Can this speaker be wall mounted or does it have to sit on a shelf / surface?
Answered by JBL SupportThank you for your inquiry. While you could theoretically place the speaker on a very deep and sturdy wall shelf, this is not the same as wall-mounting. Our JBL Authentics 500 is technically engineered from both an acoustic and physical standpoint to be a tabletop/surface-based speaker. Attempting to wall-mount it is not supported and would fundamentally degrade its audio performance, particularly its bass and Dolby Atmos capabilities.
Does it have a battery? How long does it last?
Answered by JBL SupportOur JBL Authentics 500 does not have a battery and must stay plugged into a power outlet to work. If you're looking for a portable option, our JBL Authentics 300 is the better fit. It features a built-in battery with up to 8 hours of playtime, giving you the flexibility to move your music wherever you need it.
Can this speaker hook up to a turntable that plays records?
Answered by JBL SupportThanks for your inquiry. Our JBL Spinner BT Turntable can be paired with the JBL Authentics 500 via Bluetooth. In fact, JBL specifically designed these two products to work seamlessly together as the perfect audio pair.
How is this speaker's retro design inspired?
