Audio-Technica ESW-CHG5AD ESW Four-Bay Charging Station with AC Adapter

Audio-Technica ESW-CHG5AD ESW Four-Bay Charging Station Overview
The Audio-Technica ESW-CHG5AD ESW Four-Bay Charging Station with AC Adapter is an essential addition to your Audio-Technica Engineered Sound Wireless System. This four-bay charging station is designed to charge and store your wireless transmitters, such as the ESW Deskstand and Boundary Transmitters. As demand for wireless microphones continues to rise due to the prevalence of videoconferencing and web conferencing, this charging station provides a simple, smart, and scalable solution to keep your equipment powered and ready to use. With the ability to charge multiple transmitters simultaneously, it ensures your setup is always operational and efficient.

Simplified Installation and Operation
The ESW-CHG5AD charging station is built for ease of use. Once the microphones are fully charged, simply remove them from the station, and they are ready for use—no complicated setup required. The system’s simplicity extends to its installation, which is made easy with Power over Ethernet (PoE) to power the receiver, and Dante audio output capabilities for seamless integration. Just connect a single Cat 5e cable to a PoE switch, eliminating the need for multiple antennas and reducing wiring complexity. This straightforward setup ensures that the system is up and running quickly without unnecessary installation hassles.

Scalable and Flexible Wireless Microphone Solution
Designed with scalability in mind, the ESW-CHG5AD supports up to 96 simultaneously usable channels, which is ideal for environments requiring multiple microphones. The system offers two modes: Standard mode (48 channels) for minimized latency and HD mode (96 channels) to maximize the number of available channels. The selectable RF power output allows users to optimize coverage areas, ensuring reliable audio coverage in various room sizes or complex setups. This scalability makes the system suitable for larger venues, conferences, and broadcast environments where multiple microphones are needed at once.

Centralized Control and Management with Wireless Manager
For those managing large installations or multiple systems, Audio-Technica’s Wireless Manager software simplifies the process by enabling centralized management of the system’s settings and operations. This software allows users to monitor and configure multiple wireless systems—including UHF and DECT systems—from a single interface. Additionally, the ESW-CHG5AD comes equipped with AES256 encryption for secure and reliable operation, ensuring that the system maintains high-quality audio and security standards, especially in professional environments. The software also offers the ability to configure, monitor, and save device settings as projects, streamlining long-term system management.

Reliable and Convenient Charging Features
The ESW-CHG5AD includes key features designed for convenience and efficiency. Rapid recharging ensures that the microphones are ready to go in as little as two hours, making it easy to keep your equipment operational without long downtimes. The system can link up to two charging stations using just one AC adapter and a single Cat 5e cable, simplifying the setup for larger configurations. The charging status and battery levels are displayed in the Wireless Manager software, offering real-time monitoring to keep track of the equipment’s health. Additionally, remote firmware updates for docked transmitters ensure that the system remains current without manual intervention.
