Speaker for parties (PartyBox) JBL PartyBox 1000

4.6/5 — (45 votes)

The Partybox 1000 is the most powerful Bluetooth device in JBL's line of party audio systems. It is believed that the Jbl Partybox 1000 is the next model after the Partybox 300, but this device does not have a built-in battery; it would be more logical to call the JBL Partybox 200 column its predecessor.

Review

The speaker is supplied in a durable cardboard box with protective foam inserts. Standard equipment:

• column;
• cord for connecting to AC mains;
• bracelet;
• user manual;
• warranty card.

Design

In design and construction, the Jbl 1000 speaker system is not much different from the previous ones.

On the front panel of the speaker, under a metal mesh, there are two midrange speakers (7 inches in diameter) and one high-frequency speaker.

A powerful twelve-inch low-frequency subwoofer speaker is located on the bottom of the speaker, covered with a grille made of shockproof polystyrene (the body of the device is also made from it).

There, between the rear legs of the Jbl 1000 speaker, there are wheels for transportation, since the device is still a bit heavy to carry.

The upper part of the back side to the right of the ventilation window is occupied by connectors and regulators:

• USB - for connecting storage devices and charging devices;
• AUX - for connecting external devices using an audio cable;
• LINE OUT and LINE IN - for connecting analog audio devices;
• GUTAR and MIC make it possible to arrange karaoke or a small concert by connecting a microphone and guitar (volume controls nearby).

The Channal button is also located here, which, when using TWS, selects for the Partybox 1000 speaker the function of the left or right playback channel in the associated stereo system.

At the bottom of the rear side of the Jbl there is a bass reflex diffuser and a socket for connecting the power cord.

There are rubberized inserts on the sides, so the speaker can be placed horizontally. The top of the Partybox 1000 is occupied by a DJ Pad and a carrying handle.

The vertical position of the Jbl speaker is preferable, since it becomes possible to control sound and lighting effects.

Sound

This acoustic device is not only the best among Partybox in terms of sound characteristics, but can give a head start to speakers from other manufacturers.

Using the Jbl control panel, a DJ can diversify any musical composition by adding sound effects.

In addition to the five already built-in modes, you can add 8 more tracks from pre-recorded ones on the go. The volume of their sound depends on the duration of pressing the key corresponding to the sound effect.

Light show

Unlike all previous Jbl Partybox models, LED panels are located not only around the midrange speakers, but are also located on the front of the speaker.

In addition, Partybox 1000 also has 6 powerful LEDs that work as flashing lights.

You can not only set programs on the Partybox 1000, but also create light combinations by pressing the central keys on the DJ Pad, as well as using a bracelet that responds to hand movement.

The LED panel of the speaker, thanks to its intense radiation, can replace lighting sources on the dance floor.

Gesture responsive bracelet

A gesture-sensing BLE wristband is used for the first time by JBL to control Partybox 1000 lighting effects directly from the dance floor.

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology, which implies low power consumption during signal transmission, allows the bracelet to operate for a long time on a miniature battery.

There is a button on the Jbl bracelet that not only turns on the power, but also synchronizes it with the speaker.

The Midi Jbl Partybox 1000 Black music system performs 3 bracelet commands:

• When you clap your hands twice, the first of the recorded sound effects is activated;
• vigorously shaking the bracelet 4 times activates the second recorded sound fragment;
• Each rotation of the hand on which the bracelet is attached switches the light and music to the next mode.

Review of MEGA ACOUSTICS JBL PartyBox 1000

Hello, dear readers of the site Uspei.com. I recently received mega-acoustics from JBL , both literally and figuratively. Just imagine, 1 kW of power ! Something tells me that she will obviously not only come to me. So the review promises to be interesting.

This is the JBL PartyBox 1000 , the big daddy of the partybox family, which, unlike its predecessors, can no longer be called portable. I think you should now clearly see what 1 kW or not even that, 1100 W.

advertising

We also took with us a 120 W PartyBox 200 , a speaker with almost 10 times less power. I'll show you how one and the other sounds at maximum speed. PartyBox 200 - 120 W PartyBox 1000 - 1100 W.

By the way, pay attention to the dimensions of PartyBox1000 , I am 74 meters tall, and she is even more than half of me. And it weighs 34.7 kg , wow.

PartyBox1000 is intended mainly for stationary use at some serious parties and get-togethers. But not only because of good power.

On top of it is a DJ console that applies various special effects to the tracks, as well as cool lighting around the entire perimeter of the front part of the case. A very impressive thing.

For convenient transportation, there are wheels at the bottom and a rubberized handle at the top, so you can drag this JBL with you like a suitcase without straining too much. In principle, it can be placed on any surface either on its side or vertically .

There are special rubber inserts . You see, there is a recess at the bottom, the speaker body seems to stand on small legs, but PartyBox 200 and 300 do not have this . It's not all about the design decision, but about the design.

At the bottom there is a powerful 12 cm subwoofer for reproducing low frequencies with a resistance of 3 ohms. 1xLF 12 cm 3 Ohm .

On the front side, when turned on, you can immediately see 2 standard 7-mm mid-range speakers at 4 Ohms . 2xMF 7 mm 4 Ohm and on top a small high-frequency compression driver, as far as I understand. The resistance of the latter is also 4 Ohms. 1xHF 4 Ohm .

On the rear part, for additional reinforcement of the lower frequencies, a bass reflex was placed. And when listening to music, even at minimum settings, you can directly feel strong air shocks from there. In short, we stuffed this JBL with everything possible.

The acoustic frequency range is equal to the interval from 30 to 200,000 Hz. 30-20000 Hz This is about theory. In practice, it is simply an amazing sound, super deep and penetrating every cell of the body.

We have had a lot of acoustics reviews on our channel. Some were good with sound, some were not so good, but there was always something to cling to. Here I don’t know what to find fault with .

The entire range is implemented properly, I can clearly hear the highs without blocking, and the tasty mids and powerful basses. And so it's clean.

Listening to music in the room, I felt a very strong vibration of all the furniture on the floor, and I myself was shaking from such bass. And if someone says that he doesn’t have enough of them, then dude, I want to look into your eyes and find out what’s wrong with you.

Like its predecessor models, there is a feature called Bass Boost , which, as the name suggests, enhances the bass. Moreover, it has 2 stages , you can turn it up a little, or you can turn it up all the way. These basses create too much noise in an ordinary apartment or house, but in an open space they become a very cool addition.

another one of the same or similar to this speaker via Bluetooth If you pair it with the same partybox , you will be able to voice the full-fledged movement in the club , no joke.

This mode is called True Wireless Stereo . Connects by pressing the Bluetooth on 2 devices simultaneously.

There is also an additional Channel . By clicking on it, you can change the pairing type: there will be a stereo effect or the right and left channels .

You don’t need to do anything with the second column during switching; it will automatically adjust to the first. For information, Bluetooth here is version 4.2 .

You can also connect a smartphone via AUX , insert a flash drive into a USB connector , or use Line In to make a home movie, watching your favorite movies on a large diagonal TV.

The tulips are connected on the back wall, like everything else. There is also a Line Out to output sound to an amplifier, for example. Everything is so serious because the JBL PartyBox 1000 has indispensable features for musicians.

You can also connect a microphone and even a guitar. Their volume is adjustable. I also found special control buttons for the guitar amplifier and micro , or rather sensitivity control. They look more like a connector for some kind of key. Screw adjustment.

For karaoke mode, there are 2 more switches: one adjusts the echo volume , and the other key level . I don’t know what a key level is and, guys, if any of you know, write about it in the comments, please enlighten me.

Next to the switches there is also a button that, when pressed, cancels or restores the person's voice. Again, this is a dark jungle for me.

An important point: there is no battery inside; this speaker is powered exclusively by the power cable that is included in the package. This is another nuance that makes PartyBox 1000 stationary . Before you take it somewhere, make sure you can find 220V in that area.

Let's take a closer look at what kind of buttons and indicators we have at the top. On the left is the power switch, Bluetooth and selection of the connection source - flash drive, smartphone or something else via AUX , Bluetooth connection itself and Line In .

On the right are the volume up/down and pause/play buttons. If you press the latter several times, you will be able to switch tracks to the next or previous one.

At the top you can see buttons for selecting the backlight mode, connecting Bass Boost, Smart DJ and a couple of buttons and switches for karaoke.

And now we have smoothly approached the very core of our DJ console . Those 16 buttons in the middle look identical to a drum machine.

The round button in the bottom row with an icon that resembles Windows selects the sound effect. There are different sounds of drum, electric guitar, keyboards and a special DJ mix .

The volume of the effects depends on the force of pressing; for some reason I associate this with 3D Touch . In short, a well-thought-out thing.

If you insert a flash drive the USB additional samples , which makes this acoustics, well, top-end.

Beginning DJs can find plenty of room for imagination the partybox 1000 This is a cool thing to practice with.

Smart DJ function , turned on while playing a track, begins to play along with all sorts of effects on its own, without your help. She apparently follows the rhythm and is slowly adapting.

In the bottom row of round buttons you can still see a circle and an arrow. The first is responsible for enabling the recording of a track from the DJ buttons for up to 8 seconds, and the second deletes the last or all recorded ones. Well, it’s the same as with the same drum machines.

The outermost button in the row is responsible for selecting the light control mode. When turned off, the backlight simply adjusts to the beat of the music and lights up in different colors that replace each other.

The backlight mode selection button in the upper left corner includes different effects. There are 5 of them: rock, neon, club, fire and lightning . Thus, the backlight simply blinks differently.

In PartyBox 1000, not only the rings in the middle burn, but also the entire canvas of the front part of the case. At some party, a speaker can easily replace any light sources. And it will be very impressive.

I don’t know how you feel now from what you saw, but my eyes burned like a monkey’s. And yet, why is that light control mode in the bottom row needed? This is not the same as choosing a backlight mode , it is important not to be confused . When turned on, the DJ buttons are painted in all the colors of the rainbow.

You choose one of them and thus set the color scheme for the backlight of the speaker itself and the as yet unopened JBL silicone bracelet.

It is included in the basic package. What is this thing? Firstly, the bracelet glows beautifully on your hand while you dance, and secondly, it is able to respond to gestures . Personally, I have never seen this before.

Clapping your hands triggers one sound effect, shaking your hands triggers a second, and turning your hand controls the light. The bracelet turns on here and works on BLE or Bluetooth Smart technology . Its distinctive feature is very low power consumption.

The bracelet will be able to perform its functionality for more than a year on one miniature coin-type battery without recharging. Judging by the fact that there is an open/close , this small power supply will eventually need to be replaced with another of the same kind.

The bracelet doesn't work very accurately yet, but I think the idea is interesting and it has its own future. By the way, it is active within a radius of 15 meters from the speaker . In addition, these remote control buttons control different backlight zones.

A long press on the light control mode selection button allows you to fix the desired color gamut of the backlight. So it will not stay for a short period of time, but will remain until you switch it .

By the way, when you increase or decrease the music volume, the upper ring surrounding the speaker with the help of backlight clearly shows its level.

Probably so as not to accidentally stun yourself or the people standing nearby. This is if you control playback only using the speaker buttons, and not from your phone, for example.

In general, I can say with confidence that the PartyBox 1000 can be a cool purchase for amateur musicians, as well as for big partygoers. This is a semi-professional device with a bunch of bells and whistles and, believe me, superb sound.

Its only drawback is its relatively high cost. We don’t sell it yet, but they promise a price tag of around $1,000. Well, if someone has the opportunity to afford PartyBox 1000 , this person should definitely be satisfied with the purchase.

TOP speakers

When determining which JBL speaker to choose, it is important to understand its purpose. The device can be intended for home or outdoor use. In the first case, you can give preference to stationary devices, more focused on working in one place, powered from the network and characterized by greater power. When purchasing a model for outdoor use, it is better to take into account the availability of moisture protection, autonomy, sound purity and other parameters.

What is better to buy for your home?

The main feature of acoustics intended for home use is the ability to be powered from an electrical network. Let's look at several models that can be used indoors.

JBL Playlist

The choice of JBL speaker is due to its stylish design and 2x15 W power. Powered by electrical power, it reproduces sound in the range from 60 to 20,000 Hz with a signal-to-noise ratio of 80 dB. It has a linear input and a Bluetooth interface for connection. Additionally there is Wi-Fi. The device has relatively small dimensions of 31.6x13.1x14.7 cm and supports Chromecast.

pros

Minuses

JBL Xtreme 3

If the question is which JBL speaker is better to choose in 2022 and buy for the street, pay attention to this model. The device produces sound with a stereo effect and has a power of 2x25 W. The device supports iPhones/iPads and allows you to synchronize with other sound sources. Controlled by phone or buttons. Features include a carrying strap and support for SBC codecs. It is powered only autonomously with a battery life of up to 15 hours. There is Bluetooth 5.1, a built-in microphone and the ability to call a voice assistant. The dimensions of the device are only 29.85x13.6x13.4 cm.

• height - 105 cm;
• weight - 34.7 kg.

Battery

The Partybox 1000 home speaker, unlike its predecessors (Partybox 100 and Partybox 300), does not have a built-in battery, but after connecting it to the network, you can charge other devices (smartphones, tablets) from the USB port.

Installing a battery in the Partybox 1000, to give this powerful speaker system the necessary autonomy, would greatly increase not only its weight, but its already considerable cost.

How to choose

To figure out which JBL speaker is best to buy in 2022 for home and outdoor use, you need to pay attention to some characteristics:

1. Number of channels - mono, stereo or 2.1.
2. Frequency range. The wider it is, the higher the sound quality.
3. Autonomy. It is better to look at this indicator if you are planning to buy outdoor speakers.
4. Power. Devices for home have a power from 30 to 150 W, and compact ones - up to 20-30.
5. Control. Three options are available - from buttons, remote control or telephone.
6. Dimensions and weight. For the street it is better to buy a lightweight and compact JBL speaker, but for the home these parameters are not of much importance.
7. Interface. Please ensure that the required inputs/outputs are present.

It is also worth deciding on the need for additional options - protection from moisture, the ability to simultaneously connect several devices, the presence of stereo, etc.

Knowing how to choose a JBL portable speaker, you can easily decide on the model and be able to buy the best option for your home or outdoors. In the comments, tell us which option you liked, and what other acoustics should be paid attention to.
