Soyuz Microphones 013 FET-MAC Matched Pair Microphone Set
Soyuz are very proud to present the Soyuz 013 FET small diaphragm condenser microphone. The 013 FET features the same capsule as their SU-011 tube microphone but with a FET pre-amp. Soyuz worked very hard to develop their own proprietary transformer, which gives the 013 FET a rich and beautiful sound. It comes in Soyuz’ signature cream and brass as well as in classic black. The green badged 013 FET comes in a compact wood carrying case with a pair of 10dB pads and mounting clips making it easy to take on the road for a remote gig or a live show.
Warmth
The 013 TUBE and 013 FET small diaphragm condensers meld audio precision and transformer color into a combination of unparalleled musicality. Best-in-class transient response and the ability to capture precise detail make them ideal as drum overheads as well as for the recording of acoustic guitar, piano, choral ensembles, strings, orchestras: in short, any application in which clarity is necessary and character desired.
Focused and Smooth
The 013 Series combines the best elements of classic SDC designs with a unique character of its own. Both tube and FET versions capture sound with precision while imparting a warm sonic signature. The smooth top end and a midrange accuracy that is musical – never clinical – enable the recording of complex, transient-rich instruments and sounds that span the frequency spectrum and dynamic range in a warm, pleasing way.
Heritage of Innovation; Tradition of Excellence
The engineers at Soyuz have spent decades studying, servicing and building classic microphones; Soyuz’ machinists are the best in the world. This unique pool of knowledge, craft and skill – combined with the ears of numerous musicians, producers and audio engineers – has culminated in the creation of the 013 Series’ custom S13 capsule. The S13, with its detailed top end, warm mid-range, and balanced low-end possesses a remarkable ability to capture source material with an accuracy that is always flattering, never harsh.
Pick a Color
The 013 series comes in a black or cream color. The cream has a smooth sheen finish and the black with textured power coating. Soyuz suppply all 013 tube microphones with cream power supplies, reguardless of color. The microphones come with matching capsules and clips.
Handcrafted
As with all Soyuz microphones, the 013 series mics are completely handmade: bodies and capsules are manually machined and transformers are wound in-house in Tula, Russia.
