Sennheiser CHG 70N-C - Cascadable 2-Port Network Charger The Sennheiser CHG 70N-C is an advanced, cascadable network charger with two independent ports, designed specifically for professional EW-DX wireless systems. The device enables simultaneous charging of two EW-DX SKM or EW-DX SK transmitters with BA 70 batteries, as well as the BA 70 batteries themselves. With Power over Ethernet (PoE) support and the ability to cascade up to five chargers, the CHG 70N-C provides a flexible and scalable solution for demanding stage productions, conferences, and fixed installations. This product was designed with the highest performance and reliability in mind, meeting the expectations that professionals have for Sennheiser equipment. Product Features Cascadable network charger with two ports for charging EW-DX SKM and EW-DX SK transmitters and BA 70 batteries. PoE (IEEE 802.3af Class 3) or external power supply (sold separately). Ability to cascade up to 5 chargers using a single power supply and one network connection, providing up to 10 charging ports. Remote control and monitoring via Sennheiser Control Cockpit software and third-party applications. Charging time: 2 hours (0-80%) and 3 hours for a full charge. The RJ45 (Ethernet) connector allows for network integration. Each port operates independently, allowing for flexible management of the charging process. Professional Capabilities for Your Stage The Sennheiser CHG 70N-C was designed with professionals in mind who require reliable and efficient charging for their wireless systems. Thanks to support for the Media Control Protocol, the charger communicates with Sennheiser Control Cockpit software, enabling full control over the charging process and battery status in real time. This allows stage technicians to monitor the charge level of transmitters on the go and plan battery swaps before a performance begins. This helps avoid unpleasant surprises during broadcasts or concerts, making the entire energy management process fully predictable and secure. Cascading chargers is a key advantage of this model. You can connect up to five CHG 70N-C devices using a single power supply and one Ethernet network. This gives you up to 10 charging ports, which is an ideal solution for larger productions where many transmitters need to be ready for use simultaneously. The entire system can be easily expanded as needs grow – simply add another CHG 70N-C charger to the existing configuration. This makes the investment in this model future-proof and flexible, allowing you to always adapt the infrastructure to current requirements. Whether you are working on an intimate event or a large-scale stage production, cascading allows you to build a system perfectly tailored to the scale of the event. The charger supports both handheld EW-DX SKM transmitters and bodypack EW-DX SK transmitters. You can charge transmitters with BA 70 batteries inserted or charge the batteries themselves. This provides full flexibility in daily operations – you always have a supply of charged batteries at hand. The two independent ports allow for simultaneous charging of different types of devices, which is particularly useful in situations where both handheld microphones and bodypack transmitters are used in a single performance. This allows one charger to handle mixed configurations, making it an extremely versatile tool in every stage technician's arsenal. The EW-DX system was designed so that all components work together seamlessly, and the CHG 70N-C is an integral part of this ecosystem.
