Klvr announced that it is launching in the United States with a rechargeable battery solution that aims to cut costs and improve performance across live event and pro AV markets. The Klvr Charger pro serves to enable stage managers, audio engineers and AV professionals in music venues, houses of worship, broadcast studios, conference halls and universities to eliminate large costs of single-use batteries.

The solution is now available from pro audio rental and AV integration partners including MBH Solutions, The Penn Group and YAP technologies.

“We’re very excited about partnering with Klvr. We feel the brand will be a strong addition to our offerings, providing customers a simple, flexible and cost-effective way to power multiple pro audio devices while reducing battery waste. We look forward to building the relationship,” said Tracy Dietrich, COO of specialist audio, visual and lighting distributor MBH Solutions.

The rechargeable battery solution was founded by sound engineers and music artists and is purpose-built for professional audio. The Klvr Charger Pro aims to provide a flexible and affordable solution. It features a 19 inch rack-mounted charger, with capacity for 48 high-performance, standard AA and AAA batteries for any device.

Klvr’s custom 1.5V Li-Ion batteries each contain 1200 charging cycles and a 30% higher runtime than regular commercial rechargeables. The company said that by using one pack of 48 Klvr batteries to their full lifetime capacity, AV professionals can power pro audio devices every day for over 3 years and eliminate the cost of up to 57,600 single-use batteries.

Klvr Charger Pro also includes the lightweight, 48-battery capacity Klvr Pouch for seamless touring, air travel or transport to remote production locations.

“Houses of worship, concert halls and corporate venues rely on wireless mics and other devices every day, but using thousands of disposable batteries to keep them powered is expensive, unreliable and a constant headache,” said Stian Sagholen, CEO and founder, Klvr. “AV teams need pro-grade batteries they can trust in critical live environments – and that work across different devices from their favorite audio brands. Our customers in the US and globally are cutting costs, lowering their environmental footprint, and delivering flawless shows with Klvr rechargeables.”
