Product Description

The Soyuz SU-013 Small Diaphragm FET Condenser Microphone is the newest member of the Soyuz family. In a break from tradition, the SU-013 is available in both Soyuz signature cream and brass and in black, for applications requiring a less visually conspicuous appearance.

The SU-013 features a carefully designed, low-noise Field Effect Transistor topography and the rich sound of custom in-house created and crafted toroidal transformers.

Sound

The SU-013's classic internal transformer design creates a detailed sound that is robust in the lower frequencies, rich in the midrange, and silky smooth in the upper register.

Features:

  • 100% handmade in Russia
  • Proprietary toroidal transformer
  • 25 mm gold sputtered diaphragm capsule
  • Optional capsules: omni, hypercardioid
  • -10 dB Pad and clip included
  • Comes in a hand-crafted Russian hardwood box

Great mic! I love the high definition and detail to subtle differences on timbre and dynamics. I use this mic to record violin.

Although this mic didn't perform as well as a KM84 on the snare, it was a dramatic improvement over a 57. On acoustic guitar and mandolin, though, this mic really shined. It captured the warmth and tone of the body while still getting all of the shimmering highs. For the money, this mic great.

Fantastic replacement for my KM184’s and 451B’s. Thanks Josh!!!!

By Phil G on July 15, 2019

It has a lovely sound and after two years of extensive use in every possible instrument, it has proven a very flexible microhone.
Very detailed but never harsh
There are only two cons:
- The provided clips do not tightly hold the microphone it can accidentally fall (has happened in my studio)
- It is noisy!! at least 10db noisier compared (in real world) to a KSM184. So even when it sounds lovely on acoustic guitars, it will be evidently noisy when the guitar is softly played (i.e. arpeggios).

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.

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.

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.
