How To

The new PartyBoost does not support the previous Connect and Connect+ features. For example: You will not be able to successfully connect the new PartyBoost enabled Flip 5 with a Connect+ enabled speaker like the Pulse 3 or Flip 4. You will not be able to connect the Boombox 2 to the original Boombox speaker.

If you are experiencing sound fading in and out (pumping) or volume levels changing while playing your instrument, this is known as limiting. The sound being sent into the PARTYBOX may be too loud which will cause the limiter in the speaker to kick in. This can cause the volume levels to dip. This is done to protect the speaker from playing louder than it’s rated output, and it likely means that the instrument input level on the PARTYBOX is set too high. Please perform these steps to calibrate your input level and to prevent pumping:

 

1.  While music is playing via BT or line input, set the volume on the PARTYBOX to a comfortable listening level.
2. Stop playing the music.
3. Turn the instrument/guitar input volume on the PARTYBOX all the way down.
4. Connect the instrument to the instrument/guitar input on the PARTYBOX.
5. Set the volume on your instrument to max.
6. Start playing the instrument and begin turning the instrument/guitar volume on the PARTYBOX up. The instrument should sound perfectly normal without any pumping or swelling. Continue to turn up the volume until you start to notice pumping or swelling. When you hear this, turn the volume back down a little bit until the pumping completely stops. You have now calibrated the input level for that instrument. During this step, as you are turning up, if it gets too loud, turn down the main volume on the PARTYBOX to a comfortable level, and then continue.

You should now use the main volume on the PARTYBOX to set the loudest volume for your instrument and can use the volume control on your instrument to adjust the level up or down.

 

NOTE: Whenever connecting a different instrument, you will likely have to repeat this process as all instruments (guitar pickups) have slightly different output levels. This is how you can ensure maximum performance out of your PARTYBOX.

PARTYBOX 110
Software Update Release Notes
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version:  1.35.0
Release Date:  September 19, 2022
Release Media:  OTA (over the air) Automatic Upgrade

What's New

What’s New:
The new Software version will enable Party mode across PartyBox 310 & PartyBox 110 series. 
Stereo mode will still only work when 2 PartyBoxes of the same model are connected. 

It is possible to pair two of the same model of JBL PartyBox speakers together through TWS (True Wireless Stereo) mode.

PartyBox On-The-Go*/On-The-Go Essential*/100:
Connect just the left PartyBox with the chosen device first, with the right PartyBox turned off. The speaker that is connected first will automatically be the left channel. Now turn the right PartyBox on and continue with TWS pairing (detailed below).

*The PartyBox On-The-Go and PartyBox On-The-Go Essential are compatible with each other in TWS mode.

PartyBox 200/300/1000:
A button (L/R) on the rear of the speakers is used to assign the correct channel to the speakers after pairing is made.
In order to activate TWS mode, press and hold the Bluetooth button on the first speaker until the notification chime sounds, about 5 seconds. Then press and hold the Bluetooth button on the second speaker until the notification chime sounds (as seen below). TWS mode is now activated. To disable TWS, press and hold the Bluetooth button on either speaker, or power off one speaker.

Partybox 110/310/710/Encore/Essential:
Press the buttons labelled TWS on both speakers to connect the speakers in TWS mode (pictured in item 2 in the image below, with two speakers on the button).

TWS can be activated and deactivated remotely in the JBL Partybox app, in addition to assigning the left and right channels to the correct speakers.
Once the TWS connection is setup, it will be in Stereo mode by default if both speakers are the same model, otherwise the speakers will be in Party mode by default if different Partybox models are used. You can also switch between Stereo and Party mode in the JBL PartyBox app if two of the same Partybox models are used.

Please note: In order to achieve TWS mode, the speaker must be the same model with the exception of the PartyBox 200 & PartyBox 300, and PartyBox On-The-Go & PartyBox On-The-Go Essential which can be paired together via TWS. You cannot achieve TWS with a PartyBox 1000 and a PartyBox 300. You cannot achieve TWS with a PartyBox 100 and PartyBox 200. However, it is possible to connect a maximum of two of either the JBL PartyBox app compatible models (PartyBox 110, 120, 310, 320, 710, Encore or Encore Essential) together in Party mode - the two speakers then do not need to be the same model, but Stereo mode will not be possible.

To charge the PartyLight Stick you need a charger with at least 5V/2A output. You can use the PartyLight Stick while it's charging.

The playtime for the PartyLight Stick is up to 8 hours. The playtime can vary depending on light, brightness, music, and environmental conditions. The playtime will also decrease if the backlight is turned on as this consumes more energy.

You can always check the battery level by pressing the power button twice. The white light on the PartyLight Stick will indicate the battery level. A red light indicates the battery level is low.

The JBL Quantum 350 Wireless headset is compatible via 2.4GHz wireless connection with:

• PC
• PlayStation
• Mac
• Nintendo Switch.

The JBL Quantum 100 is compatible with PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, Mobile, Mac and VR.

The JBL Quantum 200 is compatible with PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, Mobile, Mac and VR.

This product supports up to 10 hours of audio playtime. Please note that battery life may vary depending on volume level and content. 

The compatibility for JBL Quantum models on PlayStation 5 is the same as it is for PlayStation 4 models.
 All JBL Quantum headset models work through 3.5mm audio jack (aux) connected to the PlayStation controller. USB models will also work on PlayStation. In addition, the wireless models works wirelessly when connected to the 2.4GHz USB dongle.

Please note: JBL QuantumENGINE is only available on PC. Custom lighting can be set up on PC, and will carry over when connected with USB cable or 2.4GHz USB dongle. 

Press and hold the power button located on the RIGHT ear cup. Make sure that the device is on and in Bluetooth range. If this is the first time connecting the device, it will automatically go into pairing mode. You will notice the LED light alternate between blue and white as it searches for a device to connect to. The headphones should pop up on your list of discoverable devices within 3-5 seconds, and connect.

Locate the power button on the back of the right ear cup. Gently slide the spring loaded power button up and release. Once turned on, it will display a solid white light. If this is your first time powering on the device it should automatically go into pairing mode, and will display a fast blinking blue light. Make sure the device you are attempting to connect to is in search mode. The headphones should pop up on your list of discoverable devices within 3-5 seconds, and connect. If you are attempting to pair to a different device, make sure headphones are turned on, and press and hold the Bluetooth button located at the bottom of the right ear cup. The headphone should display on your new device within 3-5 seconds on your list of discoverable devices.

To increase battery life on your Quantum headphones, turn off your RGB lighting as this will help increase the wireless playback time. You can turn off the RGB in the QuantumENGINE or press and hold the mute button on the headset. 

Only the primary speaker prompts the user when pressing the association button. This does not happen when the same is done on the secondary speaker. However, the front panel LED blinks quickly, indicating that association process is taking place. (This applies to primary and secondary speakers both.)

The Recommended Retail Price (RRP) is a pricing suggestion provided by the manufacturer or supplier of a product. It indicates the price at which the manufacturer suggests the product should be sold in the retail market. The RRP is often used as a reference point for consumers and retailers.

Retailers are not bound to sell products at the RRP. Retailers may choose to sell the product at a higher or lower price depending on various factors, including market conditions and promotional strategies.

The JBL web shop always introduces new products at the RRP but may deviate from the RRP after introduction depending on the factors described above.

When a promotion is shown, the crossed-out reference price and/or the savings percentage are based on the lowest price listed on the JBL web shop in the 30 days prior to the promotion.

Reset the Soundbar by the same process as when doing "reset remote settings": 1. Switch the SB 350 ON. 2. Press and hold the Surround and Volume (–) buttons simultaneously for about 3-4 seconds, then let go. The Source selection Button flashes amber, followed by the power button and source buttons flashing several times. 3. The soundbar is now reset.

The intensity of the light show is dependent on the amount of audio signal being sent into the unit.

If you are experiencing a light show that doesn't move around very much, it is likely that you are not using a feature on your phone called Bluetooth Absolute Volume*. This means that the volume of your phone/tablet/device is controlled independently from the volume of the speaker.

So, if you have the Pulse 4 set to maximum volume or close to it, but the volume on your device is set at a low level, the light show will show little to no effect. All you have to do is reverse it. Turn up the volume on the device to the maximum and set the Pulse 4 to the desired volume. This will send the correct level to the speaker and the light show will show plenty of effect. This also benefits the sonic quality as well. Therefore, we recommend always having the volume on your device turned up to a high level and then adjusting the volume level on the speaker itself. This way you'll be able to enjoy the light show while also getting good audio quality. Or, if possible, setup your device for Bluetooth Absolute Volume*.

*BLUETOOTH ABSOLUTE VOLUME: Most phones/tablets/devices now use Bluetooth Absolute Volume (a.k.a. volume sync) by default. This is a feature that synchronizes the volumes of the device and the speaker, and allows the speaker volume to be controlled by changing the volume on either the device or the speaker. The volume being sent from the device is fixed at full volume.

A new firmware version has been released for the Pulse 4 (Version 0.5.1.0), below is a list of the improvements:

1. Supports Bluetooth 5.1 profile.
2. Improves the stability of stereo setup using the JBL Portable* app.
3. Improves compatibility with Mac computers.
4. Enhances light show synchronization with music.

The firmware update is installed as an OTA update:

1. Download and install the JBL Portable* app from the Google Play/App Store.
2. Connect your Pulse 4 to your phone/tablet through Bluetooth.
3. Open the JBL Portable app and wait for the Pulse 4 to appear.
4. On the Pulse 4 screen, select settings (gear cog symbol).
5. Proceed with installing the firmware update.

*JBL Portable is the new name for the JBL Connect app, the name will change in January 2021.
