The Soyuz 011 FET is a compact small-diaphragm condenser microphone designed to deliver detailed, natural recordings with a balanced and musical character. Built around a custom 19 mm gold-sputtered capsule manufactured entirely in-house, the microphone provides a focused low end, smooth midrange, and clearly defined top end. This voicing allows instruments and acoustic sources to sit naturally in a mix while maintaining clarity and articulation.
The microphone features a transformerless circuit, which contributes to a fast transient response and a clean, noise-free signal. This design allows the 011 FET to capture subtle nuances in performances without sounding harsh or overly analytical. Its extended frequency response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, along with a cardioid polar pattern, makes it well suited for recording acoustic instruments, drum overheads, strings, percussion, and a wide range of studio or live applications.
With a maximum SPL of 130 dB and an included -10 dB inline pad, the 011 FET handles both delicate sources and louder instruments such as close-miked drums or amplifiers. The microphone’s compact body which measures 91 mm in length with a 19 mm diameter, makes it easy to position in tight recording setups, while its lightweight 76 g construction allows flexible placement in stereo arrays or complex microphone configurations.
Combining precision machining, a custom capsule, and a carefully tuned electronic design, the Soyuz 011 FET offers a versatile solution for engineers and musicians seeking detailed, musical capture in a small and durable format suitable for studio or stage use.
