Describes how to pair 2 JBL Wonderboom 1 speakers such that they both play the same audio content from one source device. Here we have one JBL Wonderboom 1 1, and one JBL Wonderboom 1 2 speaker to show how pairing 2 JBL Wonderboom 1 speakers works. But of course you can also pair two JBL Wonderboom 1 1’s or two JBL Wonderboom 1 2’s.
JBL Wonderboom 1 Pairing Two Speakers: Step by Step
1. Power Up Both Speakers
We show the Power buttons on each of our JBL Wonderboom 1s 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 JBL Wonderboom 1, and again, wait for it to come on.
2. JBL Wonderboom 1 Pairing Two Speakers: Pair the First with a Source Device
In this demo, we’ll first link the JBL Wonderboom 1 1 speaker with our iPad Air tablet. Now maybe you’re not sure how to connect your JBL Wonderboom 1 to a Bluetooth device. If you are not, then see our How to Pair JBL Wonderboom 1 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 JBL Wonderboom 1 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 JBL Wonderboom 1 (the first version of this series).
4. Press the Play / Pause Button on the Second JBL Wonderboom 1
Next, press and release the middle area of the second JBL Wonderboom 1. In this scenario, ours is the second version of the JBL Wonderboom 1 (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 JBL Wonderboom 1, the Bluetooth lamp glows steadily.
5. Done with How to JBL Wonderboom 1 Pairing Two Speakers !
Your two JBL Wonderboom 1s 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 JBL Wonderboom 1 speakers.
Note that each JBL Wonderboom 1 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 JBL Wonderboom 1. Thus the first JBL Wonderboom 1 does not play only the left channel. Nor does the second play only the right. Instead, both JBL Wonderboom 1s play both channels, in stereo, in fact.
JBL Wonderboom 1 Pairing 2 Speakers: Breaking the Connection
To break the pairing between the two JBL Wonderboom 1 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 of the speakers 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.
