Getting started
In this guide, we will show you how to connect your Bluetooth device to the JBL EON One Compact speakers. Follow each of the sections below to get started.
- Bluetooth Pairing
- Update Firmware
- Stream audio over Bluetooth
- Broadcast Bluetooth to additional speakers
Bluetooth Pairing
The JBL EON One Compact speakers feature both remote control and stereo audio streaming, all via Bluetooth. The JBL Compact Connect app can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play Store.
To set up your speaker(s), you should first check for firmware updates. After completing any updates, you can then connect the Bluetooth device to one “host” speaker. Additional speakers are set to “remote” and receive the Bluetooth Broadcast from the host.
Update Firmware
- Download the JBL Compact Connect app for your device from either the App Store or Google Play Store.
- Power on your device and enable both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi/data.
- Open the JBL Compact Connect app and press the Link icon to connect your EON speaker(s).
- Give each speaker a unique name and use the Locate icon to identify each speaker by its flashing lights.
- Press your speaker’s Mixer icon and select the Firmware tab.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to update your speaker (5-10 minutes).
- Once the update completes, touch the Check for Update icon to confirm no further updates are available.
- Repeat these steps to update additional speakers. Do not continue until all speakers have been updated to the latest firmware version.
Stream audio over Bluetooth
IMPORTANT! If your app does not playback audio while in the background, switching between playback and JBL One Compact apps may cause the speaker to automatically switch channel four’s BT/Aux input setting. Reselect BT to continue audio streaming or use an app that plays audio while in the background.
- Download the JBL Compact Connect app for your device from either the App Store or Google Play Store.
- Enable Bluetooth on your streaming device and press the speaker’s Bluetooth Pair button until it flashes.

The estimated required monthly payment shown which excludes taxes and delivery equals the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to this rounding. These payments apply only with the financing offer shown. If you make these payments by the due date each month, you should pay off this amount financed within the promo period, if it is the only balance you are paying off. If you have other balances on your account, this payment will be added to any other minimum monthly payments.
