The transformerless circuit brings self-noise down to 18dB(A), the lowest figure in the current Soyuz lineup. The compact, side-address body with a grille machined into the housing departs from the brand's signature \"lollipop\" shape, making the mic easier to place in tight setups - inside a kick drum, close to a guitar cabinet, or near the fretboard of an acoustic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe S23 capsule: midrange presence without harshness\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe S23 is a triple-backplate capsule inspired by the AKG CK12, redesigned by Soyuz engineers from a 1970s LOMO reference and further adapted from the 023 Bomblet. Two 33mm diaphragms, one gold-sputtered, produce a forward, articulate midrange without a harsh top-end lift - a common issue on vocals and acoustic guitar, where comparably priced mics often need EQ to reach the same clarity. The hand-machined built-in resonator reduces body resonance and adds a degree of plosive protection, which lets the 1973 work directly on vocal sources without extra pop filtering in many situations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHandling loud sources without overload\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA two-position -10dB\/-20dB pad lets you place the 1973 on a kick drum, guitar amp, or other high-SPL source without overloading the capsule - maximum SPL rating is 140dB. There's no built-in high-pass filter, so low-frequency shaping stays in the engineer's hands at the preamp or mix stage, which many find preferable to a fixed filter curve. 48V phantom powering and a standard XLR-3M output keep the mic compatible with any conventional signal chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eS23 capsule with two 33mm diaphragms, one gold-sputtered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransformerless FET design with low self-noise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-machined built-in resonator reducing plosives and resonance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitchable -10dB \/ -20dB pad for high-SPL sources\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact side-address body for tight mic placement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully hand-machined body and capsule\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in silver and black finishes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes microphone mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: FET large-diaphragm condenser microphone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapsule: S23, two 33mm diaphragms (one gold-sputtered)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolar pattern: cardioid (fixed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency range: 30Hz - 18kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensitivity: 24.5 mV\/Pa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput impedance: 150 Ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended load impedance: 1 kOhm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum SPL: 140dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelf-noise: 18dB(A)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePad: -10dB \/ -20dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowering: 48V phantom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnector: XLR-3M\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 100 x 55mm (length x diameter)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 300g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: silver, black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Soyuz Microphones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54127366963537,"sku":"55379","price":914.52,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/SoyuzMicrophones19731.jpg?v=1783082072","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/fr-fr\/products\/soyuz-microphones-1973","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
