it was released but not working, so forget EQ

This would depend on how big the area. We would recommend getting a bigger speaker to make sure the sound is able to cover the place, like our JBL Boombox series or JBL PartyBox series.

Just avoid very hot hot tubs and soap, as heat and soapy water can damage the speaker. Soap decreases the viscosity of water, I killed a 100 meter water resistant watch by showering without and washing it with soapy water. Bubble bath, for example, should be avoided if possible and rinsed immediately if you drop it in there by accident.

I ended up leaving the Iphone hooked up all night to the speaker, them I turned the power off and back on several times while it was blutoothed to my Iphone and then it didnt have any problem this morning downloading the update, maybe turning my phone and apeaker off then back on several times made the difference.

Although turned to 60 hertz, this speaker can play down to 44 htz. The main drivers react down to 36 or 35 Hertz, but it isn't audible because the box is not tuned to such low frequency. Such a small speaker rarely can audibly play notes lower than 35 htz because the size of the speaker is too small to move enough air for your ears to hear, as your ears are less sensitive to lower frequencies and the power required increases exponentially. If it was capable of playing music so deep, it may have trouble with battery life, driver endurance, passive radiator endurance, and trouble playing higher bass notes from 50-90 htz. No speaker on the market gets 20 hertz at this small size. Speakers that claim such sensitivity are not actually reproducing the sound and a test at those frequencies can prove it. I do not work for JBL.

It is out now is US and Europe
