Soyuz Microphones 013 FET Single small diaphragm FET microphone (cardioid capsule, 10dB pad)

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.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.Type - Condenser FET microphone;Capsule -25mm gold sputtered membrane;Frequency Range - 20Hz / 20kHz;Polar Pattern - Cardioid/switchable capsules: hypercardioid, omni;Sensitivity - 20 mV/Pa;Impedance - 150 Ohms;SPL - 143 dB;Equivalent Noise - 16 dB (a-weighted);Power - Phantom 48V;Size - 122mm length x 25mm diameter (24mm capsule head diameter);Weight - 200 grams (single microphone);Extras - Wooden microphone box, -10 dB pad, Clip holder.
