How to Connect Two Wonderbooms Together – Tom&039s Tek Stop
This article explains how to connect two wonderbooms so that they both play the same audio content from a paired source bluetooth device. In this demo, we use a Wonderboom 1 speaker and a Wonderboom 2 speaker to show how connecting two Wonderbooms works. in fact, you can connect two wonderboom 1s, two wonderboom 2s, or as we’re doing here, you can join a wonderboom 1 with a wonderboom 2 speaker.
how to connect two wonderbooms
1. turn on both wonderbooms
We show the power buttons on each of our wonderbooms in the following images.
Press and release the power button on the first one and wait for the power-up sound.
Then, press and release the Power button on the second Wonderboom, and again, wait for it to come on.
2. Connect the First Wonderboom with a Phone or Other Bluetooth Device
In this demo, we’ll first pair the wonderboom speaker 1 with our ipad air tablet. If you are unsure how to connect your Wonderboom to a bluetooth source device, please see our how to pair 1 wonderboom speaker post for more details.
3. press and release the play/pause button on the first speaker to continue with how to connect two wonderbooms
then press and hold the center area (play/pause) of the wonderboom you just paired with your bt source device until the speaker makes a connection sound and the pairing light starts flashing quickly. In our scenario, our first speaker is the original Wonderboom (the first in this series), and in the image below, we show where to press. eg in the area enclosed by the green rectangle.
4. Press the Play / Pause Button on the Second Wonderboom
then press and release the center area of the second wonderboom. in this scenario, ours is the second version of the wonderboom (wonderboom 2), and in the image below, we show where to press on this speaker, with the yellow arrow.
The speaker then makes a ready-to-connect sound, and the pairing light just above the center button in the last picture, blinks briefly. Then, once this speaker connects with the first Wonderboom, the pairing lamp starts glowing steadily.
5. done with how to connect two wonderbooms!
Your two wonderbooms are now connected to each other. so when you play audio on your bluetooth source device, you will now hear it through both wonderbooms at the same time.
Note that each Wonderboom provides stereo sound, and this holds true even when you have two of them joined to each other. In other words, each speaker provides stereo whether or not it’s connected to another Wonderboom. Thus it’s not the case that the first Wonderboom plays the left channel and the second plays the right. Both Wonderbooms play both channels, in stereo, in fact.
break the connection of the two wonderbooms
To break the connection between the two wonderbooms, simply turn off the second one. after that, the first one (the one you connected with your bluetooth device) continues to play.
Now turning off the first speaker will also break the connection between it and the second speaker, and the second speaker will stop playing. but this also breaks the link with the source bt device. so turning off the first speaker stops both speakers, but the second speaker will stay on until you turn it off.
