4. Alimentazione di u Preamp: The APS-911 preamp pò esse alimentatu in dui modi:
   • Potenza Phantom: If your mixer or audio interface provides 9-52V phantom power, connect the APS-911 preamp's standard XLR output to your mixer/interface using the provided XLR cable. The preamp will automatically draw power.
   • Batteria AA: For setups without phantom power, open the battery compartment on the APS-911 preamp and insert a 1.5V AA battery. Ensure correct polarity.

Istruzzioni di funziunamentu

Once the ADX10-FLP is set up, follow these guidelines for optimal performance:

• Power On: If using battery power, ensure the switch on the APS-911 preamp is in the 'ON' position. If using phantom power, the unit will power on automatically when connected to a phantom-powered input.
• Posizionamentu di u microfonu: Experiment with the microphone's position on the flute head joint to achieve the desired tonal balance. Placing it closer to the embouchure hole will capture more direct sound, while moving it slightly away can blend in more of the instrument's body resonance.
• Guadagna Staging: Adjust the input gain on your mixer or audio interface to an appropriate level. Monitor the signal to prevent clipping (distortion) while ensuring a strong, clear signal. The ADX10-FLP provides a warm and rich sound, so excessive equalization may not be necessary.
• Monitoraghju: Listen to the microphone's output through headphones or studio monitors to fine-tune placement and gain settings.

Mantenimentu

Proper care will extend the life and performance of your Audix ADX10-FLP microphone system:

• Pulizia: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the microphone and preamp module. Avoid using liquid cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the components.
• Sustituzione di batterie: If using battery power, replace the AA battery when the sound becomes weak or distorted, or if the unit fails to power on. Always remove the battery if the unit will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
• Conservazione: Store the microphone and all accessories in the provided carrying pouch when not in use. This protects them from dust, moisture, and physical damage.
• Cura di u cable: Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the microphone cable. Coil cables loosely for storage.

Risoluzione di prublemi

If you encounter issues with your ADX10-FLP, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Nisuna uscita di sonu:
  • Check all cable connections (microphone to preamp, preamp to mixer/interface).
  • Verify the APS-911 preamp is powered on (if using battery) or that phantom power is enabled on your mixer/interface.
  • Ensure the input channel on your mixer/interface is unmuted and gain is set appropriately.
  • Test with a fresh AA battery if using battery power.
• Sonu debule o distortu:
  • Check battery level if using battery power.
  • Adjust input gain on your mixer/interface to prevent clipping.
  • Ensure the microphone capsule is clean and free from obstructions.
• Excessive Key Noise:
  • Reposition the microphone slightly further from the keys or adjust its angle. The cardioid polar pattern is directional, so careful aiming can reduce off-axis sounds.
• Microphone Mount Slipping:
  • Ensure the flute head joint mount is securely fastened. If the O-ring or grip is worn, contact Audix support for replacement parts. A temporary solution might involve carefully wrapping a thin strip of paper around the flute under the ring to create a tighter fit.
• Difficulty Attaching Microphone to Clip:
  • The clip prongs can be stiff initially. Apply firm but gentle pressure to snap the microphone into place. Avoid excessive force to prevent damage.
