KLVR, an audio technology company headquartered in Oslo, Norway, has announced the launch of the KLVR Charger Pro, a 1U rack-mount battery charger tailored for the audio industry that’s capable of charging 48 AA batteries simultaneously.
The KLVR Charger Pro utilizes Li-Ion batteries with an output voltage of 1.5 volts and a linear discharge curve, which the company states provides up to 25 percent more capacity than disposable alkaline batteries. The batteries are designed to power all AA-powered devices, including in-ear monitoring systems and wireless microphones from all brands, such as Shure, Sennheiser, AKG and more.
The charger has an interface that displays the estimated charging time for batteries. It also provides real-time status updates for each battery (also indicated by LEDs inside the drawer).
The company states that it expects to start shipping the Charger Pro in Q1, 2025. Until then, the product will be showcased at trade shows such as the 2024 IBC Show in Amsterdam. The company is also finalizing production and establishing its distribution network, and is currently seeking distributors and dealers worldwide.
