Soyuz 013 FET-M Black

A Series 013 designed as a nod to the great classics, without being a direct copy

The Series 013 combines elements inspired by vintage studio microphone designs with its own sonic identity. Within the range, it is available in TUBE and FET approaches: the goal remains the same, to capture with precision while adding warmth and musicality. This FET version, powered by +48 V phantom, aims for easy integration into any studio setup, from home studios to professional control rooms, while maintaining a smooth top end.

Who is this matched stereo pair for and what studio applications?

With two matched microphones, this set is designed for all scenarios where channel coherence is crucial: drum overheads, piano in pair, acoustic guitar in stereo, string ensembles, choirs, room ambience, or live recording capture. The cardioid pattern helps isolate the main source while maintaining controlled ambience, useful in untreated rooms as well as booths.

The character described by the Series 013 translates into smooth highs (less harsh on cymbals, strings, and vocals) and precision in the mids that helps complex sources remain clear in a mix. It is a relevant choice if you are looking for a condenser microphone capable of quickly reproducing transients while avoiding harshness in the upper spectrum.

Key features: level control, detail, and reliable stereo image

-10 dB pad: more headroom on powerful sources

The -10 dB pad is a direct ally on very dynamic or close-miked sources: snare drum, brass, guitar amp, percussion, or low-placed overheads. It reduces the input level to the preamp and preserves comfortable gain reserve while limiting distortion risks in the recording chain.

25 mm gold-plated diaphragm: presence and finesse across the full useful range

The 25 mm gold-plated diaphragm capsule is designed to provide rich and nuanced reproduction, with a noticeable sense of "size" and depth on wide sources (piano, overheads, room). Combined with a stated frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz, it covers the low end with solidity and rises without harshness, facilitating EQ and compression in the mix.

Matched pair: quick placement, clear panning

In stereo, two matched microphones simplify the work: identical sensitivity and timbre behavior, a more stable image, and more reproducible results from session to session. Whether working in XY, ORTF (depending on mounts), close AB, or ambient recordings, you get a credible soundstage and a solid center.
