Add the Optional SB900 Shure Rechargeable Battery

Adapted from industry-leading Axient intelligent power management technology. Optional advanced rechargeability accessories eliminate the need for disposable batteries while extending usage times and life cycle.
- Lithium-Ion chemistry and intelligent Shure battery circuitry results in rechargeable batteries with zero memory effect. The battery can be recharged at any time; a complete discharge is never necessary
- Provides ULX-D transmitters with unmatched 12+ hours of performance time
- Transmitters and receivers display remaining battery life in hours and minutes accurate to within 15 minutes
- Add the optional SBC200 dual docking charger to recharge batteries while inside or outside transmitters. Up to four SBC200s can be linked together to provide docked charging of eight transmitters from one power supply
- Add the optional SBC800 eight-bay charger to bring up to eight SB900 batteries to full charge within three hours and 50% charge in one hour, with charge status LEDs for each battery
- AA alkaline backwards compatibility
- Both optional chargers fit in a standard-size rack drawer for easy transport and storage

Consumer Alert
Most users do not need a license to operate this wireless microphone system. Nevertheless, operating this microphone system without a license is subject to certain restrictions: the system may not cause harmful interference; it must operate at a low power level (not in excess of 50 milliwatts); and it has no protection from interference received from any other device. Purchasers should also be aware that the FCC is currently evaluating use of wireless microphone systems, and these rules are subject to change. For more information, call the FCC at 1-888-CALL-FCC (TTY: 1-888-TELL-FCC) or visit the FCC's wireless microphone website at www.fcc.gov/cgb/wirelessmicrophones

NOTE: None of the wireless systems we carry are capable of violating the FCC guidelines stated above. We are presenting this information as a matter of legally required disclosure. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Shure products.
