How to Pair Wonderboom Speakers Together

Explains how to pair Wonderboom speakers together. Then two of them play the same audio program from the same source device.  In this demo, we use one Wonderboom 1, and one Wonderboom 2 to show how this works. You can indeed pair two Wonderboom 1’s, two Wonderboom 2’s.  Or, as we do here, you can join a Wonderboom 1 with a Wonderboom 2.

How to Pair Wonderboom Speakers Together: Step by Step

1. Power Up Both Speakers

Press and release the Power button on the first one, and await the power-ON sound.

2. Pair the First of the Wonderboom Speakers with a Source Device

In this demo, we’ll first pair the Wonderboom 1 speaker with our iPad Air tablet.  If you’re not sure how to do this, then see our  How to Pair Wonderboom Speaker   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 paired. Then hold in until that speaker makes a connect sound and the pairing lamp starts fast-flashing.  In this demo, the first of our Wonderboom speakers is the original Wonderboom.

Next, press and release the middle area of the second speaker.  In this case, ours is the second version of the Wonderboom (Wonderboom 2).

Then we get a ready-to-pair sound. Also the pairing light just above the center button blinks briefly.  Then once this speaker links with the first Wonderboom, the pairing lamp starts glowing steadily.

5. Done with How to Pair Wonderboom Speakers Together !

Your two Wonderbooms now share a connection with the same source device.  Thus, when you play audio on that device, you’ll now hear it through both Wonderboom speakers.

Note that each Wonderboom provides stereo sound, even when you have two of them paired together.  So each speaker provides stereo whether or not it pais to another Wonderboom.  Thus it’s not the case that the first Wonderboom plays the left channel and the second plays the right. Both Wonderbooms play both channels, in stereo, in fact.





Breaking This Pairing

To break the link between Wonderboom speakers, simply power down the second speaker.  After that, the first one (the one that you connected with your Bluetooth device) keeps playing.

Or, powering down the first speaker will also break the pairing between it and the second speaker. So the second one stops playing.  But this also breaks the link with the source device.  Thus shutting OFF the first speaker stops BOTH speakers. But the second one will still be ON until you turn it OFF, even though it’s playing nothing.
