Product Manuals
A: yes you can i just did it Saturday stayed on all night plugged in
A: Hi Dwlsing, Thank you so much for your inquiry! Aside from the one that you mentioned. The major difference of the SRS-XB43 and XB33 is that the SRS-XB43 are the speakers. While it is true they both use X-Balanced speaker designs, they are not the same. The XB43 has a 2-way speaker system. This combines a rectangular woofer for low to mid-range frequencies with a dedicated tweeter for the higher range frequencies (per side/channel). The result is exceptional vocal clarity. While the XB33 still utilizes our egg shaped X-Balanced single speaker per channel design. Resulting in great sound from smaller packages. Because of these extra speakers the XB43 is larger than the XB33 and weighs more as well. XB43 12.8 "x 4.8 " x 4.6 " (w/h/d) 6.5 lb XB33 9.7 " x 3.8 " x 4.2 " (w/h/d) 2.4 lb The XB43 also comes with a charger, not just the USB charging cable. I hope this helps! -Carl
A: From the help files: When the speaker is in the AUDIO IN mode, you cannot use the Party Connect function. Connecting a portable audio device or an equivalent to the AUDIO IN jack on the speaker automatically places the speaker in AUDIO IN mode and terminates the Party Connect function.
A: Hi Alan, Thanks for your inquiry. Unfortunately, connecting an external microphone is not recommended as we cannot guarantee its operation. The Audio IN port and Bluetooth function of this unit is commonly used to connect to mobile devices, tablets, computers, TVs, etc. Hope this helps! -Sam
A: Plug in charger included in the box
Q: I have WiFi with Alexa. Can I hook this up so it plays music stored with Alexa?
A: Hi there, Thank you for your inquiry! Unfortunately, the SRSXB43 does not support wifi connection. The SRS-XB43 supports the following Bluetooth profiles for Bluetooth pairing. Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP) This will allow the speaker to connect to devices such as Amazon Echo Dot. You will need to connect it through the Alexa app on your phone. The speaker will then play the audio for the Dot. I hope this helps! Regards, Carl
Q: Can this pair with the older SRS XB-40?
A: A friend of mine has one of those speakers, and we could not get it to pair up
A: Hi runforestrun, Thank you for your inquiry! Unfortunately, no. The SRS-XB43 does not have the capability to connect to the HT-ST5000 Soundbar through wifi in the Music Center. The ST5000 will transmit bluetooth to the XB43, however the ST5000 will not play audio at the same time. You can connect wifi enabled speakers like the Sony SRS ZR5 or ZR7 for whole home audio (not surround sound). You can also create a group in the Google Home app with other compatible Google Assistant speakers and have them all play the same music. The SRS-XB43 has the capability to either Stereo pair - 2 SRS-XB43, or Party connect (XB43/33/23 up to 100 devices) via bluetooth connection. Hope this helps, Carl
