Q
I am looking to purchase this to hold for school events (including outside). Will this pair with all other JBL speakers, or is it recommended to purchase two of these speakers?
kev d  Mar 08, 2024
1 answer
A
Hey Kevin, great question. So JBL designed their speaker matching to only be compatible with two of the same model. If you are going for that larger overall stereo soundstage, it is recommended to get two of this same Partybox.

Q
Could you run a Dj mixer into the guitar input if you run the mixer's RCA output into a single 1/4in jack?

Q
Can I pair more than 2 party boxes together? When paired with 2 will both mic"s play out of each speaker or just the one it's paired with?
jason  Feb 25, 2024
1 answer
A
You can Jason, using JBL's True Wireless Stereo feature. True Wireless Stereo (TWS) uses Bluetooth to wirelessly link two PartyBox speakers together as a stereo pair. Microphones connected to the first JBL Party box will play in stereo through both connected speakers.

Q
I have a partybox but my mic will not line up with the box?
samuel  Oct 03, 2022

A
It sounds like you are trying to connect a wired microphone, and not use the included wireless mic correct, Samuel? If your wireless Bluetooth mic is having issues connecting first thing I would try is some fresh AA size batteries in it. IF you are trying to connect a traditional microphone with the wired input, you may need this adapter in the handy link below. This converts a standard balanced mic XLR cableto the 1/4" plug you need for the Partybox input. I hope this helps! https://www.crutchfield.com/p_979GXP143/Hosa-Balanced-XLR-to-1-4-Adapter.html

Q
Is it possible to connect a wireless lapel microphone to this speaker? We want to use this speaker to do StoryTimes out in the park and it would be nice to not have to hold a mic or use a mic stand.
jonod  Aug 18, 2022
1 answer
A
I think that is a great idea, Jonathon! So you have some options here that may work depending on the specific lapel mic you plan to use. The Samson AirLine in the link below is a viable option, with a 7 hour battery life! The PartyBox On-The-Go offers a 1/4" Mic and 1/4" Guitar input, and most wireless mics will use that 1/4" mono plug for the transmitter. This Samson Airline uses a 1/8" but can be converted with an adapter. As long as you choose one with that 1/4" output configuration, you're good to go! The Mic and Guitar input also each have an independent gain control and echo effect which could be handy. https://www.crutchfield.com/p_899SA2SK1/Samson-AirLine-Micro-Earset-K1-band-489-050-MHz.html

Q
I would like to get a second mic to pair with this speaker. I noticed that the asian countries get two mics. Which mic do I need to purchase to have an additional mic?
alfred  Nov 08, 2021
1 answer
A
The JBL Partybox On-the-Go supports the included JBL wireless microphone and has a wired 1/4" Mic input you can use to connect a second microphone.
