Sound Pure's Take

From Soyuz 013 FET page:

After bringing in Soyuz's microphones, we've been consistently impressed with the quality, richness, and ease they bring to recording sessions. The new 013 FET SDC is the newest addition to the family, and we expect it will have the same detailed and finished sound that makes their more expensive mics such heavy-hitters. Based on the frequency graph and specs made available thus far, we expect their first FET SDC to be a polished workhorse pencil mic with it's flat low-end and mid-range frequency response. Coupled with a slight rise in the "air" and "openness" range, we expect the 013 to be a clear and honest, yet musical SDC with the same impeccable build quality we've seen on their other three mic models.
