makes a ready-to-connect sound. Then the pairing light just above the center button blinks briefly. Finally, once this speaker pairs with the first Wonderboom, the Bluetooth lamp glows steadily.
5. Done with How to Pair 2 Wonderboom Speakers !
Your two Wonderbooms now share a common pairing with the source device. Thus, when you play audio on your source device, you’ll now hear it through both Wonderboom speakers.
Note that each Wonderboom provides stereo sound. And this holds true even when you have two of them joined to each other. In other words, each speaker provides stereo whether or not it connects to another Wonderboom. Thus the first Wonderboom does not play only the left channel. Nor does the second play only the right. Instead, both Wonderbooms play both channels, in stereo, in fact.
Breaking the 2 Wonderboom Speakers Connection
To break the pairing between the two Wonderboom speakers, simply power down the second one. After that, the first one (the one that you paired with your Bluetooth device) continues playing.
Now powering down the first one will also break the connection between it and the second. Then the second speaker stops playing. But this also breaks the link with the source BT device. So powering OFF the first speaker stops BOTH speakers from playing. But remember that the second one will still be ON until you turn it off.
