Audix ADX10-FLP Miniaturized flute Condenser Cardioid Microphone
Description
Audix ADX10-FLP Miniaturized Flute Condenser Cardioid Microphone
The ADX10-FLP is engineered as a purpose-built solution for flute amplification, delivering crystalline capture without the bulk of traditional microphone setups. Its miniaturized form factor and clip-on design keep you free to move naturally across the stage, while the cardioid polar pattern isolates your instrument's voice from competing stage noise. This condenser captures every articulation, breath, and dynamic nuance with exceptional transient response and uncolored fidelity.
Design & Build Quality
The ADX10-FLP features a modular threaded capsule paired with a machined brass body finished in matte black with an e-coat protective layer. The lightweight, low-profile construction includes a clip that attaches directly to your flute's head joint, positioning the capsule at the embouchure hole for optimal isolation and minimal visibility during performance.
Audio Performance & Connectivity
This pre-polarized condenser operates across a 50 Hz–18 kHz frequency range, capturing the full tonal spectrum of your instrument with clarity and presence. The cardioid pattern excels at rejecting off-axis sound while delivering tight, focused pickup; dual power options—either 9–52V phantom power or a single AA battery—ensure compatibility with virtually any mixing console or portable recorder, and the included 8' mini XLR-f cable with phantom power adapter (APS911) gets you connected immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in the box, and do I need any other cables or adapters?
The ADX10-FLP ships with an 8-foot mini XLR-f cable, a phantom power adapter (APS911), a foam windshield, and a clip attachment for your flute's head joint. If your mixer or interface has standard XLR inputs, you'll also need a mini XLR-f to XLR-m adapter, which is not included.
Can I use this mic on battery power, or do I need phantom power?
The ADX10-FLP operates on either 9–52V phantom power or a single AA battery, so you have flexibility depending on your setup. Battery mode is useful for portable recording rigs or live situations where phantom power isn't available.
How does the cardioid pattern help with my flute performance?
The cardioid pattern tightly isolates your flute's sound while rejecting off-axis noise from surrounding instruments and vocals on stage or in the studio. This focused pickup means less bleed and a cleaner, more articulate signal of just your playing.
Will this mic work for ensemble or section flute recording?
The ADX10-FLP is designed for close-miked solo flute performance and capture; it excels at isolating a single instrument. For ensemble or section work, you may want multiple units or a different mic approach, as the tight cardioid pattern is optimized for individual players.
What's the frequency response, and will it capture the full range of my flute?
The frequency response is 50 Hz to 18 kHz, which covers the full tonal spectrum of a standard flute and captures presence and articulation without coloration. This flat, uncolored response lets your natural playing technique and tone shine through.
