How do I use my MEGABOOM with a computer?
You can connect your MEGABOOM to a Mac or PC that has Bluetooth capabilities.
Mac
- Turn the speaker on.
- If this is the first device you’re pairing to your MEGABOOM, it will already be ready to pair, otherwise, hold down the Bluetooth button (above the power button) until you hear a tone.
NOTE: The Bluetooth connection button will blink rapidly, meaning the speaker is ready for pairing.
- From the Apple menu, select System Preferences.
- Open the Bluetooth preference pane.
- Find and select MEGABOOM in the Available Devices list, then click on Pair.
PC

- If this is the first device you’re pairing to your MEGABOOM, it will already be ready to pair, otherwise, hold down the Bluetooth button (above the power button) until you hear a tone.

Once your speaker is paired and connected, you’ll have to select the MEGABOOM as the default playback device in the Windows Sound settings. Here’s how:
