Introduction
The BOYA Blobby Pro, a professional condenser speakerphone with an
omnidirectional polar pattern, is perfect for use with small and medium-sized
teleconferencing, video conferencing, meetings, online classes, live
streaming, and more. Connect your Blobby Pro to a laptop, tablet, or
smartphone via Bluetooth, USB-C port, or 3.5mm TRS analog port. Compatible
with Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems, it can be used with all
leading conference call services. A headphone or speaker can be connected to
it for real-time audio monitoring.
With a 4-element array and a 3-meter pickup radius, the speakerphone can pick
up the voice at 360 degrees to cover small and medium-sized conference rooms.

talkers to be heard clearly. What’s more, a cascade cable (available
separately) allows two speakerphones to be connected and work together to
cover larger meeting spaces and more meeting participants, providing flexible
audio extension solutions.

How to Use
USB Connection
Connect the speakerphone to your computer with a USB-C cable. The “Blobby Pro”
model will appear on the computer while it’s connected, which enables charging
and transferring audio. 
NOTE:
The computer only can charge the unit if you use a USB-C charging cable which
does not support data and audio.

Press and hold the Bluetooth pair button for 3 seconds to turn on Bluetooth, then “Pairing” will be heard. The indicator blinks blue rapidly. -
Turn on the Bluetooth feature on your device. Select “Blobby Pro” from the device list.
-
Once paired, you hear “Connected” and the indicator lights static blue.
Note:
-
The Bluetooth will be disconnected when the device’s Bluetooth feature is turned off or the operating range exceeds.
You hear “Disconnected” and the indicator blinks blue slowly. The speakerphone goes into pairing mode automatically after about 5 minutes. -
To disconnect a paired device, press and hold the Bluetooth pair button for 3 seconds to enter pairing mode again. The connection can be re-established by pressing the Bluetooth button once.
-
If the connection is not established within 10 minutes in pairing mode, the speakerphone will automatically power off.
Connection with Two Devices
For Blobby Pro, up to two devices (a USB device and a Bluetooth device, or a
Bluetooth device and a 3.5mm TRS device) can be connected to the speakerphone
at once.
Note:
-
After the speakerphone is connected to two devices, only the sound of one device can be played. Sound from the devices is prioritized as follows:
USB > Bluetooth > 3.5mm TRS. (That is, while a USB device and a Bluetooth device play audio simultaneously, priority is given to the audio output through the USB port, and audio output from the Bluetooth device is disabled. While a Bluetooth device and a device connected to the 3.5mm TRS Input jack play audio simultaneously, priority is given to the audio output from the Bluetooth device, and audio output from the other is disabled.) -
Under USB mode, if your phone receives an incoming call, the audio on your phone will be switched to the speakerphone automatically. After the call ends, the USB mode will be automatically resumed.
Cascade Control
- With the cascade cable (available separately), you can connect two Blobby Pro speakerphones via the OUT/LINK port, which ensures that the microphone and speaker sounds of two devices are combined to have large meetings with up to 15-30 participants.
- The one connected to your smartphone, tablet or computer via USB or Bluetooth connection is the master, and the other one is the slave. The speakers and microphones of the two devices are synchronized to one another. The slave’s mute feature may controlled by the master ( NOTE: The master’s mute feature cannot be controlled by the slave.)
- Access a video-conferencing app on your device, then start a meeting.
Audio Output
Plugging your speaker or headphones into the OUT/LINK port to monitor your
audio or transfer audio of your smartphone/ computer on a conference call.
Sound Localization
When the speakerphone is connected to a device, Sound Localization will be
enabled automatically which can help you determine the orientation of the
person speaking in a conference room.
Note:
If your speakerphone were not connected to any device, its Sound Localization
would not be displayed on the ring light.
Smart Audio Processing
The acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) and clear voice capture (CVC) features
will be switched on automatically on a conference call. This makes it easier
for participants to hear each other and reduces or eliminates echo in remote
communication. Also, this will help pick up the talker’s voice while filtering
out background noise such as buzzing, which can help improve sound quality and
make online communication smoother.
