This article talks about the wireless system by Lectrosonics that Malcolm Young used during AC/DC's Black Ice Tour.

It says, "The new Lectrosonics system used by Malcolm Young includes two R400A Digital Hybrid Wireless™ diversity receivers, eight LMa Digital Hybrid UHF beltpack transmitters, and several MI39A guitar cables with right angle plugs."

Mentioned in this February 2014 Lectrosonics article.

Several years back, Jamie Howieson, the band’s system engineer, turned Murray on to Lectrosonics wireless products and this is how he and, shortly afterwards, Duncan Coutts, discovered the IS400 wireless instrument system. “At this point, Duncan has actually been using the IS400 wireless system for a good ten years,” Murray reports. “His setup consists of the R400a receiver, which sits on his pedalboard, the LMa beltpack transmitter, and the Lectrosonics MI39ARA instrument cable, which feeds the output of his bass guitar to the LMa. We’re both really impressed with the performance of this equipment. Audio quality is very natural sounding and transparent. You really can’t tell that we’re using a wireless system because the instrument’s sound is an absolutely accurate representation of the bass. It’s as if Duncan were connected with a cable.”
