The Silver 17 utilizes a hand-machined, gold-sputtered 34mm capsule paired with a 6ZH1P vacuum tube. By applying an electrical charge directly to the diaphragm and routing the signal through the mounting ring, the design achieves an airy, forward sound profile while maintaining the harmonic saturation necessary for vocals, drums, and acoustic instruments. This configuration positions the microphone as a more articulate alternative to the existing 017 tube model.
Soyuz Debuts Silver 17 Tube Condenser Microphone
Drawing inspiration from the vintage Soviet LOMO 19A18 and the classic K67 capsule, the new Silver 17 tube condenser microphone aims to expand the sonic palette of the Soyuz 017 series. The Russian-made microphone arrives as a high-end option for engineers seeking increased presence and clarity in studio recordings.
Each unit is handmade in Russia and ships as a complete kit, including an external power supply, necessary cabling, a shockmount, and a protective wooden box. The release represents a significant addition to the prestige market, emphasizing the brand's commitment to combining traditional Soviet-era engineering influences with modern, high-fidelity studio requirements.
