Big, Classic Large-diaphragm FET Condenser Sound

The Soyuz 017 FET large-diaphragm condenser microphone includes an interchangeable lollipop-style cardioid capsule with a hand-tuned, gold-sputtered 34mm diaphragm. Like all Soyuz microphones, the 017 FET is handcrafted in Russia. The body and capsules are manually machined; transformers are wound in-house; and the hand wiring is point-to-point. The 017 FET delivers the big, classic condenser mic sound that makes your recordings come to life.

Warmth, dimension, and detail

The 017 FET’s handmade capsule makes these high-performance microphones the perfect choice when warmth, dimension, and detail are critical. The exceptional clarity and silky-smooth top end make the 017 FET ideal for capturing the subtle nuances of vocals, strings, and other complex instruments with challenging transients and sonics that span the full frequency spectrum. For louder sources, optional 10, 15, and 20dB pads are available that screw in between the capsule and electronics. So yes — the capsules are interchangeable, which makes the Soyuz 017 FET a super-versatile, well-rounded performer in the studio and onstage.

S17 capsule

Collectively, the engineers at Soyuz have spent decades studying, servicing, and building classic microphones; this unique pool of knowledge, craft, and skill — combined with the golden ears of numerous musicians, producers, and audio engineers — has culminated in the creation of the custom S17 capsule used in the 017 Series. Based on the legendary K67 capsule developed in 1960, Soyuz has further modified the design to achieve an airy yet accurate high end, elegantly smooth midrange presence, and a robust but balanced bottom end.

Instant Classic

The 017 FET has quickly become the go-to vocal microphone of such artists as Coldplay, Radiohead, Shawn Mendes, the Lumineers, and Paramore, among others. Well-known producers and engineers who have adopted it include Nigel Godrich (Radiohead, Paul McCartney, Beck), Ryan Hewitt (Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Lumineers, Lady Gaga), Sylvia Massy (Prince, Johnny Cash), and Butch Walker (Pink, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Avril Lavigne) and many more.
