Shure SBC220-e

A Station Designed for Shure Wireless Ecosystems (ULX-D, QLX-D, Axient Digital)

The Shure SBC220 fits into the "system" logic of the brand's professional wireless solutions: beyond simple charging, it meets the needs of deployments in control rooms, tours, theaters, broadcast, or fixed installations, where preparation, monitoring, and securing transmitter battery life are essential. Its advantage is to combine charging, status display, and network control in a compact two-slot format, while remaining compatible with station chains to support increasing channel counts.

In a range where every minute of preparation counts, the SBC220 becomes a natural checkpoint between stage returns and the rack: dock, check, recharge, and maintain a clear overview of the fleet status without multiplying individual chargers.

Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?

This charging station is intended for users operating compatible Shure wireless systems (bodypacks and handheld transmitters) who want to ensure reliable operation of rechargeable batteries, especially when multiple transmitters run continuously during the same event. It is suitable for sound technicians on gigs as well as integrators, places of worship, schools, performance venues, and corporate studios that need to standardize microphone preparation.

In multi-channel environments, the ability to remotely view charge status facilitates coordination between stage and control room: you know which transmitters are ready, which need to return to the dock, and avoid "blind" rotations that end up costing time (and sometimes a battery change during a live broadcast).

Network, Fleet Management, and Intelligent Charging: What Makes the Difference

Flexible Docking: SB900A Batteries and Compatible Transmitters

The SBC220 allows docking and charging of any combination of two compatible items: rechargeable SB900A batteries or Shure wireless transmitters designed for these batteries. This covers both bodypack and handheld transmitters, keeping the workflow simple: dock the transmitter as is, or just the battery depending on your fleet organization.

Network Supervision for More Reliable Control

Connected to the network, the station provides access to remote visualization of the charge status for each slot. The goal is clear: reduce uncertainty, optimize transmitter rotation, and secure preparation before rehearsal, soundcheck, or curtain rise. In a production rack, this "monitored" approach is especially useful when multiple people work on the same fleet (wireless, stage, accessories).

Linking Up to 4 Stations: A Solution That Grows With Your Setup

As channel counts increase, the SBC220 can be integrated into a station chain: it is possible to link up to four SBC220 and SBC240 stations to share power and network connection. This results in a cleaner setup, faster cabling, and easier supervision, while maintaining a modular logic.

Clear Indications and Storage Mode

Each slot features a bicolor LED indicator to monitor charge status, and dedicated LEDs signal status and battery errors. The station also offers a storage mode: an essential function when batteries will not be used for a while, preparing them for long-term storage under optimal conditions.

Charge Times Adapted to Live Production Pace

The SBC220 is designed for production demands: it delivers a full charge in 3 hours and a 50% charge in 1 hour. This speed helps to cycle a fleet between two sets, two sessions, or during a busy recording day without multiplying battery sets.
