Q: How do I keep 2 synced JBL Xtremes from dropping bluetooth on macbook pro

How do I keep (2) synced JBL Xtreme speakers connected & playing back audio via my MacBook Pro?

 

I have no problem connecting (1) JBL Xtreme to my MacBook Pro & I can achieve constant uninterrupted playback. 

 

If I try to add a second synced JBL Xtreme unit, via the sync button on the speaker, my Macbook Pro disconnects from bluetooth connection from both speakers in a blip of a second after connecting.

 

I can sync the speakers and play content via my iPhone 6 without issue, so the speaker sync is not the problem.

 

If the audio plays at all while 2 synced units are connected to the MacBook Pro via bluetooth, it toggles sound between the 2 units ever 1/2 second till it disconnects after a short period of play.

 

I have tried syncing the speakers both before & after bluetooth connection with the same result.

 

I have tried un-paring & re-pairing the speakers.

 

I have tried pushing the sync button on only (1) speaker.  I have tried pushing the sync button on both speakers at the same time.

 

I have tried pushing the bluetooth connection on only (1) unit, and I have tried pushing the bluetooth connection buttons on both units both while synced & after synced.

 

Any suggestions?  Thank you!
