OSLO — Classical cellist Katrine Schiøtt is also known for her performances marked by free improvisation, contemporary music, jazz, chamber pop, indie, electro pop and other art forms. She’s now performing with the C5300LB cello mic from Remic Microphones from Denmark. FOH engineer Tom Meyer credited the C5300LB as “very fine, natural” and “very balanced.”
Schiøtt, who was educated at the Norwegian Academy of Music, has toured extensively, with more than 300 concerts worldwide.
“My usual setup when miking my cello was a contact mic in combination with a small clip-on condenser microphone, but I was never satisfied with the sound response,” says Schiøtt. “I tried out the Remic C5300LB, which was an entirely new experience. The stage monitor sound is much better than what I’m used to and even without the stage monitor, the sound of my cello comes out crystal clear from the P.A. After that first experience with the Remic, I packed away my contact mic and the small clip-on mic. With the Remic, it finally sounds like my cello.”
Her FOH engineer Tom Meyer, of TM Tour Productions adds, “In my opinion, the Remic sounds very fine, natural, is very balanced and, as a result of this, is easy to place in the mix. I also listened to the cello track on my headset, and found that the isolation from other instruments on stage was as good as her contact-mic.”
