Sound Devices has announced the release of the new A20 Battery Doubler for its A20-Mini Digital Wireless Transmitter, designed to replace the unit’s existing battery door while adding room for a second rechargeable NP-BX1 battery that runs in parallel with the first battery.
Once installed, the Battery Doubler is stated to increase the A20-Mini’s maximum run time to nine hours while only adding an additional 7 mm of thickness to its casing to preserve its compact form factor.
“We’re always looking for ways to increase the capabilities of our A20 series wireless devices,” said Sound Devices RF applications engineer Gary Trenda. “Given the long hours and increasingly challenging RF production environments that our customers are finding themselves in, the A20 Battery Doubler is an essential upgrade that will keep the A20-Mini running with them no matter how long the job is.”
The key feature of the A20 series is Sound Devices’ proprietary SpectraBand technology that offers a worldwide tuning range of 470 MHz – 1525 MHz and high-end SAW filtering along with sonic and signal clarity. It’s designed for broadcast, live event production, and house of worship applications.
“Compact wireless devices that offer many channels and wide, usable tuning bands lend themselves to increasingly creative applications for wireless audio,” says. Sound Devices CEO Matt Anderson. “As our customers continue to test the limits of what wireless technology can do, we will be right alongside them ensuring that our products continue to deliver under the toughest circumstances.”
The A20 Battery Doubler is available now for a U.S. MSRP of $150.
