Performance That Captures the Essence
The Silver 17 is engineered to provide a unique sonic signature. Its innovative design allows for the microphone’s electrical charge to be applied directly to the diaphragm through the mounting ring. This results in an airy and forward sound, which is essential for capturing the nuances of acoustic instruments and vocals.
Recording artists and audio engineers will appreciate the depth this microphone brings to recordings, whether in a studio setting or during live performances. Its ability to handle high SPL (Sound Pressure Level) makes it versatile enough for both soft and loud sources without compromising on audio fidelity.

As with all Soyuz products, each Silver 17 microphone is handcrafted in Russia with meticulous attention to detail. This commitment to quality ensures that every unit meets the high standards expected by professionals in the industry. Additionally, it is packaged with a beautiful wooden box, shockmount, and external power supply, underscoring its premium status.
