Bluetooth transmitter

What is a bluetooth transmitter?

A bluetooth transmitter is a device that transmits audio signals wirelessly from a non-bluetooth device to a bluetooth receiver, such as a headset or speaker. This enables you, for example, to connect an old stereo system or TV to modern Bluetooth devices. Enjoy wireless audio without the need for cumbersome wiring. 

How does a bluetooth transmitter work?

A bluetooth transmitter works by sending data from an audio source to another device via bluetooth. It transmits the data by encrypting it first, reducing the data size so that it can be sent via bluetooth. Then the data is sent to the receiving device, where it is decoded and converted into an analog signal so that the device can play the audio signal.

How do I connect a bluetooth transmitter to the TV?

It is very easy to connect a Bluetooth transmitter to your TV or sound system. A bluetooth transmitter consists of a small box, a USB power cable and 1 or 2 audio cables. This connects the Bluetooth transmitter via AUX audio, coaxial or Toslink to your TV (via audio output on TV) and supplies it with power. Make sure the bluetooth headphones are switched on and pair the bluetooth transmitter with these bluetooth headphones. That's it! Enjoy your favorite movie without annoying ambient noise. Or listen to your favorite music or TV program without disturbing others or losing your freedom of movement.

Important purchase criteria for bluetooth transmitters

When choosing a bluetooth transmitter, there are a few factors to consider:

• Connections: Make sure that the transmitter is compatible with the connections of your audio equipment, such as AUX or coaxial or optical (Toslink) digital connections.
• Maximum range: Choose a Bluetooth transmitter with a range suitable for your needs.
• Support modern audio codecs: Ensure that the transmitter supports modern audio codecs such as aptX or aptX Low latency supports for the best sound quality and minimum delay. (BoomBoom 55 HD, BoomBoom 100)
• Multipairing: If you plan to use the transmitter with multiple devices at the same time, choose a transmitter that supports multipairing. (BoomBoom 55 HD, BoomBoom 100)

Additional information

AptX Low Latency, what is that exactly?

A common problem when streaming audio in combination with watching images is the synchronisation between image and sound. The aptX Low Latency technology prevents this so-called lip sync problem, resulting in no noticeable difference between the image you see on TV and the sound that goes with it.

To benefit from aptX Low Latency, both the transmitter and receiver must be equipped with this technology.

We have several products in our range featuring this. For the best possible sound quality without delay, use the BoomBoom 55 to stream audio to the BoomBoom 577 Bluetooth headphones. This combination is ideal for gaming!

What is Bluetooth?

Bluetooth is a wireless connection to ‘stream’ audio between an audio source (transmitter) and an audio playback device (receiver), located at a short distance from each other (<10m).

To enable this wireless Bluetooth connection, both the transmitter and receiver must be Bluetooth-enabled and linked to each other (this is also referred to as pairing).

Bluetooth is the technology that enables you to link these devices without using a cable.

Examples of sources and audio playback devices:

Source

• Smartphone/ tablet (iOS, Android);
• PC/ laptop;
• Equipment, e.g. TV/audio system, to which you add a Bluetooth function by means of a Bluetooth transmitter.

Audio playback device

• Bluetooth speaker/ headphones;
• AV amplifier with Bluetooth function;
• Equipment, e.g. an audio system, to which you add a Bluetooth function by means of a Bluetooth receiver.

Codecs

To stream audio over this Bluetooth link, various codecs may be used:

SBC

• Each audio Bluetooth product features at least the SBC protocol;
• Fair audio playback;
• Lossy compression technology, resulting in partial loss of the original quality during transmission;
• Bass and treble may especially sound distorted.

AptX

• CD-quality audio;
• Lossless compression technology, no loss of quality during transmission;
• Much better audio quality.

AptX Low Latency

• CD-quality audio + no latency;
• Lossless compression technology, no loss of quality during transmission;
• No lip-sync problems, for use with combination of picture and sound (watching TV and gaming);
• Audio quality comparable to aptX.

AAC

In addition to SBC and aptX, AAC is another audio codec that is used to transmit audio via Bluetooth. AAC is supported by iOS (Apple, iTunes) devices and is designed to achieve better sound quality than mp3.

In addition to basic models, we also have Bluetooth audio transmitters and headphones that support both AAC (Apple devices and iTunes) and aptX/aptX Low Latency. So, whether you want to stream Bluetooth on an iPad, iPhone or Android phone, our products will work with any device that supports Bluetooth.
