This JBL speaker is a portable, powerful party machine, complete with built-in light show

Portable party

Imagine tucking a music sound system, light display, and karaoke machine under your arm to take to a party. Actually, you can do just that with the JBL PartyBox Encore Essential. This all-in-one speaker has built-in Bluetooth for wireless streaming. Plus, you can plug an optional mic into it for sing-along fun. The built-in light ring on the front syncs to the beat of your tunes.

Big sound from a small box

The PartyBox Encore Essential features a 5-1/4" woofer and two 1-3/4" tweeters for big, bold sound. If you want more, you can wirelessly pair two of these speakers together for wider two-channel stereo sound or just to double the volume..

JBL PartyBox app

Get the most from your PartyBox Encore Essential with the free control app. It lets you adjust the EQ and control the volume remotely. Select the patterns and colors for the speaker's light display. Adjust the music for karaoke. The app even lets you throw in sound effects preset for your DJ sets, like dog barks and handclaps.

More connections, more music

In addition to streaming wirelessly via Bluetooth, you can also connect sound sources directly. Plug a flash drive full of party mixes into the rear-panel USB port. You can use the PartyBox Encore Essential with JBL's Dual Wireless Microphone System. Plug the system's receiver into the PartyBox's 1/4" jack and you're ready for some karaoke duets.

You can also use that 1/4" jack for an optional wired microphone. And there's a 3.5mm stereo minijack input for another compatible audio source.
