A Mic That Tells Your Story
Soyuz sees microphones as more than just tools to capture sound, they are instruments that document history and emotion. The mic’s original aluminum body is upgraded to an unlacquered brass. This noticeably heavier metal is given a light coat of wax that will naturally age and develop a gorgeous patina over time, symbolizing the records and memories you’ve made with the Wax Brass Bomblet by your side.
Choose to maintain its pristine condition with fresh wax, or let it mature over time, reflecting the legacy of your work.
Timeless Design. Timeless Sounds
Beyond its captivating looks, the Wax Brass Bomblet retains the soul of the 023 large diaphragm condenser, a favorite among respected musicians and engineers and known for its versatility and character. The 023 is a studio workhorse that delivers consistent results on every session. Acclaimed for its gentle high-end, rich midrange, and thick lows, the Bomblet is the go-to microphone for artists seeking a warm, yet authentic sound. It excels in handling high SPL and bass-heavy sources with a focused, robust punch that cuts through dense mixes. The Wax Brass Bomblet will easily tame aggressive frequencies on brighter sources without sacrificing transients or details.
From blaring guitar cabs and kick drums to subtle strings and vocals, the Wax Brass Bomblet will capture a spectrum of sounds with unmatched richness and clarity.
Space Age Engineering
Soyuz’s journey is rooted in space exploration. Each Wax Brass Bomblet houses fragments of a Campo del Cielo meteorite melded into its circuitry. At the microphone’s heart is the hand-machined S23 capsule, a Soyuz innovation with a triple backplate design inspired by LOMO’s take on the legendary CK12 capsule. Paired with a custom toroidal transformer, The Wax Brass Bomblet guarantees to deliver a distinct color and unmistakable quality to your recordings.
