The Audix ADX10FLP is a professional miniature cardioid condenser microphone designed specifically for close-miking a standard flute. Featuring a low-profile design, natural sound reproduction, and excellent transient response, the ADX10FLP captures the clarity, articulation, and tonal character of the instrument for live performances, recording, and professional sound reinforcement.
Unlike general-purpose instrument microphones, the ADX10FLP is designed to mount directly to the flute's head joint using the included MCFLUTE mounting clip. This allows consistent microphone positioning near the embouchure hole while giving performers freedom to move naturally without relying on a traditional microphone stand.
Its controlled cardioid pickup pattern helps isolate the flute from surrounding instruments, vocals, and stage noise. With a frequency response of 50 Hz to 18 kHz, the ADX10FLP reproduces the flute's delicate tonal characteristics, breath detail, and fast musical passages with accuracy.
The ADX10FLP includes the Audix APS911 battery/phantom power adapter, allowing the microphone to connect to professional mixers, audio interfaces, and PA systems. The APS911 can operate using an AA battery when phantom power is unavailable, providing flexibility for different performance and recording environments.
Built with a machined brass capsule and durable matte-black finish, the ADX10FLP is designed for professional use and is manufactured and tested by Audix in the USA.

Designed Specifically for Flute Performance
The ADX10FLP provides a practical alternative to conventional stand-mounted microphones.
By positioning the microphone near the flute's embouchure hole, the included mounting clip helps maintain consistent pickup as the performer moves. This is particularly useful for musicians performing on stage, where changing distance from a microphone can affect volume and tonal balance.
The cardioid pickup pattern focuses on the flute while helping reduce unwanted sound from nearby performers and stage monitors.
Its miniature design also keeps the microphone visually discreet, making it suitable for concerts, theatrical productions, and other professional performances.
Flexible Power and Connectivity
The ADX10FLP package includes the Audix APS911 power adapter, providing flexibility for both live sound and recording applications.
The APS911 can operate from compatible phantom power or an AA battery when phantom power is unavailable. It also features an on/off switch and bass roll-off filter.
For performers who require a wireless configuration, Audix offers the ADX10FL microphone version for use with compatible Audix wireless systems.
Ideal Applications
- Live flute performances
- Concert and orchestral sound reinforcement
- Musical theater productions
