Like the original P331, the EVL version uses digital controls for all analogue parameters. Left\/right matching is close to perfect. The fully differential solid-state output amplifier is unchanged. The \"LIFT\" circuit is also identical in both units.

It pairs a version of the 023 Bomblet's S23 capsule with a transformerless circuit, in a compact 10 cm body.

In Tape Op, the 1973 stands out for its clarity and articulation: the upper mids come forward without harshness, with less lower-mid weight than transformer-based microphones. Audiofanzine describes a warm, velvety sound, open highs and a deliberately non-flat response with two bumps around 2.5 and 4.5 kHz, and compares it on vocals and acoustic guitar with a Neumann TLM103, an AKG C414 XLS and a Neumann U87 Ai.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eVocals, guitar, drums: a versatile studio microphone\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1973 is a natural fit for vocals and voiceover: a machined resonator inside the body reduces unwanted resonances and adds a degree of plosive protection. Its two pads (-10 and -20 dB) and 140 dB SPL handling also let it sit in front of a guitar amp or a kick drum. Its compact size makes placement easy in tight spots, around a drum kit or close to an acoustic guitar.

In the early 1970s LOMO reworked it with three backplates for greater consistency, and Soyuz then redesigned it as the S23, the capsule used in the 023 Bomblet. It has two 33 mm membranes, one of them gold-sputtered. Unlike the 023 Bomblet and the 017 models, which use a toroidal transformer made by Soyuz, the 1973 uses a transformerless FET circuit, for a detailed, realistic sound that adapts easily to your recording chain. The pad is set with a small switch under the microphone, next to the XLR connector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe 1973 in the Soyuz range\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1973 Deluxe, sold separately, is the same microphone with a handmade oak case, a shock mount and a hard mount; the standard 1973 comes with its mic holder only. The 023 Bomblet shares the same S23 capsule family, but its transformer gives it a thicker low end and more colour, in a longer, heavier body. The 017 FET and 017 TUBE, the top of the range, use a different capsule (S17, 34 mm membrane) and a toroidal transformer.

Turn it up to 10 for the most saturated sound possible, or try subtler settings closer to 0.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e1 XLR Y-cable for 2 possibilities\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn XLR Y-cable is supplied with the DirtBox and gives access to two extra functions:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe first is the ability to capture a clean signal and a distorted signal from a single source.

Both signals are in phase and can be blended to taste;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe second is the ability to use a condenser mic with the DirtBox.

It is a phantom-powered electret microphone whose capsule is fitted with a 1.8 m tube. This tube is sealed and acts as a physical equalizer: it attenuates high and mid frequencies while letting the lows through. Its omnidirectional pattern makes placement easy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA mic dedicated to low frequencies\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Wormhole sounds like listening to someone playing a loud instrument in the next room: the bass comes through, the highs and mids are muffled. On its own, this sound is unusual, but it is when blended with close mics that the Wormhole really comes into its own. Think of it as a subkick mic, but instead of being limited to the kick drum, it captures the whole kit and adds size to the drum sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInspired by Sylvia Massy, with a twist\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Wormhole was inspired by the garden-hose microphone technique developed by engineer Sylvia Massy. If you've never heard of it, plenty of videos explain it very well. The garden-hose method usually creates a unique reverb effect, but the Wormhole has nothing to do with that: it has been repurposed to focus on capturing low frequencies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIdeal on drums\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most common use for this microphone is on drums. Placed on the floor in front of the kit, with the tube coiled around the kick drum and ending under the floor tom, it captures a punchy low end. This sense of impact comes from the kick, the toms and a little from the snare. Used in parallel, the Wormhole gives the whole kit an impressive low end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA few precautions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis microphone is a fairly unique tool, and a few points are worth keeping in mind. Because of its sensitivity to low frequencies, it is recommended for studio use only, not live. It is also best to record only one instrument at a time: for drums or a single amp it is perfect, but if a bass amp, a guitar amp and drums are playing together in the same room, it will pick up the low frequencies of everything in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Wormhole's flexible section is very sensitive to physical contact and can act as a contact mic. This opens up creative sonic possibilities, but if you are using the Wormhole to capture low frequencies, make sure nothing touches or rubs against the tube. You can lay cables over it, but avoid cymbal stands or kick pedals, whose resonance would be picked up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Wormhole comes with its own mount and a hard case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nn7VB0QkUKo?si=u2xZTc5UYzlcUk3U\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DrAlienSmith","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48127072043331,"sku":"DRA000WH1","price":249.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0771\/5615\/5715\/files\/draliensmith-wormhole-819612.png?v=1711842017"},{"product_id":"draliensmith-dirtmic-01","title":"DrAlienSmith DirtMic","description":"\u003ch2\u003eDistortion microphone\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DirtMic-01 is an original take on overdrive and distortion in the studio.

Some manufacturers braid these wires, while others simply wrap them very evenly to protect the inner conductors from interference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Reussen\" double shielding goes much further, in two ways: first, the cable is wrapped not in one but in TWO separate shields; second, the outer shield is wound in the opposite direction to the inner shield. This creates more complete protection against radio interference and can result in a dramatic reduction in noise. \"Reussen\" double shielding is a little more expensive to make, but for those who accept nothing less than the best, it represents the pinnacle of current balanced cable technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePremier vs. Pro\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWarm offers two cable ranges, Premier and Professional, to provide a wide variety of connectors at two price points. Both ranges benefit from Gotham AG's cutting-edge construction for near-perfect signal transfer and come with a lifetime warranty; the Premier range adds gold-plated connectors, four-conductor StarQuad construction for strong EMI rejection, and Double-Reussen shielding for improved RFI rejection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's hard to find a more reliable and transparent cable, and Warm Audio cables don't cost a fortune: these are cables anyone can afford! Compared with other high-end cables with a lifetime warranty, Warm Audio cables cost on average 25 to 35% less.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Warm Audio","offers":[{"title":"0.9m","offer_id":48212781105475,"sku":"PREM-XLRm-TRSm-3'","price":47.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"1.8m","offer_id":48212781138243,"sku":"PREM-XLRm-TRSm-6'","price":53.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0771\/5615\/5715\/files\/warm-audio-premier-series-cable-xlrm-trsm-512885.png?v=1713002097"}],"url":"https:\/\/coolkidsaudio.com\/en\/collections\/studio.oembed?page=8","provider":"Cool Kids Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
