Soyuz 013 Ambisonic Small Diaphragm FET Mic Black

The Soyuz 013 Ambisonic microphone is an innovation in the worlds of spatial audio and creative recording. The 013A captures 360° surround sound with unmatched fidelity and character that will captivate any audience and translate across any system - stereo or beyond. With just a single mic, The 013 Ambisonic simplifies your setup and encourages you to explore new soundscapes with unrestricted flexibility. The included custom-matched Soyuz ambisonic plugins provide complete control in post-production, allowing you to further shape the sound field to your imagination.

Inspired by the forward-thinking designs of the past, the 013 Ambisonic microphone combines modern technological advancements with classic sound and unmistakable quality.

Producers like Steve Albini have notably used ambisonic mics to broaden the stereo field and impart a unique sonic signature across many records. They have been used as the sole microphone for complete albums, adopted by classical engineers for entire symphonies, and used across stages and film studios to create a truly immersive experience that translates to any system.

The 013 Ambisonic microphone brings this exciting recording technique to all creators, with an original, innovative design and features that surpass other mics in its class.

The 013A features four of our renowned 013 series capsules, all hand-machined in-house with absolute precision. Unlike the smaller capsules or electret designs found in other Ambisonic mics, these larger, custom 24mm condenser capsules provide a wider frequency range with enhanced detail and a low end that reaches deeper, creating a more lifelike, three-dimensional image of your recording.

Four Soyuz toroidal transformers add additional depth with a subtle character that complements any source.

This attention to detail and craftsmanship is a balance between art and engineering. The 013 Ambisonic is built to be the new benchmark for ambisonic recording.

ANY SOUND. ANY SYSTEM.

The 013 Ambisonic is easy to use and was designed to deliver exceptional results regardless of any system or playback format.

Recordings made with the 013A are future-proof and promise the same impactful immersion whether you're in an atmos theater or your car, and give you complete control to dial in your mix perfectly from stereo speakers to a concert in a sphere.

A WORLD OF SOUND. AVAILABLE TO ALL.
