ADX10

OVERVIEW

The ADX10 is a miniaturized condenser microphone designed for lavalier applications
such as speech, presentation and theatrical production. Known for its clarity,
resistance to feedback and ease of operation, the ADX10 has the ability to accurately
capture and reproduce vocals from a comfortable distance of 4”-8”.

The ADX10 is characterized with a uniformly controlled cardioid polar pattern,
helping to isolate the area or section being miked from other vocals or instruments
on stage. With a smooth and accurate frequency range of 50 Hz - 18 kHz, the
ADX10 is lightweight and will provide natural sound with exceptional
transient response.

The ADX10, primarily for use with Audix wireless systems, includes a tie-clip, and a 3’
attached cable terminating to a mini-XLRf connector. The ADX10 may also be used as
a wired mic. Simply order the APS910 or APS911 phantom power adapter for use with
a standard mic cable.

ARCHITECT AND ENGINEER SPECIFICATIONS

The microphone shall be of the condenser type with a modular threaded
capsule. The microphone shall be available in a cardioid polar pattern and shall
have a 3’ or 8’ cable (depending on model) terminating in a mini-XLR female
connector. The microphone shall have a sensitivity of 4.5 mV /Pa and a nominal
impedance of 800 ohms at 1 kHz. The microphone shall have a maximum SPL
level of ≥120 dB and shall be machined out of brass with a length of 25 mm and
a capsule diameter of 10 mm. The microphone shall be the Audix ADX10.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

The ADX10 is designed to plug directly into the bodypack of an Audix
wireless system.

Using the ADX10 as a hard wired mic: You will need the APS910 or APS911
phantom power supply.

APS910 and APS911 phantom power adapters: Note that the mini­XLRf connector at the end of the ADX10 plugs into mini-XLRm side of the
APS910 or APS911 phantom power adapter. From there, plug a standard
XLR-XLR microphone cable to complete the connection to the mixing board.

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.

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 fit inside the hole of the
drum and held in place with clay. For flute see ADX10FLP.

USER TIPS

Lavalier: The ADX10 can be attached to a tie, a lapel, or to fabric by means
of 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.
