The Original, Reinvented — Compact Power Distribution for ENG Sound Bags The Audioroot eSMART BG-DH MKII is a next-generation DC power distributor designed specifically for field sound professionals. As the direct successor to our groundbreaking eSMART BG-DH—the original smart battery distributor introduced in 2009—this compact powerhouse builds upon a legacy that revolutionized portable audio power management. Before the BG-DH, production sound recordists relied on standard batteries, often without any visibility into how much energy remained—an unacceptable compromise for mission-critical work. The BG-DH changed that forever, introducing real-time battery intelligence through SMbus smart battery technology. The MKII version pushes the concept even further with a refined, more compact design, increased functionality, and superior reliability. KEY FEATURES Real-Time Battery MonitoringAt a glance, view all critical battery data on a sunlight-readable OLED color screen: Remaining capacity (%) Estimated runtime (hh:mm) Voltage (V) Current draw (A) Battery temperature (°C) Charge/discharge cycle count Ultra-Compact Form FactorMeasuring just 65 x 50 x 30 mm and weighing only 130 grams, the BG-DH MKII fits effortlessly into any ENG sound bag. All cabling routes downward to optimize space and workflow. Robust and Flexible Output OptionsEquipped with 6 Hirose locking outputs, the BG-DH MKII supports a wide range of configurations: 1 unfused SMbus passthrough output 3 fused outputs (protected by 2.5A re-settable Polyswitch fuses) 2 non-fused auxiliary outputs Powerful Visual AlertsA blinking red LED alerts you when battery capacity drops below 10%, helping prevent sudden power loss. Switchable Output ControlSeparate locking switches let you independently toggle 4 main outputs and 2 auxiliary outputs, giving you total control over your power distribution. Plug-and-Play Smart Battery IntegrationSeamless compatibility with all Audioroot eSMART lithium batteries. Simply plug in to activate intelligent data communication via the SMbus. OLED Color DisplayThe integrated 96 x 64 pixel OLED display is bright, colorful, and offers a wide 180° viewing angle—perfect for viewing battery stats from any position. Efficient, Low-Power OperationWith extremely low internal power consumption, the BG-DH MKII maximizes your battery’s autonomy without sacrificing visibility or control. Designed for MobilityIncludes a durable belt clip, perfect for fast setups and field use. The Hirose locking connectors provide robust, secure connections in all conditions.
