Setup and Pairing

Follow these steps to connect your Bluetooth headset to the Antank B35 transmitter:

1. Prepare your Bluetooth headphones: Turn on your Bluetooth headphones and set them to pairing mode. Refer to your headphone's manual for specific instructions on how to enter pairing mode.
2. Connect the B35 transmitter: Plug the Antank B35 transmitter into the USB Type-C port of your device (e.g., Nintendo Switch, PS5, PC). If your device only has USB-A ports, use the provided USB-A to USB-C adapter.
3. Initiate pairing on B35: Press and hold either the 'A' or 'B' button on the B35 transmitter until the corresponding indicator light begins blinking. This indicates the transmitter is searching for a device.
4. Confirm pairing: Once the indicator light on the B35 stops blinking and remains solid, pairing is successful. Audio will now be transmitted to your connected Bluetooth headphones.

The B35 will automatically select the most advanced Bluetooth protocol supported by your headset. If your headset supports multiple protocols, you can switch between them by double-clicking the pairing button (A or B) corresponding to the connected headset.

This video demonstrates the setup and features of the Antank Bluetooth Audio Transmitter, including the use of the 3.5mm microphone for in-game chat.

Operating Instructions

In-Game Voice Chat

When using the Antank B35 with devices like the Nintendo Switch, the console's built-in microphone may not support in-game voice chat through a Bluetooth headset. To enable voice chat, connect the included 3.5mm microphone to the device's audio jack. The B35 will then transmit both game audio and microphone input wirelessly.

The Antank B35 supports in-game voice chat with an external microphone.

Dual Streaming

The B35 supports connecting to two Bluetooth headsets simultaneously. This allows two users to experience game audio wirelessly from a single device. To connect a second headset, ensure the first headset is paired, then press and hold the other pairing button (A or B) on the B35 and follow the pairing steps for the second headset.

The Antank B35 enables dual streaming to two Bluetooth headsets.

Nintendo Switch Bandwidth Management

Using the B35 transmitter with your Nintendo Switch prevents the Bluetooth adapter from occupying the console's native Bluetooth bandwidth. This means you can still connect multiple wireless controllers (up to 8 Joy-Cons or 2 wireless controllers) while enjoying advanced Bluetooth audio protocols (aptX, aptX LL, aptX HD) that the native Switch system may not fully support or may have higher latency with.

Performance Details

The Antank B35 supports various Bluetooth audio codecs to optimize your listening experience:

• aptX HD: Provides high-definition audio quality for a rich, immersive sound experience.
• aptX Low Latency (LL): Minimizes audio delay to sub-40ms, ideal for gaming and video synchronization.
• AAC: Offers good audio quality with moderate latency, commonly used with Apple devices.

Troubleshooting

• No Audio / Muffled Sound / Low Volume:
  • Ensure your Bluetooth headset is fully charged and properly paired with the B35.
  • Verify that the B35 is securely plugged into your device's USB-C port (or via the USB-A adapter).
  • Check your device's audio output settings to ensure the B35 (often recognized as a USB audio device) is selected as the primary output.
  • Adjust the volume on both your headset and the connected device.
  • If using a PC, ensure the correct audio output device is selected in Windows Sound Settings (e.g., 'Antank B35' or similar USB audio device).
• Audio Sync Issues (Latency):
  • Ensure your Bluetooth headset supports aptX Low Latency (aptX LL) for the best performance.
  • Double-click the pairing button on the B35 to cycle through available codecs and ensure aptX LL (if supported by your headset) is active.
  • Temporarily unplug and re-plug the B35 transmitter to reset the connection.
• In-Game Voice Chat Not Working:
  • The B35 requires the included 3.5mm microphone for in-game voice chat on most consoles (e.g., Nintendo Switch). Ensure the 3.5mm microphone is securely plugged into your device's audio jack.
  • Verify that your game or console's audio settings are configured to use the external microphone input.
  • Note that the B35 does not utilize the microphone built into your Bluetooth headset for voice chat.
• Unstable Connection / Disconnections:
  • Ensure there are no significant obstructions between the B35 and your Bluetooth headset.
  • Keep the distance between the B35 and your headset within the recommended operating range.
  • Minimize interference from other wireless devices operating on the same frequency band.
  • Try re-pairing the headset with the B35.
• Incompatibility with Specific Headsets (e.g., Razer Hammerheads):
  • While the B35 supports a wide range of Bluetooth headsets, some specific models may have unique pairing or codec requirements that are not fully compatible.
  • Ensure your headset's firmware is up to date.
  • If issues persist, consider trying a different Bluetooth headset or contacting Antank support.
