Soyuz 023 Malfa Large-Diaphragm Condenser Capsule - Modern-Tuned Versatility
The Soyuz 023 Malfa Capsule is a limited-edition, handcrafted large-diaphragm condenser capsule designed for Soyuz 023 and 017 Series microphones. Developed in collaboration with hit-making producer MALFA, it enhances the 023 Bomblet’s design with a gentle 6–7 kHz presence lift and extended “air” above 15 kHz, delivering a brighter, more forward sound for modern, radio-ready mixes. With a cardioid polar pattern, 140 dB max SPL, and lean low-mids, this capsule excels in capturing vocals, acoustic instruments, and drum overheads with clarity and polish, no surgical EQ required.
Modern-Tuned Capsule for Mix-Ready Sound
The 023 Malfa Capsule refines the 023 Bomblet’s warm, forgiving character with a tailored frequency response: a 6–7 kHz presence lift enhances vocal articulation, extended highs above 15 kHz add shimmer to strings and cymbals, and lean low-mids ensure clarity in dense arrangements. Its 30 Hz–18 kHz range and 140 dB max SPL make it ideal for pop vocals, acoustic guitars, keys, voice-overs, and drum overheads, delivering balanced sound with minimal placement fuss.
Seamless Compatibility and Versatility
Designed for tool-less swapping on any current-generation Soyuz 023 or 017 Series microphone body, the 023 Malfa Capsule offers instant tonal upgrades. Its cardioid polar pattern provides focused sound capture with excellent off-axis rejection, making it perfect for studio and broadcast applications where clarity is critical. The capsule’s forgiving nature complements sources that need polish without harshness, enhancing workflow efficiency.
Handcrafted Russian Craftsmanship
Every 023 Malfa Capsule is meticulously handcrafted in Russia, with gold-sputtered 33mm diaphragms, manually machined backplates, and stainless screws, ensuring durability for decades of use. This original Soyuz design, born from MALFA’s collaboration, delivers a unique blend of vintage warmth and modern clarity, making it a reliable choice for professional recording sessions.
