Soyuz - 013 FET White
When you pick up the Soyuz 013 FET, you immediately sense that this studio microphone is not a simple tool, but an instrument designed to bring out every nuance with rare elegance. Its sound signature is both precise and warm, calibrated to reproduce the air and subtlety of the most delicate sources without ever lapsing into clinical coldness. The S13 capsule, the heart of the beast, captures details with a musical clarity that always retains a touch of humanity, as if each note were breathing more freely. Add to this the subtle coloration of the in-house toroidal transformer and you have a recording companion that draws your takes like a sound craftsman, capable of marrying technicality and emotion in the same breath. In short, a piece designed for demanding ears, but one that remains inspiring, a bit like a conversation you won't forget.
Presentation
Designed around a FET circuit combined with a proprietary toroidal transformer, the Soyuz 013 FET infuses a depth and colour that reminded engineers of the heyday of classic condenser mics. Yet it has a personality all of its own, capable of reproducing fast transients naturally while adding a hint of smoothness at the top end of the spectrum. You may have used famous vintage models before, but this one brings a contemporary flavour that pleasantly surprises with every pick-up.
With a linear frequency response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz and a signal-to-noise ratio of 18 dBA, the Soyuz 013 FET is equally at home in close miking or as a drum overhead. Its -10dB pad makes it stress-free to handle sound pressure levels of up to 143dB SPL, opening the door to intense sources like brass or the most dynamic percussion. In the studio, this versatility clearly makes all the difference and gives you peace of mind when you press rec.
When it comes to everyday use, the Soyuz 013 FET shines with its compact 122 x ∅25 mm format and featherweight of 200 g, making it easy to place in creative situations. Connected to 48 V phantom power, it fits straight into any studio setup, from home setup to pro environment. Supplied with an elegant wooden box and a sturdy microphone clip, it can be carried and stored like a precious item that you'll be happy to bring out again and again.
