Questions frequently asked
Is the Soyuz 013 Tube-M suitable for drum overheads?
The pair is designed for drum overheads, and its cardioid polar pattern helps to focus on the kit. The -10 dB pad and the maximum SPL of 143 dB make it easier to capture cymbals and percussion with sharp transients.
What power supply is required for these microphones?
A +48 V phantom power supply is required. The connection is made via XLR in a standard recording chain.
What sound character does it deliver for acoustic guitar and strings?
The frequency response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz reproduces the nuances of acoustic guitars and strings. The high end is described as smooth, while the midrange remains clear. Matching the two microphones promotes a wide and stable stereo image.
Is the -10 dB pad useful for brass instruments?
This -10 dB attenuator helps manage high-level sources, notably brass instruments. Combined with the 143 dB maximum SPL capacity, it reduces the risk of distortion when close-miking.
