Low Frequency Mode JBL Xtreme 3: How to Turn OFF

By default, the JBL Xtreme 3 has its low frequency mode turned ON after resetting.  This adds some treble and increased bass to the audio output as compared to when low frequency mode is OFF.  Also, the midrange levels sound like they drop a bit when low frequency mode is active.

You can turn this extra bass mode off by pressing and holding in the Volume Down (-) and Bluetooth buttons for about ten seconds, until the Power and Bluetooth buttons, and the oval that surrounds them, all light up white, as shown in the next picture. We point at this with the green arrow.  Find all these buttons on the top of the speaker, as shown in the picture above.

Warning

The drivers really thump when you switch ON the low frequency mode.  So use care in how loudly you play this speaker with the extra bass, to avoid damage to the speaker drivers inside. In fact, if the bass is ever crackling, tapping, or otherwise distorting, turn it down !
