In addition, the new "Auracast" compatibility not only supports wireless stereo playback by connecting two units but also makes it possible to wirelessly connect multiple "Auracast-compatible JBL products to deliver sound to every corner of an even larger venue.
  Both models have now added "Precision Light," which colors the top and bottom of the front surface in a line pattern, and "Starry Light," which shines like the twinkling of a star,In addition to selecting a lighting pattern from the preset patterns to suit the scene and atmosphere, users can also customize more detailed settings and lighting colors using the dedicated "JBL PartyBox" smartphone app.The JBL PartyBox Wireless Mic uses a cardioid pattern that captures sound from the front of the microphone, producing a clear voice without taking in unwanted ambient sound.
  It uses a 2.4GHz wireless system that can connect up to two microphones with a single dongle, allowing anyone to use it quickly at a greater distance (approximately 30 meters) than with a wired system, without the hassle of tangled cords. In addition, it has a built-in battery instead of a dry cell battery and supports up to 20 hours (microphone) & 12 hours (dongle) of use.
  The JBL PartyBox series is an ideal item for parties, concerts, seminars, lectures, karaoke, dances, classes, and various other occasions that require the delivery of high-quality sound in an ample space.
