Soyuz - 013 FET-B Black
With the Soyuz 013 FET-B, you enter the world of studio microphones designed as true precision instruments. This black condenser model, sculpted around an in-house gold-plated S13 capsule, embodies a rare combination of analytical clarity and musical warmth. Its frequency response, which extends from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, and its remarkably low distortion allow it to capture the finesse of attacks and the depth of resonances, without ever sacrificing the fluidity of the rendering. The presence of an exclusive toroidal transformer adds a subtle colour and harmonic thickness that will immediately appeal to seasoned ears. Lightweight and carefully calibrated, this 013 FET-B sits in its wooden case like a jewel of audio goldsmithery, ready to light up your outlets.
Presentation
When powered at 48 V, the 013 FET-B deploys a dynamic range that is as impressive for its control as it is for its elegance. With a maximum sound pressure level of 143dB SPL and a -10dB pad, this mic remains serene even in the face of the most intense sources, whether a guitar amp pushed to its limits or an energetic brass instrument. Its sensitivity of 20 mV/Pa, combined with a signal-to-noise ratio of 18 dBA equivalent, ensures crystal-clear pick-up, full of nuance, with every detail integrated seamlessly into the mix.
Soyuz engineers have designed the proportions of the 013 FET-B as a natural extension of your creative space. At 122 mm long and just 25 mm in diameter, and weighing just 200 g, it's effortless to handle and easy to integrate into your set. The wooden box packaging and supplied microphone clip further enhance the elegant, almost ceremonial feel, turning every installation into a little sound ritual. You can already imagine placing this microphone in front of a piano, acoustic guitar or drum overhead and savouring its warm, precise sound.
Every time you pick it up, you'll hear that special blend that is the Soyuz signature: a rich midrange that breathes, smooth highs without excess and balanced lows. The 013 FET-B's tight cardioid focuses your attention on the source while minimising unwanted leakage, making it a valuable ally in the modern studio. You could almost say it acts like a high-end photographic lens: it carefully isolates the subject while giving it an artistic dimension. For solo or stereo recording, it opens the door to striking sonic textures.
