The 1973 is a professional, yet affordable condenser microphone with a large diaphragm, handcrafted capsule, and world-class build quality.

Everything is done in a traditional way: in-house production capabilities, attention to detail, and no compromise on processes.

Made with Love
Remember the times when true craftsmanship was valued? When everything was made by hand, and the product went from idea to finished product in one place by the hands of one team with a shared dream. The developers at SOYUZ also miss those times, and that's why they manufacture microphones in this way. From a business perspective, it is less efficient than outsourcing production to a third party. But the result! It is worth it.
A Microphone for Ages
SOYUZ microphones are expensive and worth every penny. But until now, they have been out of reach for many. That's why the company set out to design and build a "SOYUZ" that could be sold at an affordable price. A people's microphone. SOYUZ engineers optimized where they could. They included only the essentials and managed to create a more affordable microphone that you can truly be proud of. SOYUZ proudly presents the "Soyuz 1973".
Capsule
The 1973 microphone is equipped with the S23 capsule - a SOYUZ development with an interesting creation story. In the early 1970s, the popular Austrian AKG CK12 capsule was modified at the LOMO plant, equipped with three electrodes to improve sound stability. In 2015, SOYUZ designers reworked the capsule for the 023 Bomblet series, and now additionally adapted it for the 1973 series.
Resonator
Next to the capsule in the microphone is a resonator that minimizes unwanted reflections and adds protection against blowing. This makes the 1973 extremely convenient for recording vocals and speech in podcasts and vlogs.
Attenuator
The microphone has a built-in attenuator with two operating modes: -10 dB and -20 dB for recording loud and very loud sources.
Design
The compact form factor of the 1973 makes it an ideal tool for recording in hard-to-reach places. Simple, sturdy, and reliable - this microphone will serve you for many years.
