How to Connect Portable Speakers
Portable speakers can be attached to just about any music playing device, including mp3 players, computers, cd players and even toy electronic keyboards. Once a person learns how to connect portable speakers, he or she can enjoy the sound of music from just about anywhere.
- Make sure the music playing device you plan to connect the portable speakers to is set to the off position and unplugged. If the device does not plug into a power supply, just turn it off.

- Locate the speakers' connection wire. Untangle the connection wire and the power cord. If the speakers are battery operated, make sure the batteries work.
- Insert the portable speaker connection wire into the music device's headphone jack. Usually a symbol that looks like a pair of headphones marks this port.
- Plug the music player in and turn it on.
- Plug the portable speakers into an outlet. Turn the portable speakers on.
- Test the speakers by playing a song. Adjust the sound accordingly. Turn the volume dial to the right to increase the volume. Turn the dial to the left to turn down the volume.
