Explains the UE Wonderboom pair two speakers routine, so that they both play the same audio content from one source device. In this demo, we use one UE Wonderboom 1, and one UE Wonderboom 2 to show how pairing two of these works. You can indeed mix and match.
UE Wonderboom Pair Two Speakers: Step by Step
1. Power Up Both UE Wonderbooms
We show the Power buttons on each of our UE Wonderbooms 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 UE Wonderboom, and again, wait for it to come on.
2. Pair the First UE Wonderboom with a Phone or Other Bluetooth Device
In this demo, we’ll first link the UE Wonderboom 1 speaker with our iPad Air tablet. Now perhaps you’re not sure how to pair your UE Wonderboom to a Bluetooth source device. If so, then see our How to Pair 1 UE Wonderboom Speaker post for details.
3. Press and Release the Play / Pause Button on the First Speaker to Continue with UE Wonderboom Pair Two Speakers
Next, press the middle (Play / Pause) area of the UE Wonderboom you just paired with your BT source device. Hold until the speaker makes a pairing sound and the Bluetooth lamp starts fast-flashing. Here, our first speaker is the original UE Wonderboom (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 UE Wonderboom
Next, press and release the middle area of the second UE Wonderboom. 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-pair sound. Also the Bluetooth light just above the center button blinks briefly. Then, once this speaker pairs with the first UE Wonderboom, its Bluetooth lamp glows steadily.
5. Done with UE Wonderboom Pair Two Speakers !
Your two UE Wonderbooms now share a connection. Thus, when you play audio on your source device, you’ll now hear it through both UE Wonderbooms.
Note that each UE Wonderboom provides stereo sound. Furthermore this holds true even when you have two of them joined 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 UE Wonderboom plays the left channel and the second plays the right. Both UE Wonderbooms play both channels, in stereo, in fact.
Ending That Pairing
To break the connection between the two UE Wonderbooms, 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 one will also break the link 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.
