Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The EW-DX SKM-S R1-9 is a metal-bodied handheld transmitter for Sennheiser's EW-DX wireless system. Its eInk screen keeps key settings visible even with power off, while onboard buttons put adjustments on the handheld itself. It runs for up to 12 hours on two AA batteries and has a stated 100 meter operating range. Select a compatible Sennheiser or Neumann capsule separately to configure the microphone for the job.
