Soyuz 017 FET Large Diaphragm Condenser Mic

Point-to-point wired, FET based, large diaphragm condenser microphone
MFR# 017FET

Product Description

The Soyuz SU-017 FET Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone delivers sound as rich, warm, and beautiful as its handcrafted, polished design suggests. Swappable capsules make this high-performance microphone at home in a wide range of critical recording applications, from vocals to orchestral instruments.

The SU-017 FET shares the SU-017’s cardioid capsule, featuring a gold-sputtered, hand-tuned one-inch diaphragm. An omni-directional capsule is currently available, with additional patterns in development. As with all Soyuz microphones, the SU-017 FET is completely handmade: bodies and capsules are manually machined, transformers are wound in-house, and all wiring is true point-to-point. The SU-017 FET features a carefully designed, low-noise Field Effect Transistor topography and the rich sound of custom in-house created and crafted toroidal transformers.

In addition to excelling at recording vocals and orchestral instruments, the SU-017 FET has proven to be – with the available 10, 15, or 20 db pads – ideal for recording such difficult to capture high-decibel sources as kick drums and guitar and bass amplifiers.

Sound

The SU-017 FET employs the same handmade capsule as the SU-017, a proprietary toroidal transformer, and a completely original circuit design. These elements work together to deliver a tonal character that is as rich and detailed as it's tube brother's, but with the slightly faster transient response characteristic of a FET microphone.

  • 100% handmade in Russia

This is among the best microphones one can buy. It’s not at all sibilant, and while giving the detail of a FET, is not as sharp or fatiguing compared to most FET microphones while sounding very natural.

By Michael F on August 7, 2022

Absolutely fantastic mic for vocals. It really is the new gold standard, or at least should be. Works very well for strings too.

By Nic S on August 8, 2021

Real sleeper mic. Commonly out competes classic vintage options on the right source. Exceptional vocal mic. Buy this mic and all your wildest dreams will come true.

Grateful that VK let me try out a couple of mics before making my purchase.... this was the mic I was looking for... thanks again for the good customer service

By Treehouse S on December 23, 2020

I’ve used this microphone for the past couple of months and it’s AMAZING! It tends to lean more on the darker side of the spectrum and I love it. It’s fantastic on vocals and acoustic instruments. It just makes everything sound better!!

In almost 20 years in Pro audio buying, never did I receive a unit so well packed and exactly as described. Works flawlessly. The whole process has been so smooth. I will never hesitate to do business with you guys in the future and will recommend you to everyone I know.

This was my first experience buying something from Vintage King (although I surf the "used" categories on the website frequently!), and, despite being on the other side of the world, I had absolutely no trouble and everything went very smoothly.
Phil T.
The speed of delivery exceeded my expectations! I was VERY pleased that my shipment arrived in time for a scheduled vocal tracking session. The packing insured that my order arrived safely. And the sales staff responded quickly to questions regarding the product.

You guys have excellent customer service and I am excited about the next upgrade I complete on my fifth recording facility. I've been in the studio business for forty plus years. The salesman I worked with at Vintage King was the best of the best. You all rock!

My experience with Vintage King was excellent. The order was here fast considering it was out of stock. The sales person had SKB send it to me directly and I couldn't have been more pleased.
Michael D.
From the minute I placed my order I was kept well-informed through each step in your process. Even though I was buying a comparatively modest piece of gear, your attention to detail made me feel like I was purchasing a six-figure mixing desk.
Thomas W.
I am a new customer of yours. You guys provided me the absolute best deals in ordering all the equipment to power my brand new recording studio. Your customer service is amazing and i will always deal with you from here on out.
