The key to pairing two Sony XB 41 speakers together is the ADD button. It lets you join two XB 41s for Stereo or Double modes. It’s the button closest to the bottom in the three button row inside the back port compartment.
The Stereo Pairing function lets you join two XB 41s such that one plays the left channel of the stereo program, while the other plays the right channel. Now to create a stereo pair, you need two XB 41s. Pairing the 21 with speakers other than an identical model did not work in our tests, and the Sony documentation states that you must have two of the same model in Bluetooth range of each other for connecting the two as a stereo pair to work.
Now to form a stereo pairing of two XB 41 speakers, do as follows.
As far as your source device knows, this two speaker pairing acts just like a single Bluetooth speaker. So you pair your device to it just like you would a single wireless speaker.
When in Stereo Pair mode, each speaker is assigned one of the two stereo channels (either L or R). Now drawing on our example above, let’s say that Speaker One is playing the left channel, and Speaker Two is playing the right. In that case, briefly press the ADD button once, and Speaker One will then play the right channel while Speaker Two plays the left channel. To change channel assignments again, simply press and release the ADD button. You can do this repeatedly on either speaker until the channel configuration you wish takes effect on each speaker.
When you’re ready to break the pairing (either stereo or double), briefly press the ADD button on one of the speakers. A tone then sounds and ADD lamp goes out, indicating that this two speaker pairing is now over.
When two XB 41 speaker operate in Double Mode, both speakers play a monaural version of the music. I.e. They both play the sum (L + R) of the left and right stereo channels.
Now Double Mode is the mode that the speakers initially pair in when you connect them together as we described above. But if you have since then switched to stereo mode and want to get back to Double Mode, you briefly press and release the ADD button on one of the speakers during the pairing session. Furthermore, keep pressing this button until the speaker you’re working with announces Double Mode. Thus when that happens, your speakers are now operating in Double Mode.
