JBL Boombox 1 Extra Bass Mode

JBL Boombox 1 Extra Bass Mode: How to Turn OFF

By default, the JBL Boombox 1 has its bass mode turned on after a factory reset.  This adds a bit of treble and lots of extra bass to the sound.

JBL Boombox 1 Extra Bass Mode: How to Turn ON

To turn Extra Bass mode back on, then again, press the Volume Down and Bluetooth buttons. Hold them in until the Power and Connect buttons light up.  Then release them.  When the buttons inside the oval island light up, the Extra Bass mode resumes once more.

Warning

The drivers really rock when you activate this mode.  So use caution in how loudly you play this speaker when LFM is active. Doing so avoids damage to the speaker drivers inside. So if the bass is crackling, tapping, or otherwise distorting, turn it down !
