Marmitek BoomBoom 100 Bluetooth AptX receiver / transmitter
Send sound from the TV to the headphones or from the smartphone to the audio system.
BoomBoom 100 is a Bluetooth audio transmitter and receiver in the same shell.
In receive mode (RX) you can stream CD-quality music from a smartphone, computer or tablet to the sound system, while in transmit mode (TX) it plays audio wirelessly from, for example, your TV to Bluetooth headphones. To switch from receiver (RX) to transmitter (TX) mode, move the switch on the BoomBoom 100 to another position. Easy!
The BoomBoom 100 has both analog and digital input and output for audio, and supports aptX, aptX Low Latency and AAC connections. If your smartphone or tablet also has aptX (Android) or AAC (iOS), it enables wireless Bluetooth playback in practically CD quality.
To take advantage of aptX Low Latency® when streaming audio from your TV to Bluetooth headphones, the latter must also support aptX Low Latency. With this in mind, you can use, for example, the BoomBoom 577 model as headphones. Lip sync problems are only avoided if both transmitter and receiver are equipped with aptX Low Latency. In this case, there is no painfully long delay between the picture and the accompanying sound.
The BoomBoom 100 also has a great additional feature that allows you to stream sound from, for example, the TV to two headphones at the same time!
