Explains the JBL Wonderboom Bluetooth Speaker How to Connect 2 of them procedure, so that they both play the same audio content from one source device. In this demo, we use one JBL Wonderboom Bluetooth Speaker 1, and one JBL Wonderboom Bluetooth Speaker 2 to show how connecting 2 JBL Wonderboom Bluetooth Speaker units works. You can indeed mix and match.
JBL Wonderboom Bluetooth Speaker How to Connect 2: Step by Step
1. Power Up Both JBL Wonderboom Bluetooth Speaker Units
We show the Power buttons on each of our JBL Wonderboom Bluetooth Speaker models in the next pictures.
Press and release 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 Bluetooth Speaker, and again, wait for it to come on.
2. Connect the First JBL Wonderboom Bluetooth Speaker with a Phone or Other Bluetooth Device
In this demo, we’ll first link the JBL Wonderboom Bluetooth Speaker 1 speaker with our iPad Air tablet. Now perhaps you’re not sure how to connect your JBL Wonderboom Bluetooth Speaker to a Bluetooth source device. If so, then see our How to Pair 1 JBL Wonderboom Bluetooth Speaker 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 JBL Wonderboom Bluetooth Speaker you just connected with your BT source device. Hold until the speaker makes a connect sound and the pairing lamp starts fast-flashing. Here, our first speaker is the original JBL Wonderboom Bluetooth Speaker (the first version of this series). And in the following picture, we show where to press.
4. Press the Play / Pause Button on the Second Speaker
Next, press and release the middle area of the second JBL Wonderboom Bluetooth Speaker. Here, ours is the second version (Wonderboom 2). And in the next picture, we show where to press.
The speaker then makes a ready-to-connect sound. Also the pairing light just above the center button blinks briefly. Then, once this speaker connects with the first JBL Wonderboom Bluetooth Speaker, its pairing lamp glows steadily.
5. Done !
Both JBL Wonderboom Bluetooth Speakers now share a connection. Thus, when you play audio on your source device, you’ll now hear it through both speakers.
Note that each JBL Wonderboom Bluetooth Speaker provides stereo sound. Furthermore this holds true even when you have two linked to each other. That is, each speaker provides stereo whether or not it connects to another. Thus it’s not the case that the first JBL Wonderboom Bluetooth Speaker plays the left channel and the second plays the right. Both JBL Wonderboom Bluetooth Speaker units play both channels, in stereo, in fact.
JBL Wonderboom Bluetooth Speaker How to Connect 2: Breaking that Connection
To break the connection between these, simply power down the second one. After that, the first one (the one that you connected with your Bluetooth device) continues playing.
Now powering down the first one will also break the connection between it and the second speaker. Then the second one will stop playing. But this also breaks the link with the source BT device. So powering OFF the first speaker stops BOTH speakers. But the second one will still be ON until you turn it off.
