Reduces unwanted resonance and adds a degree of plosive protection.

Independent shopping perspective
Finished in black, the 1973 B is a large-diaphragm condenser built around a handmade, S23-based capsule. A transformerless design and low self-noise within the Soyuz line support detailed recording work, while the custom resonator reduces unwanted resonance and offers some plosive protection. Its compact format is useful where microphone placement is difficult. With switchable -10 dB and -20 dB pads, it also accommodates louder recording duties such as kick drums and amplifiers.
