    The Soyuz Microphones 023 BOMBLET microphone, aka “The Bomblet”, is the latest addition to the Soyuz family. The large diaphragm condenser microphone comes complete with a wooden box and mic holder. As all Soyuz microphones, the Soyuz 023 BOMBLET is completely handmade in their Russian factory.

      Soyuz Microphones 023 BOMBLET Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone

      Based around the capsule of the famous Soviet era LOMO 19a21 and joined with the gorgeous design and craftsmanship of Soyuz Microphones, the new Soyuz 023 BOMBLET is a remarkable sounding large diaphragm condenser microphone for the modern age. Stunning open and rich top end makes it perfect for pop, R&B and soul productions while maintaining controlled sibilants and presence. 100% handmade in the Soyuz factory in Russia, the 023 BOMBLET offers unmatched performance and value.

      The 023 BOMBLET’s features a unique character that originates from the triple back plate system which is unlike any other capsule in production. The circuit is designed around the original schematic by Soyuz’ own electronics engineer, Valery Nikolaevich. The transformer uses a special toroidal core from a source in the Urals and is wound at the Soyuz factory south of Moscow.

      The Silver Standard

      With The Bomblet, Soyuz has traded their signature cream and brass for a combination of polished and brushed aluminium, thus eliminating the need for lacquering and painting. That, along with the use of a circuit board instead of point-to-point wiring and a mounting ring instead of a shock mount, has allowed Soyuz to offer a lower price point without sacrificing quality.

      A Capsule’s Tale

      As is the case with most condenser mics, the real magic resides in the capsule. The capsule used in The Bomblet is based on the LOMO 19A21 which was developed in 1972 and put into production in 1974. LOMO based their capsule design on the AKG CK12, but instead of using two electrodes, LOMO used a single electrode and two “Filters.” They essentially created a triple back plate capsule which eliminated the need for non-through holes, thus increasing the consistency between capsules.

      Soyuz has further developed the capsule, modifying how it is assembled and tuned. The result, when paired with Soyuz’s original schematic, is a rich, full sound which is not overly hyped in the high frequencies and has a very pleasant midrange.
