How to Pair Sony Cube Speaker, Step by Step
With your cube powered OFF (power button is dark), run through these directions to pair it to your source BT mobile device. We’re using an iPad Air computer for this demo.
1. Go to the Home Screen on your Source Device
Firstly, press the Home button to reveal the smart device’s Home screen.
2. Find the Settings App
We found ours on the second page of the Home screen, as shown next.
3. Bring up the Settings App
Thirdly, touch the Settings app icon.

4. Go to the Bluetooth Settings Page to Continue with How to Pair Sony Cube Speaker
Our Bluetooth Settings screen displays as follows. Note that our Bluetooth is enabled here. But since our cube is currently shut OFF (is not in Bluetooth discovery mode), it does not show up in the Bluetooth devices list. Also, we don’t see it since we’ve never paired this speaker with our mobile device before.
5. Turn On your Sony Cube Speaker
Turn on the cube by quickly pressing its Power button. See this, pointed at by the green arrow, in the next picture.
The speaker then powers up, and its status lamp glows green, as seen in the next picture.
But since our iPad does not know about this speaker, the cube will not pair with it automatically.
6. Put the X`11 into Discovery Mode
Now, to see your Sony Cube Speaker on your device, place it into Bluetooth discovery / pairing mode. To do that, press and hold the Power-Pairing button. Release the button when the speaker makes two high beep sounds, and the status lamp starts fast flashing white. Usually takes two to three seconds to enter pairing mode. Find the Power-Pairing button as shown above.
