Feintech ABT00102 Bluetooth 5.0 Audio Transmitter Receiver aptX

Send and receive Bluetooth audio or convert between analog and digital.

• Stable transmission with Bluetooth 5.0 technology, range of at least 15 m
• Bypass mode with converter function for routing and converting inputs to outputs
• Supports multipoint and simultaneous pairing with 2 devices

Use as a transmitter

The transmitter function is set using the slide switch. The adapter is ideal for connecting to a TV, keyboard, or game console. It then transmits the sound to Bluetooth headphones or Bluetooth speakers. Thanks to multipoint, it can even transmit to 2 pairs of headphones at the same time. The adapter is connected analogously via 3.5 mm jack (typical headphone jack) or digitally via Toslink / optical fiber. Digital optical transmission offers the best possible quality and prevents humming because there is no longer an electrical connection.

Use as a receiver

When used as an audio receiver, music from a smartphone is played on the HiFi system or car radio, for example (or enables wireless transmission for conventional wired headphones). You can control the volume, skip tracks forward/backward, or pause using the buttons on the adapter. The ABT00102 supports multipoint or dual-link. Two smartphones are paired with the receiver at the same time and used alternately. If music playback is paused on smartphone 1, music from smartphone 2 can then be played seamlessly. No new pairing is required.

Supported audio codecs and latency

The adapter supports not only the standard Bluetooth codec but also the high-quality formats aptX HD, aptX Low Latency, and aptX. Important to know: the paired Bluetooth device must also support the respective standard. The adapter always tries to pair using the best possible standard. The codec in use is displayed via LED.

The higher data rate of aptX and especially aptX HD results in better sound than standard Bluetooth. That is not the only advantage. Latency is also reduced. This is the time delay that occurs during processing and signal transmission. With aptX Low Latency, transmission occurs almost in real time. This is particularly important for musicians and gamers. When used with television, you will get sound synchronized with the image if your headphones also support this codec.

Bluetooth 5.0 adapter, function as audio transmitter, receiver, or converter selectable

• 2 analog 3.5 mm jack inputs and outputs and 2 digital SPDIF Toslink inputs and outputs
• Supports all old and newest Bluetooth audio devices with SBC (Standard Bluetooth Codec) as well as HD audio formats aptX HD, aptX Low Latency, and aptX for low-latency audio transmission in high quality
• As an audio transmitter, ideal for connecting to a TV or console, transmits sound to Bluetooth headphones, with almost no latency with aptX Low Latency, ideal for gaming, live music, or television
• As an audio receiver, music from a smartphone is played on the HiFi system, with volume, track forward/backward, and pause controls
• Bypass mode with converter function for routing and converting inputs to outputs
• CSR BC8675 chipset, range approx. 15 m for reception and 50 m for transmission outdoors,
• Supports multipoint and dualpoint (simultaneous pairing with 2 smartphones or playback on 2 pairs of headphones)

Transmitter or receiver for Bluetooth audio as well as converter between analog and digital 

With this device, you can wirelessly transmit the sound of an audio source in transmitter mode (TX) and play it back with Bluetooth headphones or speakers. In receiver mode (RX), you can receive a Bluetooth audio signal and play it back on an audio amplifier, wired headphones, or similar. You can control the volume, skip tracks forward/backward, or pause using the buttons. In transmitter mode, these buttons have no function.

In bypass mode, you pass an audio signal through or have it converted digitally/analogously. A digital SPDIF input signal is converted to analog at the jack output, and vice versa. Power is supplied via a USB-A port or a USB power supply (not included). You can ideally power the ABT00102 from a USB port on the TV or player. The ABT00102 will then always switch on with it.

Supported audio codecs

The audio codecs SBC, aptX, aptX Low Latency, and aptX HD are supported. The Bluetooth counterpart must support the same codec. Otherwise, it defaults to the SBC standard codec. It automatically tries to use the highest quality codec, aptX HD - ideal for music. If you prefer transmission with as little delay as possible, you can turn off aptX HD - ideal for television and gaming. It will then try to establish a connection in aptX Low Latency. If you want to use the ABT00102 with a TV, please set the audio to PCM/stereo in the TV menu. Dolby Digital or Bitstream are not supported.
