Customer Review Summary
The Soyuz 013 Tube-M is an impressive choice for anyone in search of a small-diaphragm condenser tube microphone. It offers a remarkably natural and lively sound that evokes the character of vintage Neumann tube microphones. This microphone excels across a variety of sources, particularly if you prefer smooth and musical high frequencies.
In terms of tonal quality, the SU-013 Tube-M distinguishes itself from its FET counterpart by providing a distinctive depth and colour that only a tube microphone can deliver. However, it is important to note that it has a noise floor of greater than 18dB (A-weighted). This could be a consideration for those working with very quiet sources, as the noise level might be perceived as too high. For applications requiring minimal noise, a FET small-diaphragm condenser microphone might be a better option.
Overall, the Soyuz 013 Tube-M is a fantastic tool for capturing a rich, warm sound, making it a worthwhile addition to any audio engineer’s collection.
