Handcrafted to deliver signature Soyuz musicality in a compact, stereo-matched pair, the 011 FET is a fully transformerless small-diaphragm condenser mic designed equally for studio, stage, and broadcast applications. With its ultracompact design and black matte finish, the 011 FET is built for versatility and discretion.

Thanks to its transformerless circuitry and 19mm gold-sputtered cardioid diaphragm, the 011 FET offers an accurate, smooth response without sacrificing warmth. Optional omni and hypercardioid capsules are available when special applications call for them. And with a hand-machined body and capsule, this mic is designed to stand the test of time. The 011 FET includes a -10 dB in-line pad, a wooden microphone case, and a mic clip.

Offered here in a factory-matched pair, these condenser microphones are ideal for stereo recording, especially as drum overheads, for choir or orchestra capture, and recording percussion setups, horn, or amplified ensembles, piano, and more.

Like all other Soyuz products, the 011 FET features an original capsule 100% made in house and crafted with unmatched precision. The brand new 011 series capsule was developed to have a controlled low end, smooth midrange, and defined top end resulting in a pleasing combination that punches through any mix. The hand-machined mic body is constructed to endure any scenario making the 011 FET an ideal choice, from spontaneous recording sessions to worldwide tours.

The 011 FET's transformerless circuit allows for a faster and more articulate response without sacrificing warmth or character. Transformerless mics offer engineers a wider dynamic range and higher max SPLs before distortion, especially in lower frequencies. Enjoy the benefits of a lower noise floor with an accuracy that preserves the soul of your sound.

With a smaller, lightweight form factor, the 011 FET is perfect for fine-tuning mic placements in any configuration and can stay out of the way while making sure your sound stands out. The black matte finish is discrete and blends in perfectly with stages and backgrounds during live performances or broadcasts.

The 011 FET boasts a wide dynamic range and the included -10 dB in-line pad ensures any source is covered, from delicate strings in a quiet concert hall to the attack of a snare drum, close mic'd and slamming. Additional hypercardioid and omnidirectional capsules are easily swappable to further dial in any sound you come across. Whether you're looking for a clean and pristine capture or if you love to layer with color and vibe, the 011 FET will adapt naturally to any signal chain and prove to be a trusted tool in your mic locker.

Q: 2. I saw no serial number and model number was printed on the microphone

A: The information is written around the top and bottom portions of the mic handle.

Q: 3. Is it possible to change the capsules to put some with other polar patterns?

A: I was a little surprised to find that the C02 does indeed have a modular capsule design, and it would suggest this intent. However, Samson does not appear to make or sell any other capsules that would fit (at this time). Perhaps they will in the future.

Q: 4. Will this fit the Aston Stealth?

A: The Gator Deluxe Universal Shockmount for 18-55mm Studio Condenser Microphones will not fit the Aston Stealth which is 57.91mm.

Q: 5. which one of these Rycote shock mounts are best for Sennheiser MKH 50?

A: You can use the Rycote INV-7 InVision Microphone Suspension for Stand and Boompole Mounting (B&H # RYINV7) or Rycote InVision INV-HG mkIII Microphone Suspension - Lyre Shockmount (B&H # RYINVHGMKIII) with the Sennheiser MKH 50. The MKH 50 is 150mm long and the INV-6 accommodates mics that are less than 120mm long, so the INV-6 won't work. The INV-7 is for mics that are longer than 120mm and the INV-HG is also suitable for the MKH 50.

Q: 6. What shock mount would you recommend for these mics?

A: Here's one good option BH #AVSSM. Please note, if placing this on a boom pole, you would also need a 3/8'' to 5/8'' adapter like this B&H # AUADCOMBOS.

Q: 7. What size thread are the included shock mounts?

A: The shock mounts that are included with the Samson C02 Pencil Condenser Microphones have a 5/8"-27 thread.

Q: 9. Is this Microphone can be hanging from the ceiling as well?

A: You can, but it is not intended to be hung from the ceiling. You may want to consider the Astatic 2600VP for a high quality hanging mic: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/754716-REG/Astatic_2600VP_Variable_Polar_Pattern_Hanging.html

Q: 10. Does this require phantom power to run? And can it pass phantom power on to, say, a condenser mic?

A: This does require phantom power to run, however it will not pass phantom power. The booster is intended for use with dynamic and ribbon mics.
