## Abstract

A mobile wireless audio transmission system is provided, comprising at least one mobile wireless transmitter for the wireless transmission of audio signals which have been recorded via a microphone in the transmitter or which have been transmitted via an audio input to the transmitter. The transmitter comprises a transmitter rechargeable battery unit. The system further comprises a mobile wireless receiver for the wireless reception of audio signals transmitted wirelessly by the at least one transmitter, wherein the receiver comprises a receiver rechargeable battery unit. The system further comprises a mobile charging/transport dock which comprises at least one transmitter receiving compartment for receiving a transmitter and a receiver receiving compartment for receiving a receiver and a rechargeable battery unit as power supply. The mobile charging/transport dock is configured to charge the transmitter rechargeable battery unit and/or the receiver rechargeable battery unit with energy from the rechargeable battery unit when they are placed in the corresponding receiving compartments.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A mobile wireless audio transmission system, comprising:
at least one mobile wireless transmitter for the wireless transmission of audio signals which have been recorded via a microphone in the wireless transmitter or which have been transmitted via an audio input to the wireless transmitter, wherein the wireless transmitter comprises a transmitter rechargeable battery unit,
a mobile wireless receiver for the wireless reception of audio signals transmitted wirelessly by the at least one wireless transmitter, wherein the wireless receiver comprises a receiver rechargeable battery unit and
a mobile charging/transport dock which comprises at least one transmitter receiving compartment for receiving a wireless transmitter, a receiver receiving compartment for receiving a wireless receiver and a rechargeable battery unit as power supply,
wherein the mobile charging/transport dock is configured to charge the transmitter rechargeable battery unit and/or the receiver rechargeable battery unit with energy from the rechargeable battery unit when they are placed in the corresponding receiving compartments.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The mobile wireless audio transmission system according to claim 1, wherein the at least one transmitter is ready to transmit when it is placed in the transmitter receiving compartment,
wherein the microphone of the mobile wireless transmitter can freely record audio signals from outside in the inserted state of the transmitter.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The mobile wireless audio transmission system according to claim 1, wherein
the receiver is ready to receive when it is placed in the receiver receiving compartment, wherein the wireless receiver has a display which can be seen from outside in the inserted state of the receiver.
