Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The silver 1973 S is a large-diaphragm condenser with a handmade, S23-based capsule and transformerless design. Its compact body helps when placement is tight, and the custom resonator is designed to reduce unwanted resonance while adding some plosive protection. For vocal recording, voiceover, and podcast work, it pairs that protection with low self-noise in the Soyuz range. Selectable -10 dB and -20 dB pads also make it suitable for louder sources, including kick drums and amplifiers.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Recording vocals, voiceovers, or podcasts where the resonator’s plosive protection is useful.
- Miking kick drums and amplifiers by engaging the -10 dB or -20 dB pad.
- Placing a large-diaphragm condenser in hard-to-reach miking positions.
