FAQs & How-Tos

While the Partybox Encore does not have a Microphone Input, it does have an internal receiver for the wireless microphone that comes with the product.
It is possible to pair one of the microphones from the Partybox Wireless Mic * (sold separately from the Partybox Encore, containing 2 x Wireless Microphones and 1 x Receiver/Dongle for connection with 6.3 mm microphone jack inputs) - however, a maximum of 2 wireless microphones can be connected to the receiver at a time.
As an alternative, a spare part accessory is available (dependent on stock levels), which includes just 1 x Microphone for Partybox Encore - search for the aforementioned product name or "FG7261JMJ100114" in our online store.
To connect an additional Wireless Microphone to the Partybox Encore, follow these steps:
Switch off the Partybox & both microphones.
Once off, switch on both microphones only, then switch on the Partybox and both microphones should connect to the receiver.
If not, please try the same instructions as above expect with a Factory Reset (Press and hold the "Play" and "Light" buttons for > 10 seconds) instead of the restart above, then follow the microphone pairing procedure:
1. Turn off the speaker.
2. Make sure that the distance between the new wireless microphone and speaker is within 1 meter. Turn on the microphone.
3. Turn on the speaker. The microphone will pair and connect with the speaker automatically within 3 minutes.
*Please note that regarding the older version of the JBL Partybox Wireless Mic - the JBL Wireless Microphone Set - the microphones are not compatible with the Partybox Encore whatsoever, as they use UHF instead of 2.4 GHz for communication between the microphones and receiver (and the Partybox Encore does not have a Microphone Input).

You can use the PartyLight Sticks and the PartyLight Beam with older PartyBox speakers. The built-in sound detection algorithm sync the light with the music from the speaker.
The light also works if you don't own a PartyBox speaker as a built-in mic with a music detection algorithm automatically finds and syncs to any music device that's playing.

The Bass, Treble and Echo buttons/dials on the control panel on top of the Partybox only applies these effects to the Microphone for Karaoke use.
These effects are not applied to other sources or inputs such as Bluetooth, Aux or USB, the Equalizer must be used in the JBL Partybox app for this (on supported models).
Also, if more bass is desired, there is a Bass Boost button on the top control panel (with 2 levels of Bass Boost: Off, Level 1 & Level 2, switched through pressing the button multiple times). This will be applied to the sources and inputs mentioned above (but not the microphone).Was this helpful? Thank you for your feedback! -

It is possible to pair two of the same model of JBL PartyBox speakers together through TWS (True Wireless Stereo) mode.
PartyBox On-The-Go*/On-The-Go Essential*/100:
Connect just the left PartyBox with the chosen device first, with the right PartyBox turned off. The speaker that is connected first will automatically be the left channel. Now turn the right PartyBox on and continue with TWS pairing (detailed below).
*The PartyBox On-The-Go and PartyBox On-The-Go Essential are compatible with each other in TWS mode.
PartyBox 200/300/1000:
A button (L/R) on the rear of the speakers is used to assign the correct channel to the speakers after pairing is made.
In order to activate TWS mode, press and hold the Bluetooth button on the first speaker until the notification chime sounds, about 5 seconds. Then press and hold the Bluetooth button on the second speaker until the notification chime sounds (as seen below). TWS mode is now activated. To disable TWS, press and hold the Bluetooth button on either speaker, or power off one speaker.
PartyBox 110/310/710/Encore/Encore Essential:
Press the buttons labelled TWS on both speakers to connect the speakers in TWS mode (pictured in item 2 in the image below, with two speakers on the button).
TWS can be activated and deactivated remotely in the JBL Partybox app, in addition to assigning the left and right channels to the correct speakers.
Once the TWS connection is setup, it will be in Stereo mode by default if both speakers are the same model, otherwise the speakers will be in Party mode by default if different Partybox models are used. You can also switch between Stereo and Party mode in the JBL PartyBox app if two of the same Partybox models are used.
PartyBox Club 120, PartyBox Stage 320 and PartyBox Ultimate:
You can only achieve TWS mode by using the PartyBox app or the JBL One app.
Please note: In order to achieve TWS mode, the speaker must be the same model with the exception of the PartyBox 200 & PartyBox 300, and PartyBox On-The-Go & PartyBox On-The-Go Essential which can be paired together via TWS. You cannot achieve TWS with a PartyBox 1000 and a PartyBox 300. You cannot achieve TWS with a PartyBox 100 and PartyBox 200. However, it is possible to connect a maximum of two JBL PartyBox app compatible models (PartyBox 110, 310, 710, Encore or Encore Essential) together in Party mode - the two speakers then do not need to be the same model, but Stereo mode will not be possible.Was this helpful?

It is always recommended to use our range of Soundbars if you want a speaker for your Television or Smart TV as they are designed specifically for this purpose, whereas our Portable speakers are designed primarily for use with Phones and Tablets.
Support for Bluetooth connectivity between a TV and speaker depends on a number of different factors such as Bluetooth & A2DP versions and Audio Codecs used by each device. This can vary based on the brand, model and age of the devices, however we cannot confirm if any specific combination of TV and speaker will work without issues such as latency or lip sync delay.

You can connect two of the same Partybox models (e.g. 2 x Partybox 310, or 2 x Partybox 100) together in TWS Mode by pressing and holding the Bluetooth button on both speakers for 5 seconds, or by pressing the dedicated TWS buttons on the rear panels of both speakers on the Partybox 110, 310 and 710. It is possible to pair two different Partybox models together using a wired connection (e.g. 1 x Partybox 310 and 1 x Partybox 100). It is also possible to pair two Partybox different models wirelessly in Party mode, however this is only possible with the newer Partybox models - the Partybox 110, 310 and 710. The Partybox 200 & 300 can be paired in TWS mode as they are the same model apart from the presence of a battery in the Partybox 300. If you connect an instrument or microphone to one Partybox speaker while using TWS, the instrument or microphone connected to one speaker will be reproduced by this speaker alone. You will not hear the instrument or microphone in both speakers. If it is necessary to have instruments reproduced by two or more PartyBox speakers, it is possible to use an RCA or aux cable – connected from the RCA, aux or daisy chain outputs on the speaker that the instrument or microphone is connected to, wired to the RCA, aux or daisy chain input of the secondary speaker. Alternatively a small mixing console can be used - connecting audio sources to this mixer and sending the mixed audio signal to the speakers with a wired connection.Was this helpful?

The JBL Wireless Microphone set allows 2 x wireless microphones* to be connected to any Partybox model ** through the use of a dongle connected to the Mic input. Additionally, a 3rd wired microphone - like the JBL PBM100 Wired Microphone, can also be connected to the switchable Guitar/Mic 2 input (only available on some Partybox models). This will also work when using the non-switchable Guitar input on other Partybox models - however, this will bypass the karaoke effects including echo for the connected microphone and would generally have a slightly different sound character/timbre to a microphone connected to the Microphone input.
*This includes the Partybox On-The-Go, a maximum of 2 wireless microphones can be connected and used simultaneously. The standard bundled Partybox On-The-Go microphone can only be connected to the Partybox On-The-Go that it came bundled with, it also cannot connect wirelessly to any other Partybox models or portable speakers other than the Partybox On-The-Go that it came bundled with. Only one standard, bundled Partybox On-The-Go wireless microphone can be connected at a time, unless the JBL Wireless Microphone is purchased (sold separately), a spare part will only work as a replacement, not simultaneously.
