Rechargeable Batteries

MXW lithium-ion rechargeable batteries use advanced chemistry that maximizes transmitter runtime. Power management from

the control software provides detailed visibility to critical battery parameters such as charge status, battery capacity, and cycle

count.

Batteries charge to 50% capacity in one hour and to full capacity in two hours using the MXW Networked Charging Station.

Networked Charging Station (NCS)

Slide the transmitter into the charging slot until it secures into place. The charge LEDs illuminate when the charge cycle begins.

Regardless of Group association or network connection, any microphone can recharge in any NCS.

Handheld, boundary and bodypack: use the main vertical slots in the recessed bays.

Gooseneck base: uses the top row's horizontal connectors. (Not included on two-channel chargers).

Charge Status LEDs

Each charger channel has a row of LEDs that illuminate to indicate the microphone battery charge level:
