The Soyuz 1973large-diaphragm condenser microphone is a classic microphone with a center-contact capsule and all the sonic characteristics that have made Soyuz famous in the audio scene worldwide. Like all Soyuz microphones including all mechanical parts, capsule and toroidal transformer, it is manufactured in our own factory. This is evidenced by the excellent build quality, the use of solid materials and the classic, high-resolution sound of all Soyuz microphones. A custom resonator reduces unwanted resonance and provides pop protection, making the Soyuz 1973 well suited for recording vocals and speech. It also features a limiting sound pressure of 140 dB(A) and very low self-noise. Due to its relatively small size, positioning of the Soyuz 1973 is possible even in hard-to-reach and tight locations. Phantom power is required for operation, which is transmitted via XLR cable.
