Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 Connect Two Speakers

Explains the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 connect twi speakers routine, so that they both play the same audio content from one source device. In this demo, we use one Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 1, and one Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 2 to show how connecting two Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1s works.  You can indeed mix and match.

Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 Connect Two Speakers: Step by Step 

1. Power Up Both Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1s

We show the Power buttons on each of our Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1s in the next pictures.

Press and release the Power button on the first one, and await the power-ON sound.

2. Connect the First Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 with a Phone or Other Bluetooth Device

In this demo, we’ll first link the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 1 speaker with our iPad Air tablet.  Now perhaps you’re not sure how to connect your Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 to a Bluetooth source device. If so, then see our  How to Pair 1 Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 Speaker   post for details.

3. Press and Release the Play / Pause Button on the First Speaker to Continue with Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 Connect Two Speakers

Next, press the middle (Play / Pause) area of the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 you just connected with your BT source device. Hold until the speaker makes a connect sound and the Bluetooth lamp starts fast-flashing.  Here, our first speaker is the original Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 (the first version of this series). And in the following picture, we show where to press.

The speaker then makes a ready-to-connect sound. Also the Bluetooth light just above the center button blinks briefly. Then, once this speaker connects with the first Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1, its Bluetooth lamp glows steadily.

5. Done with Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 Connect Two Speakers !

Your two Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1s now share a connection. Thus, when you play audio on your source device, you’ll now hear it through both Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1s.

Note that each Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 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 Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1 plays the left channel and the second plays the right. Both Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1s play both channels, in stereo, in fact.

Ending That Connection

To break the connection between the two Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 1s, 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.
