Are the JBL Partybox Encore and Partybox Wireless Mic Compatible?
While the Partybox Encore does not have a Microphone Input, it does have an internal receiver for the wireless microphone that comes with the product.
It is possible to pair one of the microphones from the Partybox Wireless Mic * (sold separately from the Partybox Encore, containing 2 x Wireless Microphones and 1 x Receiver/Dongle for connection with 6.3 mm microphone jack inputs) - however, a maximum of 2 wireless microphones can be connected to the receiver at a time.
As an alternative, a spare part accessory is available (dependent on stock levels), which includes just 1 x Microphone for Partybox Encore - search for the aforementioned product name or "FG7261JMJ100114" in our online store.
To connect an additional Wireless Microphone to the Partybox Encore, follow these steps:
Switch off the Partybox & both microphones.
Once off, switch on both microphones only, then switch on the Partybox and both microphones should connect to the receiver.
If not, please try the same instructions as above expect with a Factory Reset (Press and hold the "Play" and "Light" buttons for > 10 seconds) instead of the restart above, then follow the microphone pairing procedure:
1. Turn off the speaker.
2. Make sure that the distance between the new wireless microphone and speaker is within 1 meter. Turn on the microphone.
3. Turn on the speaker. The microphone will pair and connect with the speaker automatically within 3 minutes.
*Please note that regarding the older version of the JBL Partybox Wireless Mic - the JBL Wireless Microphone Set - the microphones are not compatible with the Partybox Encore whatsoever, as they use UHF instead of 2.4 GHz for communication between the microphones and receiver (and the Partybox Encore does not have a Microphone Input).
