The 1973 Deluxe is a high-end yet affordable large-diaphragm condenser mic that gives you world-class build quality and a handcrafted capsule for an unbeatable value. Like the other mics in the Soyuz line, the 1973 Deluxe is a modern classic, not a copy or clone. It's made the old-fashioned way with meticulous attention to detail.

A Unique Capsule With Punch
The 1973 Deluxe features a version of Soyuz's acclaimed S23 capsule, also found in their 023 Bomblet mic. The S23 is a one-of-a-kind capsule with an interesting history. In the 1970s, LOMO redesigned an AKG CK12 capsule and gave it three backplates for more consistency. In 2015, Soyuz's engineers reengineered it for the 023 Bomblet and adapted it again for the 1973 Deluxe. It delivers the same smooth response and punchy character that has made it renowned.
