What Remic does

REMIC Audio ApS (formerly REMIC Microphones), founded in 2012 with engineering roots dating to 1996, is a Danish designer and manufacturer of high-definition condenser microphones purpose-built for acoustic instruments. The company is headquartered in Hørsholm, Denmark, with a sales and marketing presence in Copenhagen and 1-10 employees. Its product portfolio spans microphone lines for violin, viola, cello, double bass, piano, flute, brass, and woodwinds, each engineered in two primary variants: Studio versions using omnidirectional measurement-class condensers for natural sound capture, and Live Band (LB) versions employing proprietary FUSION technology that combines pickup isolation with condenser microphone characteristics to achieve omni-spherical ambient suppression for loud stage environments. All microphones share an ultra-small 8.5mm (1/3 inch) form factor and a fast magnetic mounting system designed to avoid damage to valuable instruments. Wireless variants (WL6 for Shure direct-connect, WLM legacy multi-connector) and a series of adapters extend the ecosystem into professional touring rigs.

The company operates a direct-to-consumer e-commerce model via remic.dk, supported by regional distributors in the UK, Austria, Poland, and Germany, and serves a customer base of professional musicians, sound engineers, recording studios, and orchestras. Pricing for microphone kits ranges from approximately €720 (B5201 Studio viola) to €2,749 (P6110 TRIPLE grand piano kit), with accessories and wireless adapters at lower price points. Revenue is generated almost entirely from hardware sales, supplemented by a refurbishment service. REMIC pursues a community-led go-to-market strategy through an Artist Endorsement Program, Sound Engineer community, and Studio Collaborator Program, with named users including OneRepublic, Colorado Symphony, Max Raabe & Palast Orchester, and Grammy-winning engineer Marc Urselli. Recent strategic activity includes the May 2025 corporate rebrand and a cluster of 2026 product launches (F4100 flute, W3100 brass/woodwind, LB LIVE string microphones, and the new C5310 cello family).

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• DPA Microphones: DPA Microphones is a Danish pro-audio manufacturer specializing in miniature condenser microphones for instruments, broadcast and live performance. Their d:vote and 4099 series directly compete with REMIC's instrument-clip microphone approach for strings, piano and brass.
• Countryman: Countryman manufactures miniature clip-on instrument microphones (Type 10, Type 85) widely used on strings, brass and woodwinds in live performance. They are one of the closest direct competitors to REMIC in the instrument-clip condenser niche.
• Schertler: Schertler is a Swiss/Italian manufacturer of contact and instrument microphones (Basik, David, Blond) for acoustic strings and piano. Their acoustic-instrument focus, premium positioning, and proximity to the classical/acoustic market make them a direct niche peer to REMIC.
• K&K Sound: K&K Sound produces internal and soundboard transducer systems for acoustic instruments including violin, cello, double bass and piano. Their pickup-based approach is complementary rather than identical to REMIC's FUSION condenser concept, but they compete for the same end-customers and use cases.

Broad incumbents

• Sennheiser: Sennheiser is a global pro-audio incumbent offering instrument microphones across its MKH and evolution series, plus the wireless systems REMIC integrates with. It is a broader portfolio competitor, not niche-specialized, but its E908, E914 and MKH lines overlap functionally with REMIC's products.
• Neumann (Sennheiser): Neumann is the premium studio-condenser incumbent (KK/184, KM series). REMIC's Studio line competes at the high end of orchestral/solo instrument studio capture, though Neumann does not offer instrument-clip form factors comparable to REMIC's.
• Audio-Technica: Audio-Technica is a broad pro-audio manufacturer whose ATM350, Pro35 and violin/cello clip-on systems compete directly with REMIC's instrument microphones for live and studio use, at typically lower price points.
• Shure: Shure is both a wireless-system ecosystem that REMIC integrates with (WL6 beltpack compatibility) and a competitor via its Beta, SM and KSM instrument microphones. Shure's distribution scale and brand recognition make it the dominant competing voice in live performance capture.

Emerging players

• Bartolini: Bartolini makes pickups and on-board preamps for stringed instruments, with overlapping end-customers in the acoustic-instrument amplification space. They are a pickup-first alternative to REMIC's condenser-mic approach and a partial-overlap peer.
• Violet Design: Violet Design is a boutique condenser-microphone maker with a Flamingo series aimed at classical and acoustic instrument recording. Smaller and more specialized than broad incumbents, it overlaps with REMIC's Studio product line in serving classical recording engineers.
