When I connect ONE of these to a SECOND speaker and then to my iPod either via bluetooth or cable...one speaker shuts off. Bridging? What am I missing?

Look maybe in App Store on your iPod to download an app to "double up" the speaker. It worked when I did it with an UE boom speaker (from Apple store)

I have had mine for over a year now. I use it daily and every now and again I have this problem.Usually shutting off the speaker, restarting it, then reestablishing the bluetooth connection works. Sometimes shutting off and restarting the music source works. A couple of times the speaker appeared to be paired to my device when it was actually paired with another device in the house and not the one I thought. Turning off or disconnecting the unwanted device and then reconnecting the bluetooth to the device you are using works. Lastly, there have been times when I couldn't resolve the issue in the moment, so I just turned it off and waited awhile and whatever was wrong seems to resolve itself.

I only have the one - but with just one unit, I get good sound! I've used it in the garage, out working in the yard, working, and under my truck. I'm not sure if you could get two of them to talk at once through Bluetooth, but I'm sure it could be done with a typical headphone splitter. I would think that the latter method may work, so it's a thought.

Once you connect to one, it will disconnect the other. You will just have to pair as needed.

No, I tried, it only accepts one at a time. It disconnects with the present one when you try to bluetooth a new device.

I just got the large one and let me just put this out there in case someone else has this problem. I paired this with my iphone and it wasn't playing music through it. So I "forgot" the speaker on my iphone. Turned the speaker off and back on and then held the "menu" button down to get it into pairing mode again and repaired the two and it started working fine. It would previously take calls and play them through the speaker, but not music. Not sure where the problem was, but it seems to be resolved.Sound quality and volume are pretty good for the money I paid. It feels like it's built sturdy and looks good. Haven't tried the aux out yet. I just got the large one and let me just put this out there in case someone else has this problem. I paired this with my iphone and it wasn't playing music through it.

Idk I only use two speakers and mine works great. You might wanna make sure that all of your speakers are plugged in correctly

I agree with the other comment. If possible, pair with another device to ensure that it is not the speakers. I love these speakers :>

Had to call JBL for the answer to this actually. It will only connect to one device at a time. You have to make sure Bluetooth is turned off on your devices that are already paired as well. Next steps involved are to turn the device on (you should see a blinking blue light). Then hold the power button around 5 seconds to put it into pairing mode(You should see a red and blue blinking light). Then you can search on your other devices to connect. The important thing to keep in mind is if you have your bluetooth powered on to both of your devices it will only connect to the last device used.

I suspect the issue is with your cell. I would turn off both and re-program your cell insuring you are paired. If that doesn't work, to take the speaker out of the equation, try hard wiring it to your cell via the aux port and see if you get sound, from like Pandora et al.

Is it charged all the way? Are you moving the speaker too far from your other device (don't know if it would make it turn off, but just a thought)? Other than that, I really don't know. If none of those options work, try contacting the seller. They do give good customer service.

In my experience most phones will only connect to 1 bluetooth device at any one time. If you are connected to a set of speakers and try to connect to a second set your phone will connect to the second set but automatically disconnect from the first set.

Jennifer, you haven't provided much information on how you are using the speakers. The speaker with the volume control also has the amplifier imbedded. You probably have the older speakers with the bass boost switch on the backside. the older speakers are known to blow the amplifier, but that kills the sound to both speakers. When I have had Problems with just the right speaker it was always caused by the audio cable or Y connector between the speakers and the audio source. In other words you may not be inputing two channels into the speaker input. Good Luck

Mine shuts off too; not even at particularly high volume either. Signal is being fed into the unit via stereo minijack. You are not alone.

Could you have two of your speaker wires crossed? This may sound dumb but at least it's an easy check. I've done it a couple of times and it WILL cause quite a loss of bass from your speakers.

I'm not sure about that my iPhone only allows one connection at a time. My iPhone is the iPhone 3. I'm guessing that the newer iPhones would allow more than one speaker.

Thanks for your inquiry. You may need to turn off bluetooth in one device and then turn bluetooth in the second. This is a fantastic sounding unit!
