Features
Splashproof & Portable: The JBL PartyBox Stage 320 is splashproof (IPX4 rating) for safe placement on the deck or by the pool (it can handle light water spray). A rubber cover protects the speaker's USB, Aux, and Mic/Guitar inputs. A telescoping handle and smooth-glide wheels make it easy to transport the JBL PartyBox 320 speaker. There is also an integrated carry handle that can be used to pickup the speaker.
Note: The PartyBox Stage 320 is only splashproof with an IPX4-rating. It should never be exposed to heavy water spray or submerged in water.
JBL Signature Sound: The JBL PartyBox Stage 320 is equipped with two 1" dome tweeters and dual 6.5" cone woofers powered by a built-in 240 watt amplifier for dynamic JBL signature sound with clear highs and deep bass. There is rear-firing port and Bass Boost function which helps enhance the powered speaker's bass performance. Volume, Bass, Treble, and Echo settings can be adjusted from the speaker's top-panel controls.
- AI Sound Boost: AI Sound Boost analyzes the incoming audio signal in real-time while simultaneously using an AI algorithm to predict loudspeaker movement and power response. It pushes the speaker to its maximum capability, fully exploiting the dynamic range for better and more powerful sound. It also reduces distortion even at high volume, maximizing the bass output and overall loudness.
- Multi-Speaker Connection: Multi-speaker connection by Auracast lets you wirelessly pair two PartyBox Stage 320 speakers for a wider stereo sound stage. For your biggest events, multiple JBL Auracast-enabled PartyBox Series speakers can be connected wirelessly for even bigger, louder sound.
Lightshow Effects: The JBL PartyBox Stage 320 features lighting effects that create a dazzling light show synced with the beat of the music. You can choose from a variety of Light Modes (including Neon, Loop, Bounce, Trim, Switch, & Freeze) using the speaker's top-panel control, plus customize the color of the lightshow or have it randomly cycle through all available colors using the JBL PartyBox app (for Apple iOS and Android OS).
JBL PartyBox App: Use the JBL PartyBox app (for Apple iOS and Android OS) to control speaker with your compatible smartphone or tablet device. You'll be able to personalize and control the PartyBox Stage 320 from your compatible mobile device. The app also provides software updates and product support. The JBL PartyBox app also offers playback controls (Play, Pause, & Skip), as well as audio settings (Volume, Bass, Treble, Echo, & Karaoke)

You'll be able to stream stored music, music apps, and other audio content on your Bluetooth source device (such as your smartphone, tablet, computer, or laptop) to the PartyBox Stage 320. You'll also be able to control basic playback functions such as Play, Pause, & Skip from the speaker. You will continue to use your Bluetooth-enabled device for advanced music navigation and to view song/artist/album information. You can pair multiple Bluetooth devices with the PartyBox Stage 320, but only one source device can be connected and used for playback at a time.
