About the Shure AXT901 Axient Bodypack Charging Module
The Shure AXT901 is a specialized charging module engineered for the Axient Digital wireless microphone system, designed to efficiently and intelligently manage the charging of multiple Shure rechargeable battery packs simultaneously. Its primary function is to serve as the central power hub within a modular charging ecosystem, such as when installed in a Shure SBC900 charger frame. This system is built for professional touring, broadcast, and installed sound environments where managing large quantities of bodypack transmitter batteries is a critical logistical task. The module ensures that each connected battery is charged optimally, with individual monitoring to prevent overcharging and to maintain battery health over its lifespan.
Operation is centered on reliability and user-friendly feedback. Each AXT901 module features dedicated bays for rechargeable battery packs, like the Shure SB900 series, and includes clear LED indicators for each slot that display the charge status (charging, fully charged, or fault condition). The intelligent charging circuitry communicates with the battery's internal management system to tailor the charge cycle, providing a fast and safe charge. This modular approach allows production staff to scale their charging capacity by adding more modules to a central frame, enabling the simultaneous charging of dozens of batteries—a crucial capability for large-scale productions with many wireless channels.
By integrating the AXT901 into their workflow, audio professionals can significantly reduce operational costs and environmental waste associated with disposable batteries while gaining predictable performance and simplifying inventory management. It represents a professional-grade solution for power management, ensuring that every bodypack transmitter is powered by a fully charged, healthy battery at the start of a show or event. This reliability is essential for the uninterrupted performance demanded by live television, theater, concert tours, and major corporate events where wireless microphone failure is not an option.
