Introducing the new REMIC Flute Microphones

The REMIC approach to Flute Miking

At REMIC, the philosophy behind our flute microphones is simple: deliver the most authentic and transparent sound possible while offering seamless usability for performers and engineers. These microphones are instrument-specific, designed to be mounted directly on the flute with a custom attachment that positions the capsule exactly where it captures the richest and most balanced sound. This is achieved without interfering with the player’s technique, comfort, or visual appearance.

The REMIC approach is based on close miking with minimal intrusion. This allows flutists full freedom of movement on stage, particularly when using wireless systems, while ensuring consistent and reliable sound capture. Whether performing in an orchestral setting, a chamber ensemble, or amplified live music, the result is a stable, natural sound that translates well to both front-of-house and recording environments.

F4100 WL6: Wireless freedom meets Studio Quality

The F4100 WL6 Wireless Flute Microphone is designed for performers who need uncompromising sound quality combined with complete mobility. Built around a high-definition omnidirectional condenser capsule, the F4100 WL6 captures the full tonal range of the flute with clarity and detail. Its sensitivity makes it especially well suited for expressive playing, where subtle dynamics and articulation are essential.

Close proximity placement helps reduce bleed from surrounding instruments and improves feedback resistance, a crucial advantage in live ensemble and stage situations. The microphone is supplied with a dedicated mounting solution for western concert flutes with a 20 mm headjoint, ensuring a secure fit and repeatable positioning. A lightweight design and flexible, cotton-covered cable minimize handling noise and mechanical vibration, while the TA4F connector allows seamless integration with Shure compatible wireless bodypack transmitters.

The F4100 WL6 is an ideal choice for touring musicians, contemporary performers, and any flutist who values freedom of movement without sacrificing sonic accuracy.

F7100: Wired precision for Studio and Stage

For musicians and engineers who prefer a wired solution with maximum signal integrity, the F7100 Flute Microphone offers outstanding precision and versatility. This model features a small form factor omnidirectional condenser with an integrated preamplifier, delivering a clean, low-noise signal suitable for both studio recording and live settings.

The F7100 excels in capturing the natural sound dispersion of the flute, producing an open and uncoloured sound that faithfully represents the instrument. Its compact form factor and instrument-specific mounting allow for discreet placement and consistent results, while the balanced XLR output integrates easily into professional audio setups using standard 48V Phantom power.

From classical and chamber music to jazz, folk, and crossover genres, the F7100 provides a reliable and transparent solution for flutists who demand accuracy and musical integrity in every performance.

Why these microphones matter

Choosing the right microphone for a flute is not simply about size or sensitivity. The flute radiates sound from multiple points along its body, making microphone placement and pickup pattern especially important. Omnidirectional designs, such as those used in REMIC flute microphones, help capture a more complete and natural sound image while avoiding the exaggerated proximity effects often associated with directional capsules.

In live environments, the combination of close placement, stable mounting, and high-quality condenser elements results in improved gain before feedback and reduced spill from other instruments. In the studio, these same characteristics translate into detailed recordings with excellent transient response and a balanced frequency spectrum, preserving both the warmth and brilliance of the instrument.

REMIC flute microphones are designed and handcrafted with a strong focus on musical authenticity, performer comfort, and long-term reliability. For flutists seeking true sound reproduction on stage, and for recording engineers who require consistency, control, and clarity, these microphones offer a refined and professional solution.

The REMIC flute microphone mount design has been conceived by Danish flute artist and saxophonist Aske Drasbæk.

They are not simply accessories, but carefully engineered tools that become a natural extension of the instrument and the musician behind it.
