I’d like to thank Nathan and the team at Wendy’s Broadcadst for all their help. They have been supplying me with custom cables, made to the highest standard over many year. The low profile connectors are hard to find, yet they normally ship the finished leads the day after ordering, often to studios or locations where I am filming and I’ve never had to ask for any adjustments or corrections; They are right first time, despite my requiring some unusual bespoke wiring. I’ve also benefited from real world advice about products and fault finding. Wendy’s Broadcast have made location sound far less stressful.
The Tiny-C is an ultra compact pocket-sized charger that turns a compatible USB-C PPS power supply into a smart charger for AudioRoot eSMART Li-xxWh and NEO batteries. the charger is a geat addition to location sound kits, travel light charging, battery health management, and Smart battery users.
The AudioRoot eSMART TINY-C is built for crews who want a capable smart-battery charger without another bulky power brick. Connected to a compatible USB-C PPS supply, it can charge supported AudioRoot smart batteries at up to 4.0 A while monitoring the battery and negotiating the power it needs in real time.
Its blue OLED display shows charging current, battery voltage, capacity, cycle count and estimated time remaining. A front-panel button selects a 100%, 80%, 60% or 30% charge limit, making it easier to prioritise maximum runtime, everyday battery longevity, storage preparation or air-travel preparation.
