What is Certified Open Box Gear?
At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call "Certified Open Box" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.
Certified Open Box (also known as a demo) means we’ve had it out of the box for our YouTube channel, displayed at events, tested in our studio, or maybe it was in a customer’s hands for a few days and isn’t ‘factory fresh’ as a result. Every Certified Open Box item we sell has Sweetwater’s 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty and has been tested and verified up to ‘new’ specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it’s in perfect working order before we ship it to you.
When you buy a Certified Open Box item at Sweetwater, you get:
- 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
- Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
- FREE shipping on most items
- Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Reviews
"THAT" sound!
The bottom end is nothing short of astounding, really. This is now my go to front of kick mic and I think I may have to go an get another one since it sounds EVEN BETTER on floor tom. This IS the floor tom sound I've been looking for forever.
Check out my video for a history on Soyuz as well as some in studio demos of the mic on a bunch of sources and comparisons to other Soyuz mics.
Wonderful microphone
Fantastic Mic!
Soyuz 1973
Definitely a keeper!
Wonderful little mic with huge sound
Built like a tank. I've never been a fan of sterile hifi sounding mics and this little boy gives me exactly what I needed – not boomy lows, focused mids and smooth but articulate highs. My de-esers have a lot less work now (a relief after TLM 102). Paired with some good preamp the 1973 sounds just right and you don't need a lot of processing and surgical interventions afterwards.
Highly recommended for engineers looking for a mic with a beautiful vintage character on a budget.
