The Soyuz Microphones Silver 17 Tube Microphone brings a fresh voice to the world of premium large-diaphragm tube condensers, blending timeless analog warmth with an open, modern character.
Designed around Soyuz's newly developed S17E edge-terminated capsule, the Silver 17 delivers the rich lows and full-bodied midrange that made the 017 Series a studio favorite while adding greater presence, air, and articulation. Whether you're tracking lead vocals, acoustic instruments, piano, drum overheads, or voice-over work, the Silver 17 captures every performance with effortless depth and musicality that sits naturally in a mix with minimal EQ or processing. Handcrafted with the same uncompromising attention to detail that defines every Soyuz microphone, the Silver 17 is built entirely in-house using individually machined components, hand-tensioned diaphragms, custom transformers, point-to-point wiring, and the proven military-grade 6ZH1P vacuum tube. Its custom S17E capsule represents a complete redesign inspired by legendary vintage microphones, utilizing edge-termination and a center-screw-free diaphragm to improve responsiveness and high-frequency extension while maintaining exceptional smoothness. The result is a studio microphone that offers classic tube richness alongside the clarity and openness demanded by today's recording professionals. From intimate vocal performances to detailed acoustic recordings and polished broadcast applications, the Silver 17 delivers an inspiring combination of weight, dimension, and transparency that makes it an outstanding centerpiece for any professional recording studio.
