The Korena take

The QLXD2/K8B is a handheld wireless transmitter with an interchangeable KSM8 cartridge for QLX-D Digital Wireless Systems. An IR sync button links it to a receiver quickly, and the transmitter is specified to maintain a clear, uninterrupted signal across its 100 m (330-foot) range. It delivers 24-bit digital audio, uses an integrated single-band helical antenna, and has an all-metal build. Listed battery life is up to nine hours on alkaline cells or up to 10 hours with a Shure SB900 rechargeable battery.
