While many high-end microphones today are clones of vintage German and Austrian tube or FET designs, they rarely sound identical to the originals. Soyuz Microphones takes a different approach—crafting proprietary designs that capture the magic of classic studio microphones while offering their own unique sonic character.
Handcrafted in Tula, Russia: A Legacy of Precision Engineering
Soyuz microphones are built at The Base, a dedicated factory in Tula, Russia, just two hours south of Moscow. This region has a rich history of metalworking dating back to the 18th century, making it the ideal location for crafting high-end condenser microphones. Many Soyuz engineers and technicians honed their skills at Oktava, Russia’s oldest microphone manufacturer, before bringing their expertise to Soyuz.
Old-World Craftsmanship Meets Modern Innovation
Unlike mass-produced microphones built with CNC tooling, Soyuz microphones are hand-assembled using traditional techniques. A visit to The Base feels like stepping into a 1960s German or Austrian microphone factory, where expert artisans in white lab coats carefully craft each microphone using manual lathes, drill presses, and analog bench test equipment.
In-House Manufacturing for Unmatched Sound Quality
At Soyuz, every part of the microphone—capsules, transformers, power supplies, and circuits—is meticulously built in-house. This hands-on approach results in a sonic character that modern computer-assisted manufacturing simply cannot replicate.
A New Generation of Modern Classics
Rather than copying vintage microphones, Soyuz creates its own iconic sound, blending the best of Russian, German, and Austrian microphone traditions. The result? Warm, rich, and detailed recordings that bring out the best in vocals, instruments, and studio productions. Whether you’re a musician, producer, or engineer, Soyuz microphones offer a level of depth and character that makes every recording shine.
