Soyuz Microphones 013 FET-B Small Diaphragm Condenser Microphone Standard

The 013 FET small-diaphragm condenser melds 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. This model comes in a black chassis.

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 (a -20db pad is included, correctly placed in the signal path between capsule and

electronics) in a warm, pleasing way.

The 013 FET model features the S13 capsule and a "pencil" style form factor. The 013 FET’s transistor circuit captures transients with a fast response. The engineers at Soyuz have spent decades studying, servicing and building classic microphones; 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.
