Additional Information

Customer Review Summary

The Soyuz 013 FET-M is an exceptional small diaphragm condenser microphone that truly stands out in its category.

It delivers a sound that rivals the renowned “Neumann sound”, making it an excellent choice for those seeking high-quality audio capture.

The microphone captures sound with remarkable depth and precision, producing a beautiful and balanced top end that avoids a “clinical” feel. This characteristic makes it particularly versatile, as it shines in various applications.

I’ve found it to be my go-to for recording ambience, pianos, horns, strings, and both electric and acoustic guitars. The clarity in the high frequencies is superb, while the low end is round and warm, reminiscent of the KM84 by Neumann.

Overall, the Soyuz 013 FET-M is a fantastic choice for string instruments and stereo guitar recordings, as well as for capturing the richness of piano performances.
