Shure SBC450 4-Bay Networked Charging Station (without Power Supply)

Product Overview

The Shure SBC450 networked charging station is a 4-bay docking station that charges up to four Shure ULXD6 or ULXD8 transmitters fitted with Shure rechargeable batteries, without removing the battery from the transmitter. Built for rack-room and equipment-closet deployment, this 4-bay ULXD charging station adds network connectivity so AV integrators and facilities teams can monitor charge status and push transmitter settings remotely. It is the practical fleet-charging solution for commercial wireless systems running across conference rooms, auditoriums, and broadcast environments. This configuration ships without a power supply, which is sold separately.

Product Description

The Shure SBC450 is a networked wireless transmitter charger designed for commercial AV deployments that manage multiple wireless microphone bodypacks and boundary transmitters. Up to four ULXD6 or ULXD8 transmitters slide directly into the dock and charge in place, with bi-color LEDs confirming charge status at a glance. When connected to a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet network, the SBC450 lets technicians view the charge state of each transmitter remotely and update transmitter settings or firmware while the units remain docked, using Shure Wireless Workbench or SystemOn software or a third-party room control system such as AMX or Crestron. Control software also exposes battery health, temperature, charge level, and cycle count for proactive fleet management. For larger installations, up to three additional SBC450 units can be combined to charge up to 16 batteries at once, making this a scalable rack-room battery charging platform. Because this SKU ships without the external power supply, integrators standardizing on existing power infrastructure can specify the power unit separately.

Key Features

• Four-Bay In-Dock Charging — Charges up to four ULXD6 or ULXD8 transmitters with the battery left inside the transmitter, simplifying turnaround between events.
• Networked Remote Monitoring — A 10/100 Mbps Ethernet interface lets technicians view charge status and battery data remotely across a commercial AV network.
• In-Dock Settings and Firmware Updates — Transmitter settings and firmware can be updated while docked using Wireless Workbench, SystemOn, or third-party control systems like AMX and Crestron.
• Battery Health Telemetry — Control software reports battery health, temperature, charge, and cycle count for proactive rechargeable fleet management.
• Fast Charge Profile — 15 minutes of charging yields about one hour of runtime, one hour reaches roughly 50 percent, and three hours reaches full charge.
• Scalable to 16 Batteries — Add up to three more SBC450 chargers to charge as many as 16 batteries simultaneously for large wireless deployments.
• Commercial-Grade Construction — Molded plastic and cast zinc alloy housing suits demanding rack-room and equipment-closet installation.
