Soyuz Microphones 013 FET-MAC Matched pair Small Diaphragm FET Microphones (cardioid, omni and hypercardioid capsules, 10dB pad) Standard

Description

Pair of small-diaphragm condensers with additional capsules.

The 013 FET small-diaphragm condenser melds audio precision and transformer color into acombination of unparalleled musicality. Best-in-class transient response and the ability to captureprecise 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 necessaryand character desired. This model includes two additional capsules, omni and hypercardiod.

The 013 Series combines the best elements of classic SDC designs with a unique character of itsown. Both tube and FET versions capture sound with precision while imparting a warm sonicsignature. The smooth top end and a midrange accuracy that is musical – never clinical – enable therecording of complex, transient-rich instruments and sounds that span the frequency spectrum anddynamic range (a -20db pad is included, correctly placed in the signal path between capsule andelectronics) 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 aremarkable ability to capture source material with an accuracy that is always flattering, never harsh.
