Larger than life The 017 TUBE and 017 FET large-diaphragm condenser microphones represent the modern embodiment of the classic big sound so prized in vintage mics. Like the finest musical instruments, all Soyuz microphones are completely handmade and feature hand-machined and tensioned capsules. The 017 captures every detail with stunning depth, warmth and silky transparency, especially in the high frequencies. These sonic characteristics allow the mic to complement the subtle nuances of vocals and strings while accurately capturing the most complex instruments.
The tsar of microphones The classic 017 sound was considered impossible to achieve with new pickups. Engineers routinely spent small fortunes on vintage condensers and struggled to keep them operational as they aged, as newer models – and even reissues – were often not imbued with the same necessary features despite their high price tag. It's not surprising: manufacturing techniques have changed, why not the results? With its open top end, smooth midrange, powerful – yet balanced – low end, and remarkably robust build quality, the 017 is destined to be the future benchmark for that elusive blend of precision and sonic flattery that sent vintage prices.
