With its signature color and clarity, the Soyuz 023 BOMBLET is a very versatile condenser microphone. With its smooth midrange and pronounced bass, it calms aggressive tones, such as certain vocals, without compromising transient response.
All Terrain
The Bomblet is one of the easiest to use microphones available. Regardless of its placement and distance from the source, it provides full, balanced sound. Its indulgence makes it the first choice for singers seeking a warm, colorful texture. On sources with higher volume and significant bass, such as electric guitar, kick drum and bass amplifier, the Bomblet delivers a fast sound that captures the instrument's low-frequency extension. It has enough clarity and speed to make the take stand out in a dense mix. Its custom transformer gives a slight harmonic saturation which brings density.
A high-end, homemade design
Soyuz engineers have spent decades studying, repairing and building renowned microphones. Their know-how combined with a team of passionate sound engineers and musicians resulted in the creation of the S23 capsule found in the Bomblet. A different design from the 017 series, the S23 capsule is inspired by the Russian version of the famous CK12 capsule from Lomo. It produces thick bass, pronounced mids and detailed highs.
