OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE:
The ADX10 is designed to plug directly into the bodypack of the RAD360 wireless system. To use the
ADX10 as a wired mic, you will need the version that includes phantom power supply (model ADX10-P).
For ute, you will need model ADX10-FLP.
The ADX10-P and ADX10-FLP are low impedance microphone and should be plugged into a “mic level”
input on your console, mixer, or recording device. The ADX10-P and ADX10-FLP require phantom power
and will NOT operate without phantom power voltage (minimum of 9 - 48 Volts) which is available on most
professional mic preamps and mixing devices. If phantom power is not available on your equipment, use
the Audix APS-911 which is an optional accessory that allows for battery operation. Avoid plugging or
unplugging the microphone from a PA system unless the channel is muted or the volume of the system
turned down. Failure to do so may result in a loud “popping” noise which could seriously damage the
speakers in the PA system.
APS-910 phantom power adapter: Note that the mini-XLRf connector at the end of the ADX10-P and
ADX10-FLP plug into mini-XLRm side of the APS910 power adapter. From there, plug a standard XLR-
XLR microphone cable to complete the connection from the APS-910 to the mixing board.
USER TIPS:
Lavalier: The ADX10 can be attached to a tie, a lapel, or to fabric by mean of the the supplied alligator
style clip. For best results, the microphone should be positioned so that the capsule of the microphone
is in an upward position and 4-6 inches from the mouth. Be sure that the round ports on the microphone
capsule always remain exposed and do not get covered up in any way by clothing.
It is recommended to use the supplied external windscreen to help reduce popping and breath noise.
SERVICE AND WARRANTY:
This microphone is under warranty for
a period of 3 years from any and all
manufacturing defects. Should your
microphone fail in any way, please con-
tact the Audix Service department at
503-682-6933. A Return Authorization
number is required before returning
any products.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE:
The ADX10 is manufactured to exacting
specs with roadworthy construction. However,
the capsule is highly sensitive and should be
handled with care. Avoid extreme temperatures
and be sure to store your microphone in the
pouch provided when not in use. Moisture of
any kind can adversely affect the sound and
performance of your microphone.

Flute (Model ADX10-FLP): With the “crown” detached, simply
place the “O-ring” portion of the ADX10-FLP mic clip at the end of
the “head join” (as illustrated) and reattach the crown to the head
joint.
Acoustic instruments: For violin, the ADX10 may be attached to
the collar of a shirt pointing out towards the body of the instrument.
For guitar, the ADX10 may be placed beneath the strings (with tape
or velcro) or inside the guitar as an internal microphone. For udu
drums, the ADX10 will t inside the hole of the drum and held in
place with the clay provided.
