Pairing two Sony SRS-XB23 speakers allows you to form a stereo (L + R) set, for a wider soundstage. So in this piece, we show how pairing two copies of this speaker together works. The only extra cost is that you must have two XB23s to get the stereo sound. Now individually, the XB 23 is itself a stereo speaker. E.g. It has two drivers, one for the left channel and one for the right. And you can indeed get a decent stereo soundstage from one speaker. Just stay close to it. But when pairing two of these in a set, you can further spread the channels for louder wider stereo sound.
Finally, when the speakers pair together, each announces which stereo channel it will play (left or right).
Note that this speaker serves as the primary one in the stereo set. In fact, when you pair your source BT device with it, it’s the one that announces, “Bluetooth connected.” So this speaker is the one you would work to answer a call by pressing the Play-Pause-Phone button.
Also, the speakers will remain in ST PAIR mode even after you turn them off. This just means that the next time you turn one ON, it will try to connect to the other. Plus if both speakers are in Bluetooth standby mode, then turning on one also turns on the other. And should either speaker not find the other after one (1) minute, then it goes back to single speaker mode.
Briefly press the ST PAIR button on either speaker. Then the one that was the left channel becomes the right channel. And the one that was the right channel becomes the left channel.
To end this speaker tethering, briefly press the ST PAIR button on one of them. The ST PAIR lights on both speakers then go out. Finally the speaker then emits a long beep.
The stereo pairing ends now.
