Preparing Your Speakers for Pairing
Before starting the pairing process, ensure all your speakers are fully charged or plugged into a power source. Turn on each speaker by pressing the power button. Confirm that Bluetooth is enabled on your device and that the speakers are in pairing mode.
Pairing the First Speaker

Connecting the Second Speaker for Stereo Sound
Once the first speaker is connected and playing, turn on the second Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 8. Press and hold its Bluetooth button until its indicator flashes. The second speaker should automatically detect the first and connect to it, forming a stereo pair.
Verifying the Stereo Connection
After pairing, test the stereo setup by playing audio. You should notice distinct left and right channels. If the sound is mono or not synchronized, repeat the pairing process to ensure proper connection.
