Networked Charger (Ncs) - Shure Microflex Wireless User Manual

Hardware Description

Networked Charger (NCS)

The MXW networked charging station enables battery
charging and channel linking from a single location. When
a charger is associated to a group, its channel slots are
mapped to access point audio channels. Microphones can
then be placed in the slots to Link to these channels.
Any microphone can recharge in any NCS, regardless of
Group association or network connection. Caution: When
the Link button on an associated charger is pressed, all
microphones in the charger will be mapped to channels on
an access point. This will override any previously Linked
microphones on those channels.
① Charging Slots (USB 3.0 Type A)
Recharge and link microphones by connecting them to the
USB slots on the charger. When the charger is associated
to a group, the slots are mapped to access point channels
(See Audio Channel Assignment for details).
Note: Any microphone can charge in any charger, regardless of Group
association or network connection.
