Audix AP41FLUTEA - Diversity Wireless Flute System (Performance Series)
The Audix AP41FLUTEA is the ultimate solution for flutists seeking freedom of movement without sacrificing any of their instrument's natural sound quality. Part of the acclaimed Audix Performance Series , this professional wireless system combines robust radio frequency engineering with the acoustic precision of the specialized ADX10FL microphone. Designed to eliminate cable clutter on stage, this set delivers crystal-clear audio transmission, ideal for soloists, orchestras, and contemporary bands that demand night-after-night reliability.
The heart of the system is the R41 Diversity receiver, housed in a durable metal chassis, which guarantees exceptional signal stability thanks to its antenna diversity technology, preventing dropouts and audio interruptions even in environments with high RF saturation. Alongside it, the B60 bodypack transmitter stands out for its lightweight yet robust construction, offering extended battery life for even the longest performances. The jewel of the set is the ADX10FL condenser microphone, meticulously designed with an integrated clip that securely attaches to the flute headjoint, capturing the instrument's airy tone and percussive transients with astonishing fidelity.

-
One-touch synchronization: The system features automatic scanning and infrared linking that connects the receiver and the B60 beltpack in seconds.
-
Specialized ADX10FL Microphone: Miniature electret condenser microphone with cardioid polar pattern, specifically designed to isolate the flute from ambient noise and other instruments on stage.
-
Secure and discreet mounting: Includes a unique mounting clip that attaches to the crown of the flute head, keeping the microphone in the optimal position without damaging the instrument.
-
Robust B60 Transmitter: Metal body body with high contrast LCD display and a soft mute switch for total control during performance.

Professional operating range: Provides an operating range of up to 91 meters (300 feet) under ideal conditions, allowing total mobility in large scenarios.
Benefits for the musician
The AP41FLUTEA transforms the live performance experience. By eliminating the static microphone stand, the flautist regains their physical expressiveness, allowing them to interact freely with the audience and other musicians. The high-quality ADX10FL microphone ensures that the sound is neither "electric" nor compressed; instead, it preserves the flute's natural dynamics and warm timbre. Furthermore, the robust metal components (both in the receiver and the beltpack) provide the peace of mind needed for demanding tours, knowing that the equipment will withstand continuous professional use.
Use cases
-
Live performances: Perfect for flautists in rock, jazz, folk or Latin music bands who need to move around the stage.
-
Orchestra soloists: Allows you to amplify the flute solo over a dense orchestra without losing the delicate nuances.
-
Musical theatre and auditoriums: Ideal for productions where aesthetics are key, thanks to the low and discreet profile of the microphone and pack.
-
Education and presentations: Teachers or presenters who use the flute as a teaching tool and require mobility in the classroom or auditorium.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can the microphone clip scratch my flute?
No, the ADX10FL mounting system is designed with materials that protect the instrument's finish and fits securely onto the crown of a standard-sized flute headstock.
-
How long does the transmitter's battery last?
The B60 bodypack transmitter offers approximately 14 hours of continuous operation with a pair of quality alkaline AA batteries.
-
What does "Diversity" mean on the receiver?
This means that the receiver uses two antennas and independent circuits to constantly monitor the signal, automatically selecting the one with the best reception to avoid audio cut-outs.
-
Can I use this system with other instruments?
Although the receiver and beltpack are universal, the included ADX10FL microphone is specifically designed for flute. For other instruments, you would need to connect a different microphone with a compatible 3-pin mini-XLR connector to the B60 beltpack.
