@yevheshko@brandonhull No. Soyuz Microphones is a completely different company. Tula Mics is based in Houston and manufactured in Malaysia. I'm American. I'm the primary designer for both brands. I'm the founder of Tula and the co-founder of Soyuz. I must say that I'm appalled at the way the west has been so quick to condemn anyone who happens to be Russian because of the actions of their government, which they have zero control over. I'm an American and I feel lucky that I haven't been blamed for the horrific invasions my country has been involved in recent decades. I had no say in those events and the average Russian has no say in what's going on right now. The 43 very kind and decent people who work at the Soyuz factory should not be blamed for this war. Forgive the long winded answer but I'm really tired of this. The Saudis are bombing civilians in Yemen every single day but we have no problem buying their oil or selling them arms. America has killed countless civilians in our distant wars and yet people still buy our products. Why, because of the actions of Vladimir Putin is the entire Russian population blamed? Soyuz has zero to do with the Russian government or the Russian military and the bulk of our profits and taxes are paid in the US via our company in LA.
@brandonhull@david_tulamics David, thank you for your detailed response! It is truly horrible that both nations suffer from the actions of one man — Vladimir Putin — us, Ukrainians, from bombings and the horros of war, and Russians economically from sanctions and isolation, that are a direct result of their government's actions. I must disagree that Russians have zero control — they are the ones who elected Putin president, and they are the single power who's able to remove him, stop the war and lift sanctions (if that's what they want to do) — it's always a choice to tolerate a certain way of things or resist it, like Ukrainians resisting the invasion and coming out to peaceful protests in the cities that have already been occupied by Russian military. There's always a choice.
@yevheshko@david_tulamics I'm not condemning you or the company. But I know this is an important issue to many people right now -- whether they're supporting companies based in Russia or not, and they would want that full transparency. Just like others want full transparency about where their food is grown, or whether products have been made with child labor, etc.
Hello Everyone,
My name is David Brown. I’m the founder of Tula Mics. I’m a lifelong musician and songwriter. I was Beck’s sax player back in the late 90s and for the past 20+ years I’ve been the leader of the cult band, Brazzaville.
In 2014, I founded a high-end pro audio company called Soyuz Microphones. It’s since grown into a well respected brand used by the likes of Coldplay and Radiohead. In the past 8 years we’ve grown from just my partner and I and a crazy capsule scientists to over 50 employees and our own factory.
In 2022, more people that ever require high-quality audio but often don’t have the means or the expertise to achieve it. Podcasts, YouTube channels and home offices have exploded in recent years and they all require an easy way of capturing professional-quality sound. Enter the Tula Mic.
The Tula Mic is a stylish and portable USB microphone that works effortlessly with computers phones and tablets. It’s also a standalone mobile recorder capable of up to 12 hours of recording using its own internal battery and memory. It has exceptional build quality and it fits in your pocket.
The Tula features an embedded noise reduction system called Brusfri, developed by the Swedish software company, Klevgrand.
Tula is not in the concept of prototype stage. We’re already in mass production and have had more than a million dollars in sales in our first year. There are thousands of happy Tula users around the world and we have a 4.5 star rating on Amazon.
If you’re interested in getting a Tula Mic of your own, we’re offering a special limited time offer of 15% off for Product Hunters.
Last but definitely not least, I’d like to thank Chris Messina for hunting us!
Hi -- I'm a film/TV producer and songwriter. And I love the TULA. For anyone thinking of purchasing, here's a copy of the review I wrote for Amazon...
Full disclosure -- I bought my mic directly from the Tula website to take advantage of a promotion. But I'm a huge Amazon-aholic, so I wanted to leave a review here too.
I'm not usually a big "leave-a-review" kind of guy, but the Tula's one-two punch of rock solid audio quality and really throughtful features made it a game changer for me.
I initially bought it for field recording. I'm a songwriter/music producer, and I wanted something that could capture song ideas out in the world... strumming a guitar in my living room, jamming with friends, even singing in my car. The Tule rules at this. I turn it on, hit record, then later plug it into my Mac and copy the sound files over.
The quality is so good that I've actually dropped some vocal and acoustic guitar tracks into Logic Pro and used them in final mixes. I haven't tried the noise reduction features yet, but these seem really ace as well. ONE CAVEAT: it doesn't really handle SUPER loud sounds (eg, a rock band rehearsing at full volume).
Then, because the Tula was already plugged into my computer, I tried it on a Zoom call. Which was also easy (I just selected "Tula Microphone" from the Audio Input in the Zoom Preferences window, with a Bluetooth earbud as my Audio Output to allow for duplexing). And it totally elevated my Zoom game, a huge leap in naturalness and clarity. People complimented how good I sounded.
So now I use the Tula for all my direct-to-computer podcasting/VO/Zoom stuff, AND field recording. It does all these things so much better than my old systems. And it's tiny, and great looking, and well-built -- so you just WANT to take it places.
To sum up: highly recommended.
