Clear & Detailed
MODERN
Airy highs, punchy mids, and a solid low end come together with the signature sound of premium transformers. Modern sits effortlessly in any mix, making it a natural choice for vocals and acoustic instruments.
One plug-in. The entire world of microphones.
Welcome to the new V13 KlangFormer.
Designed specifically for the uncolored, linear response of the WeissKlang V13, the V13 KlangFormer turns your pristine recordings into a versatile sonic canvas. The microphone's neutral character serves as the perfect foundation to shape vocals and instruments with total precision.
Eleven custom-crafted colorations utilize high-precision algorithms to deliver the authentic sound of transformers, vintage tubes, ribbons, and iconic combinations straight to your DAW. Simply choose the coloration that fits your vision and dial it in to taste: from open and modern to warm and silky, or bold and punchy.
Compatible with all major DAWs (VST3, AU, and AAX).
From a linear signal to your own sound.

COLORATIONS
One V13. Eleven microphones.
Punchy & Mid-Forward
VINTAGE
The defining, rustic sound of the '50s and '60s - present mids, defined lows, and brilliant highs. Vintage gives recordings an immediate, characterful presence.
Warm & Punchy
CLASSIC
Musical warmth meets natural highs, present mids, and full lows. Classic blends the best of transistor and transformer technology into a versatile tonal character.
Warm & Silky
TUBE
Harmonic tube coloration, silky highs, and full lows add saturation, depth, and dimension to the signal. Tube performs beautifully across a wide range of sound sources.
Balanced & Clear
RIBBON
The characterful sound of classic ribbon microphones, with defined mids and deliberately restrained highs. Ribbon excels on lead vocals, electric and acoustic guitars, brass sections, and piano.
Refined & Present
VIENNA
Warm, pronounced low-midrange weight, clear presence, and an unobtrusive top end deliver a refined, balanced sonic footprint. Deliberately generated harmonic saturation adds perceived density and three-dimensional spatial depth. Ideal for vocals, snare drum, acoustic guitar, and piano.
Smooth & Focused
VELVET
Controlled bass, focused mids, and gently tamed highs create a clear, cutting-through signal. Sculpted harmonic overtones add noticeable density without overemphasizing the upper frequency band. Suited for vocals, overheads, electric guitars, and pianos.
Precise & Defined
DIAMOND
Diamond trims the low end to make room for clarity and contour. Open mids and controlled highs shape a flawlessly precise, glass-clear sound with pinpoint definition.
Warm & Ambient
AURORA
Aurora wraps signals in a soft, gentle presence with subtly tempered highs - smoothing out harsh or overly forward sources and letting them settle naturally into the mix.
Bold & Characterful
LEGEND
Rich low-mids, pronounced presence, and controlled highs create a powerful, expressive sound. Legend gives thin signals more size, substance, and personality.
Massive & Solid
IRON
Powerful lows, punchy low-mids, and a pronounced presence build a rock-solid foundation. Saturation adds real weight and punch to the source, without ever turning harsh up top. Ideal for kick drums, bass, vocals, and drum busses.
Three knobs. Sound shaping in detail.
How much, how clear, how close - you're in control.
INTENSITY
Continuously dials in the selected coloration. From a subtle harmonic nuance to the full sonic profile, every shade remains fully in your control.
AIR
Extends top-end headroom and airiness across voices and acoustic instruments without introducing harshness.
PROXIMITY
Tames excessive proximity effect via an algorithm matched specifically to the V13. Low frequencies remain tight and controlled, preserving a balanced, natural vocal delivery.
Linear Preamp
To get the most accurate results, pair the V13 with a preamp that has as flat a frequency response as possible. This preserves the microphone's uncolored sonic foundation, giving KlangFormer a clean, neutral signal to work with. Most modern audio interfaces already include a suitable built-in preamp.
