AN AMBISONIC MIC BUILT

013 AMBISONIC
The Soyuz 013 Ambisonic has been meticulously engineered to set
a new standard with a vibrant sound in mind.

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.
