Audix MC10L - Metal Lapel Clip for ADX10 Lavalier Microphone
The Audix MC10L is the ultimate clip-on accessory for professionals seeking stability and discretion during recordings or live performances. Designed specifically as a high-quality replacement or upgrade for the Audix ADX10 microphone series, this lapel clip (also known as a tie clip) stands out for its robust construction and precision mechanism.
Unlike standard plastic clips that can break with continuous use or lose tension over time, the MC10L is made of durable metal with a non-reflective matte black finish. Its design incorporates a spring-tension wire loop that tightly hugs the microphone body, ensuring the capsule stays in the exact position the sound engineer intended, without unwanted slippage or rotation.
Its alligator-type mechanism provides a secure grip on a wide variety of fabrics, from the delicate silk of a tie to a jacket lapel or shirt collar, ensuring completely reliable hands-free operation. It's the industry standard for maintaining a clean visual aesthetic and noise-free audio.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is this clip compatible with microphones other than the Audix ADX10?
The wire loop is specifically sized for the diameter of the Audix ADX10. Although it might fit other microphones of identical dimensions, its perfect operation is guaranteed only with the ADX10 series.
-
Can the metal clip damage delicate clothing?
No, despite having a firm, alligator-like grip, the teeth are designed to hold without tearing. However, caution is advised when using it on extremely fine fabrics such as pure silk.
-
How do you insert the microphone into the clip?
The system works by pressure. You must lightly press the wire loop to open it, or simply slide the microphone body through the loop until the spring tension locks it in place.
