THE SILVER 17:
A New Voice for a Timeless Sound
The Silver 17 is a large-diaphragm tube condenser with a refined sense of air, presence, and natural top-end, while retaining the classic, full-bodied character the 017 Series is known for.
Built around the new S17E edge-terminated capsule, it brings a more open, articulate voice to Soyuz’s flagship microphone family.
Available now in the U.S. as a limited Premier Edition exclusively through Sweetwater.
Available worldwide via Pre-Order
Edge Terminated S17E Capsule
A new capsule design that gives the 017 Series a more open, extended voice.
Classic Weight. Modern Reach
The density and body of the 017 family with more air, clarity, and mix-ready articulation.
Presence and Polish
A smooth presence and gentle top-end lift helps vocals, guitars, keys, and other sources feel finished with a musical polish
THE SILVER 17:
Where Weight Meets Air
The Silver 17 is voiced to sound powerful while sitting naturally in a mix.
It carries the same larger-than-life lows and rich midrange of its sibling, the 017 TUBE, but with a greater emphasis on the presence and clarity demanded for modern productions.
The difference begins to shine in the upper range, where the Silver 17 remains open and expressive. Transients stay defined, but never rigid. The smooth lift highlights detail without exaggeration, while the controlled articulation helps vocals, guitars, keys, and other sources come through with less need for post-production sculpting.
The Silver 17 has a balance of density and polish for recordings that feels complete at the source.
Vocals

Rich harmonic body with natural detail and extension.

The Silver 17 officially joins the Soyuz flagship lineup July 7th
INSPIRED BY CLASSICS. BUILT AS AN ORIGINAL.
At the heart of the Silver 17 is the S17E: a newly developed edge-terminated version of Soyuz’s original S17 capsule. It is hand-machined, gold-sputtered 34mm design, built entirely in-house.
The original S17 was influenced by K67 geometry, the architecture behind some of the most recorded large-diaphragm condensers in history, and serves as the base of the 017 Series’ dense low-end and midrange.
For the Silver 17, our engineers built on that foundation, drawing inspiration from mics like the LOMO 19A18, a rare Soviet-era gem often compared to a C12 and prized for its airiness and top-end response.
This hybrid approach led to a complete redesign of the capsule with new acoustic resistance, new backplate mechanics, and new diaphragm tensioning. With no center screw, there is no obstruction to the diaphragm’s most sensitive area.
The result is a capsule that responds more freely, giving the Silver 17 a smooth balance of color and excitement across the spectrum.

How The Silver 17 Fits Into The 017 Series:
017 TUBE
Classic. Lush. Three-Dimensional
The original flagship voice of the 017 Series. Full-bodied lows, and rich through the mids, with a smooth top end that flatters vocals, acoustic instruments, and sources that need size, depth, and warmth.
SILVER 17
Density and Air
The Silver 17 keeps the body and richness of the 017 family, then adds a more open upper range with gentle lift in presence, air, and articulation. It is forward without edge, polished without sounding hyped, and ideal when a source needs a finishing touch.
017 FET
Smooth. Rich. Detail.
The 017 FET shares the same capsule and rich tonal foundation as the 017 TUBE, but with a faster, punchier response in a transformer-balanced solid-state design. Focused, flexible, and flattering across any source.
