Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
I am unable to pair my Boom Boom 50.
Please check the following:
- Ensure that the Boom Boom 50 has been powered on and in pairing mode state (red / blue LED flashes slowly).
- Ensure that your headphones are in pairing mode (refer to your headphones’ user manual).
- Ensure that the distance between your headphones and the Boom Boom 50 is not too large and there are no major obstacles between them.
- To ensure the widest possible range, make sure your Boom Boom 50 is within line of sight and the internal antenna is not positioned near large metal objects.
My Boom Boom 50 is paired, but I don’t hear anything.
- Ensure that the blue LED on the Boom Boom 50 lights up continuously.
- Ensure that the audio cable is properly connected.
- Ensure that the Boom Boom 50 is connected to the correct audio output.
- Ensure that the volume of your audio source is set to a comfortable listening level.
- Ensure that the Boom Boom 50 is paired with the correct headphones.
My connection often drops out.
If the connection often drops out, then check whether the BB50 is mounted
behind the TV.
It turns out in practice that some TVs may block the Bluetooth signal.
Extending the USB connection, so the BB50 will just come out from under the TV
is often a good solution.
I am unable to automatically connect to my headphones.
If you do not automatically get a connection to your headset, press the button
for 0.5 seconds (the Boom Boom 50 then goes into pairing mode) and put the
headset in pairing mode.
Can I only use the Boom Boom 50 with headphones?
No, you can use the Boom Boom 50 with any Bluetooth device with audio playback
capability. Including, for example, a Bluetooth speaker or a Marmite Boom Boom
90 Bluetooth music receiver. If attached to your audio system, you can choose
whether you want to hear the sound using the audio system and/or your
headphones, or through the TV’s speakers.
Whenever I watch TV, audio is out of sync with video.
The wireless transmission of audio over Bluetooth may indeed result in some
delay (latency).
In most cases, this latency is not disturbing, only some of the users may
experience this as a nuisance.
If you use a media box to watch TV, connect the Boom Boom 50 to the audio
output of your media box. This results in reduced latency.
The sound is distorted by a hum or interference
If you do not use an adapter to power the Boom Boom 50, but, for example,
connect it to your audio system’s USB connector, the resulting ground loop may
sometimes cause a hum. In this case, use a USB power adapter (such as the
Marmite USB power
adapter). Using a USB port on, for example, a PC may also cause interference.
