The Soyuz 013 Ambisonic revolutionizes spatial and creative recording. It captures sound in 360° with remarkable fidelity and personality, capable of captivating any listener and adapting to all playback systems — stereo, binaural or immersive.
A single microphone is all you need: the 013 simplifies your setup and encourages you to explore new sonic territories with complete freedom. Thanks to its custom ambisonic plugins, you maintain total control in post-production, shaping your soundstage exactly as you envision it.
Whatever your project, the 013 Ambisonic produces dynamic and natural recordings, with a sound immersion that is hard to match.
A modern take on a classic technology
Inspired by the innovations of the 70s, the 013 Ambisonic combines today's technological advances with a rich sound and handcrafted quality.
Long kept under wraps, the ambisonic format has become the secret weapon of many engineers and producers seeking depth and originality. Steve Albini, among others, has used ambisonic microphones to widen the stereo image and imprint a unique sonic signature on numerous albums. These microphones have been used to record entire albums, capture full orchestras, and recreate immersive soundscapes for film and live performance.
The 013 Ambisonic democratizes this approach and makes it accessible to all creators. Its unique design and performance surpass the usual standards of ambisonic microphones. You get detailed, deep, and totally immersive sound, without limitations.
An uncompromising ambisonic microphone
Every aspect of the 013 Ambisonic has been designed to set a new standard.
It incorporates four 013 series capsules, machined in-house with extreme precision. Unlike the small electret capsules used in other ambisonic microphones, these are true 25mm condenser capsules with gold diaphragms, offering an extended frequency response, rich detail, and deep, natural bass.
Its four custom-made toroidal transformers add depth and a slight warm coloration, pleasing on all sources.
The meticulous attention to detail in every element reflects a balance between art and engineering. The 013 Ambisonic sets a new benchmark in the world of immersive sound.
A creative, ready-to-use control
The 013 offers a lively and realistic sound right from the recording stage, but it is in the mixing stage that its full potential is revealed.
In partnership with Audio Brewers , Soyuz offers a suite of ambisonic plugins developed specifically for this microphone, compatible with all major DAWs. The bundle allows you to transform your recordings into Ambison B format with real-time, latency-free monitoring.
The transcoder plugin is perfectly suited to the mechanical specifications of the 013A, while the decoder offers intuitive control of the sound field. Rotation, orientation, focus… all the tools are at your disposal to sculpt your soundstage in post-production.
This combination opens up an infinite creative field: stereo, binaural, surround, Atmos, headphones or speakers, everything is possible.
One microphone, all formats
The 013 Ambisonic is simple to use and designed to integrate easily into any production workflow.
It offers future-proof recording with immersive and impactful sound, whether in an Atmos cinema or on a pair of home speakers. You maintain complete control over your mix, regardless of the playback format.
A world of sound, accessible to all
The 013 Ambisonic is designed to inspire all creators: musicians, sound engineers, sound designers, directors, immersive content creators…
It opens up new sonic possibilities from a single take, with a single microphone. Unleash your creativity, without technical constraints.
