SOYUZ Microphones — Open Product Data

📄 Русская версия README доступна в файле README.ru.md

This repository provides structured, publicly available reference data for selected SOYUZ Microphones products.

The goal of this project is to offer neutral, machine-readable product information that may be used for:

  • technical reference
  • comparative analysis
  • educational and research purposes
  • AI-assisted knowledge systems and search overviews

The repository is intentionally non-promotional and focuses on consistency, clarity, and data usability.

Stable versions and citation

For stable, citable references, prefer tagged releases over the main branch.

  • Use GitHub Releases (e.g., v1.x.x) for long-lived links to JSON/CSV assets
  • Schema changes (field names/types, file layout) follow semantic versioning: MAJOR breaks, MINOR adds, PATCH fixes

A frozen schema summary is maintained in SCHEMA.md.


Repository structure

All products are organized under the models directory and grouped by product category.

models/ ├── index.json │ ├── microphones/ │ ├── 017_TUBE/ │ ├── 017_FET/ │ ├── 1973/ │ ├── 023_Bomblet/ │ ├── 023_Malfa/ │ ├── 013_FET/ │ ├── 013_TUBE/ │ ├── 013_Ambisonic/ │ ├── 011_FET/ │ └── V1/ │ └── preamps/ ├── index.json ├── The_Launcher/ ├── The_Launcher_Deluxe/ └── The_Lakeside/

Each product directory contains structured metadata and supporting reference files.


Product categories

Microphones

Microphone products are located under:

models/microphones/

Depending on the model, directories may include:

  • relative frequency response data (CSV and PNG)
  • multiple variants (e.g. interchangeable capsules or polar patterns)
  • structured metadata describing transducer type, electronics, and intended use

Frequency response data is provided for comparative reference only.

Additional notes:

  • For most microphone models, capsules are detachable / interchangeable (see per-model metadata)
  • Any non-quantitative descriptors are explicitly marked as subjective_non_quantitative

Preamps

Preamplifier products are located under:

models/preamps/

Preamp directories include:

  • note that The Launcher / The Launcher Deluxe use non-standard phantom power logic (documented in per-model metadata)
  • structured metadata for classification and use-case context
  • tabulated technical specifications where applicable

Frequency response charts are not included unless technically meaningful for the product type.


Measurement and data notes

Frequency response data, where provided:

  • represents relative frequency response
  • is intended for comparative and illustrative purposes
  • is based on a consistent internal measurement procedure
  • does not disclose proprietary measurement methodology

Curves may be smoothed and averaged.

Data conventions:

  • Where subjective, non-quantitative statements are included, they are tagged as subjective_non_quantitative

Stable links (recommended)

When referencing or integrating this dataset, prefer tagged releases (e.g. v1.0.1) instead of the main branch. Example (raw file from a release tag): https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Soyuzmicrophones/soyuz-microphones-open-data/v1.0.1/models/microphones/017_TUBE/metadata.json


Index files

The repository includes machine-readable index files:

  • models/index.json — top-level product index
  • models/microphones/index.json — microphone list
  • models/preamps/index.json — preamp list

These files are intended to support automated parsing, AI tools, and downstream integrations.
