Does the speaker have a built in limiter for max volume to prevent blowout

Asked by: Acman1992
Our JBL Boombox 3 doesn't have a built-in limiter. It's normal to hear distortion when playing audio at maximum volume, as it is an indication that you have to turn down the volume until you hear a clear sound to prevent blown speakers.

It says 24hrs play time what's the actual specks for that? is that if I play at 50% volume? how much play time would I get at 80-100% volume?

Asked by: sheepish95
Thank you for your question. The battery times listed are going to be using an average listening experience, which would be at 50% volume, with various different genres of music to provide an average battery lifespan. Unfortunately, we do not have any testing results at higher listening volumes since there are a lot more factors than just volume in battery life calculations. Should you wish to receive further support, you may contact the Harman Customer Support team by telephone, email or chat in order to receive direct assistance. Please see https://uk.harmanaudio.com/support-contact.html#ns for further details. Thank you.

Can I connect this Boombox 3 to playback from itself and with multiple Charge 4 speakers? If so how many Charge 4s??

Asked by: Jazzy570
Thanks for your interest. Our JBL Boombox 3 can't be connected to the Charge 4 because these two speakers have different technologies that are incompatible with one another. Our Boombox 3 has the PartyBoost feature that can only connect with PartyBoost-enabled speakers like Flip 5, Boombox 2, Charge 5, Xtreme 3, and Pulse 4. While our JBL Charge 4 has the Connect+ feature, it can only connect with other JBL speakers that have Connect+, such as the Charge 3 (upgraded), Xtreme 2, Boombox 1, and Pulse 3. Both features allow you to connect it to up to 100+ speakers.

When fully charged, and plugged in. does the speaker keep charging while playing music, or does it switch to just ac and off battery

Asked by: Acman1992
There's no harm in using the JBL Boombox 3 while it is connected to a power source all the time. Our products have PCM circuits that manage the charging of the battery. It will automatically go to AC mode unless you unplug the device.

I was interested in using this on our side by side as it is waterproof and dust proof but it appears that the only way to charge it is from a 120 volt plug. Does anyone use this on their boat or sxs and found an alternative to charge it from?

Asked by: Mcavanaugh

Do I need to fully charge before first use?
