Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Soyuz’s 1973 Deluxe is a compact FET condenser microphone with a handcrafted capsule, cardioid pattern and a custom resonator. The result is described as smooth and punchy, with solid low end, forward mids and open highs. Its resonator reduces unwanted resonance while offering some plosive protection, making it a focused choice for vocals, voiceovers and podcasts. Selectable -10 dB and -20 dB pads also extend its use to louder sources such as kick drums and guitar amps.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Recording vocals, voiceovers or podcasts where some plosive protection and reduced resonance are useful.
- Capturing kick drums or guitar amps using the selectable -10 dB or -20 dB pads.
- Taking a compact condenser to hard-to-reach recording positions or mobile setups.
