Critic Reviews

Soyuz 013 Ambisonic

soundonsound.com

Soyuz's 013 Ambisonic microphone offers a unique, characterful twist on traditional Ambisonic mics, appealing to studio musicians with its vibrant presence and high SPL handling. The mic's stunning build quality and inclusion of a quality shockmount and case are commendable. However, the lack of a windshield and the restrictive plug-in registration process for transcoding could be off-putting for some. Its livelier sound may suit rock and pop better than classical genres, and its stereo imaging doesn't quite match the Soundfield ST450 MkII. While not cheap, it presents an intriguing alternative for those seeking more than another U47 clone.
