What We Think
The Soyuz 1973 is Soyuz’s tribute to the golden age of transistor condenser microphones—specifically capturing the punchy, articulate, and transformer-rich character of classic late-1960s and 70s FET designs. Hand-built in Tula with the same painstaking craftsmanship as their flagship models, the 1973 was created to offer genuine boutique Soyuz quality and handmade capsule tone at a far more accessible price point.
At the core of the 1973 is a proprietary, hand-sputtered LOMO-inspired capsule paired with Soyuz's custom in-house wound toroidal transformer. Unlike many mid-tier FET condensers that rely on harsh, hyped top-end boosts to create "air," the 1973 delivers a balanced, mix-ready sound with a full-bodied low end, present midrange, and smooth, natural highs. It gives you the immediate weight and depth of a vintage FET workhorse without requiring heavy-handed correction EQ later in the mix.
Manufacturer's Description from Soyuz
The 1973 is a high-end yet affordable LDC microphone that features a handmade capsule and world-class build quality. Like the other mics in the Soyuz family, the 1973 is neither a copy nor a clone but rather a “modern classic”. It was developed and built in the old fashioned way: in-house with maximum attention to detail and no corners cut.
THE CAPSULE
The 1973 features a version of our own S23 capsule. The S23 is a completely unique capsule with a very interesting history. In the early 1970s LOMO redesigned an AKG CK12 capsule, giving it three backplates in order to increase consistency. In 2015 our Soyuz engineers redesigned it for the 023 Bomblet and have now further adapted it for the 1973.
THE RESONATOR
The 1973 features a custom resonator that reduces unwanted resonance and also adds a degree of plosive protection, making the 1973 extremely well suited for vocals, voiceovers and podcasts.
THE DESIGN
The form factor of the 1973 makes it perfect for miking those hard-to-reach places. The 1973 is solid, compact and extremely durable— built to last a lifetime.
THE PAD
The 1973 has both a -10 and -20 dB pad, making it well suited for high volume sources such as kick drums and amps.
THE SOUND
The 1973 features a transformerless design and has the lowest self-noise of any of our microphones. Nonetheless, it retains what many people call “the Soyuz Sound,” with lows that are present but not boomy, a midrange that’s forward but not boxy, and a high end that’s open and airy without being harsh.
About Manufacturer
Boutique, hand-made microphones from Russia. Possessing a stunning visual look and a smooth, rich, but clear and focused sound quality, the Soyuz mics have already made a very large impression on the industry after only being around for a very short amount of time. Popular artists such as Radiohead, Coldplay, Paramore, and The Lumineers have gone on record to support the mics and confirm they were used on their most recent records.
