How to use a portable speaker through your phone

The speaker is most often connected to the phone, since this is the gadget that every modern person has. You can make a connection in three ways, which we will describe below.

Connecting with an AUX cable

The simplest and most commonly used way to connect two devices is to use a simple AUX cable, which has plugs with a diameter of three millimeters at both ends. You can purchase this cord at any electronics store at a fairly reasonable price. To connect speakers in this way, it is important to note that the player must have its own power source, such as an outlet or be equipped with a battery.

Procedure for successful connection:

2. Prepare the cable and insert one end into the jack prepared for headphones.
3. Place the other side of the cord into the 3.5 mm jack on your smartphone.
4. A notification should appear on the smartphone screen indicating that a connection has been made to the audio device.

Ready! Enjoy listening to music.

USB and AUX cables for connection

If the speakers are not equipped with an independent power source, but have a USB connector, you need to find an adapter from a regular USB to a small USB. Also, prepare the USB and AUX cables. You can purchase them at any electronics store.

Connection algorithm:

1. Place the adapter in the smartphone connector. Attach the USB cable coming from the player to the adapter. Connect the other end of the cable to the speakers. As a result, your smartphone has become a power source.
2. Use the second AUX cord to connect the device.

IMPORTANT. When making a connection in this way, it is better to ensure that you have a special amplifier, since it will maintain normal sound quality and prevent interference.

There are no universal instructions for a JBL portable speaker in Russian, or indeed in any other language, but the principle of operation for all models is approximately the same. If any of the functions described below are unclear to you specifically for your model, you can always open the manufacturer’s instructions for the JBL speaker in Russian, included in the kit.

JBL speaker control buttons

On the main part of the column, on top, there are buttons, each responsible strictly for its own function. They are made of rubberized plastic, since the concept of this type of product from JBL assumes that they are waterproof.

• Bluetooth. Activates Bluetooth with a short press. Holding the button down for a long time removes the speaker from pairing with any device and puts it into search mode for a new connection, using sound effects for notification. The range of the captured signal is on average 10-20 meters outdoors and 5-7 meters indoors. Once the connection is established, music is played from your phone or tablet without interference or interruptions;
• “+” and “-” buttons. Increase and decrease the volume. Most speakers of this brand are characterized by smooth volume control in small steps, while on a phone or tablet paired with it you can always quickly change the volume of the music being played;
• Play/Pause. Unlike the usual combination of these two modes, the button has one more function during music playback - when pressed twice, it starts the next track;
• On/Off. Works only for these two commands. The button in most models is supplemented with LEDs; it lights up when the speaker is turned on and blinks while pairing with another device;
• JBL Connect. A proprietary function of JBL products is to search for similar devices for their further integration into a single network. This way you can create, for example, something like a home theater with luxurious stereo sound;

How to choose a portable speaker?

If you want to purchase a high-quality gadget, try to understand the main characteristics of the models you like. In the question of how to choose a portable speaker with good sound, in addition to cost, the following factors are important:

1. Device power– the higher this indicator, the louder and better the sound. Remember that turning the volume to maximum increases battery consumption significantly.
2. Emitter dimensions– as the size of the speaker increases, the sound improves, but the weight of the speaker increases and its compactness deteriorates, so you should choose a compromise solution.
3. Frequency range– for standard models, the range of reproduced frequencies is within 20-20000 Hz; for simple purposes, small differences are not critical.
4. Number of speakers– a mono speaker is suitable for cycling and background music, but if you want to enjoy excellent sound, it is better to buy stereo models or with a subwoofer (2.1 format)
5. Battery power– the parameter affects autonomy; a portable speaker for long hikes must have a good-capacity battery.

Waterproof portable speaker

Dust and moisture protection is the most important characteristic for devices that are often used outside the apartment. IPX3 class devices are not afraid of small splashes, IPX6 class acoustics can withstand water jets from any direction. For the most careless people, it makes sense to buy models of the IPX7 category; they survive even short-term immersion in liquid. If there is a risk that a wireless portable speaker may be exposed to rain or directly plunge into water, then you should purchase a gadget with a high degree of protection.

Portable speaker with display

It is much more interesting when gadgets have a small screen that expands their functionality. These portable speakers are easy to use. The display shows the number and name of the track being played, radio frequency, current time. There are devices with an LED screen that completely occupies one of the outer edges.

Is it possible to turn on the radio on a JBL speaker?

Despite the fact that the Internet is full of instructions on how to tune radio stations on JBL speakers, only one model from this manufacturer is actually equipped with an FM tuner - the JBL Tuner FM. It is easy to distinguish it from other speakers - it has external antenna, characteristic of radio devices.

JBL Tuner FM is equipped with a 45 mm speaker with a power of 5 W with a reproduced frequency range of 85-20000 Hz. The operating time of the device from the built-in battery is 8 hours. The speaker has small display and a fairly clear control panel where you can simply configure the radio - just like on a regular receiver. There are five separate buttons for storing your favorite radio stations.

All other JBL speakers cannot pick up a radio signal on their own. However, users often buy inexpensive analogues/replicas of popular devices from a famous brand - and these can just replace the radio. We talked about how to distinguish an original JBL speaker from a copy. The main criterion for determining the original will be the price - fakes are much cheaper than products on official websites like “I’ll take it!” or "M.Video".

How to tune the radio to a copy of the JBL Xtreme speaker

To explain how to turn on the radio, let's take one of the most popular JBL replicas - the JBL Xtreme speaker replica. First you need to connect a wire to the device, which will serve as an antenna to receive the signal. This can be a complete AUX or regular headphones with a 3.5 mm audio jack.

Press the Bluetooth button twice - but not quickly, but with an interval of about 2 seconds. The first time you press it, the speaker will switch to AUX (wired playback mode); the second time, it will switch to radio mode.

Next to Bluetooth button There is a JBL Connect button - it looks like two triangles. Click on it to start tuning radio stations. When you turn on the radio for the first time, you will need to wait a little while the receiver picks up the wave.

To start the setup, press the Play/Pause button several times. The radio will begin to automatically switch and save channels. To stop the search, press the pause button again.

To switch radio stations, use the “+” and “-” buttons (short press). When you press the same keys for a long time, the sound volume will change.

JBL speaker - how to set up the radio, alternative methods

If you were unable to figure out how to turn on the radio on your JBL speaker, most likely you are the proud owner of an original device that does not support FM broadcasting. Don't despair, you can use your smartphone as a radio and simply play the content via Bluetooth.

Listen to broadcasts on the radio station's website

Google the name of your favorite radio station - it probably has its own website where the broadcast will be broadcast. Technically, in this case you are not picking up a radio signal, but simply playing online broadcasts through the speaker. This method has its advantages:

• You don't need an antenna wire to tune the radio.
• You can control the sound and change the wavelength remotely instead of pressing speaker buttons.

In addition, many sites allow you to rewind or skip tracks you don't like, pause playback, or listen to programs that have already been broadcast and have been archived. It’s also convenient that the names and performers of all the songs are signed online - useful if you hear something new and want to add it to your playlist.

Listen to radio through the application

Many Android smartphones have standard application"FM radio". For it to work, as in the case of a speaker, you will need an AUX cable or wired headphones. The program's interface consists of a list and saved radio stations and a wave tuning area - everything is very simple and really looks like a regular radio. This method is suitable if your Bluetooth speaker does not support radio broadcasting. Otherwise, it will be easier to plug the same wire into the speaker and set everything up as described above, without using a smartphone.

Another way to listen to the radio is to download the application of the selected station and install it on your gadget. As a rule, if a channel has its own add-on for phones, it is talked about during on-air advertising. In any case, you can simply search for it in the app store - Play Market or Apple Store. The application interface will most likely be similar to the radio station's website. For example, at Moscow's Radio 7, you can not only listen to music via your smartphone, but also read the news, find out the program schedule, choose a playlist to suit your mood or a podcast from the archive.
