Exquisite Craftsmanship Meets Affordability
Step into the world of professional audio with the Soyuz 1973, a large diaphragm condenser microphone that combines luxury sound with an accessible price tag. Crafted with a bespoke, handmade capsule and embodying world-class build quality, the 1973 isn't just another mic; it's a "modern classic" developed through traditional methods with meticulous attention to every detail.
The Capsule: A Unique Legacy
At its heart, the 1973 boasts the S23 capsule, a marvel of audio engineering. Initially inspired by the LOMO’s redesign of the AKG CK12 in the early 1970s, this capsule was enhanced by Soyuz engineers in 2015 for the 023 Bomblet and has now been perfectly adapted for the 1973, ensuring unparalleled consistency and quality.
Resonance Redefined
The microphone features a custom resonator designed to minimize unwanted resonances while adding an effective layer of plosive protection. This makes the 1973 an ideal choice for vocalists, voiceover artists, and podcasters looking for clear, crisp audio.
Design for Durability and Accessibility
With a form factor that allows access to those tricky recording spots, the 1973 is not only tough and compact but also built to endure the test of time. Its solid construction ensures it's a lifelong companion for any audio enthusiast or professional.
Versatile with Advanced Pad Options
Equipped with both -10dB and -20dB pads, the 1973 is perfectly suited for capturing high-volume sources like kick drums or guitar amps, offering flexibility in various recording scenarios.
The Sound Signature
Despite its transformerless design, the 1973 maintains the signature "Soyuz Sound" known for its balanced frequency response - delivering deep yet controlled lows, a clear and present midrange, and a high end that's both open and smooth.
