Understanding JBL Speaker Systems
PartyBoost, Connect Plus, and Connect are three speaker systems used by JBL to connect multiple speakers together.
PartyBoost is the newest system with a wireless range of up to 60 feet.
Connect Plus is the second-generation system that can connect up to 100 speakers within a 30-foot range.
Connect is the first-generation system that can only link two speakers within a 30-foot range.
It’s important to note that JBL linking is not backwards-compatible, meaning PartyBoost speakers cannot link with Connect Plus or Connect speakers.
To avoid compatibility issues, it is recommended to get the newest generation PartyBoost-enabled speakers.
These systems work by powering on one speaker, connecting it via Bluetooth to the device playing music, and then powering on additional speakers and pressing the connection button.
Within 30 seconds, all speakers should start playing the same music.
To disconnect the link, simply press the connection button again.

Step 1: Pairing a JBL Speaker
To initiate the pairing process, the user powers on one JBL speaker and connects it via Bluetooth to the device playing music. Once the speaker is powered on, the user can access the Bluetooth settings on their device and select the JBL speaker from the available options.
After the connection is established, the user can start playing music from their device. If they want to connect additional speakers, they simply need to power them on and press the connection button on each speaker within 30 seconds.
The additional speakers should then start playing the same music as the first speaker, creating a synchronized audio experience. To disconnect the speakers, the user can press the connection button again, severing the link and stopping the playback on the additional speakers.
Step 2: Pairing JBL Speakers to PC or Phone
After powering on the JBL speakers, the user can pair them to their PC or phone by accessing the Bluetooth settings and selecting the speakers from the available options.
Once the speakers are powered on, the user should navigate to the Bluetooth settings on their device. From there, they can search for available devices and select the JBL speakers from the list. The device and the speakers will then establish a Bluetooth connection.
Once the pairing is complete, the user can start playing music or audio from their device, and it will be transmitted to the JBL speakers. This allows the user to enjoy their favorite music or audio through the high-quality sound provided by the JBL speakers, enhancing their listening experience.
Step 3: Disconnecting a Speaker Link
Pressing the connection button again on the JBL speakers will sever the link and stop the speakers from playing the same music. This step is necessary when you no longer want the speakers to be connected.
By pressing the connection button, the speakers will disconnect from each other and revert back to their individual modes. Once the link is severed, each speaker can be used independently or connected to a different device.
This feature allows for flexibility and customization in your audio setup. Whether you want to switch to a different playlist or have one speaker in another room, disconnecting the link is a simple and straightforward process. Just press the connection button again, and the speakers will no longer play the same music.
