Soyuz 023 MALFA DELUXE FET Condenser Mic

Expand the sound of your 023 and 017 Series Soyuz mics with the 023 MALFA Capsule. The 023 MALFA Capsule is a once-private collaboration now available to the rest of the world. Building on the beloved 023 Bomblet, the producer MALFA collaborated with our team to personally modify the 023 capsule, making intentional tuning adjustments for today’s modern, radio-ready mixes. The result is a truly handmade capsule with a gentle presence lift, and airy extension, retaining all the same forgiving character that the 023 Series has become known for.

The 023 Malfa Capsule is easily swapped and threaded onto any current-gen 023 or 017 Series mic body to deliver a slightly brighter, more forward accent - perfect for mix-ready pop vocals, acoustic textures, and any source that needs polish without harshness.

Features:

Like its sibling, the 023 Bomblet, the023 Malfa Capsuleblends a warm texture with unmistakable Soyuz character. The 023 Malfa tuned for:

Gentle Presence Lift (6–7 kHz)– Adds articulation so vocals sit on top of a mix.

Extended “Air” Above 15 kHz– Gives strings, cymbals, and ambience an effortless shimmer.

Lean Low-Mids– Keeps body intact while preventing mud in dense arrangements.

The Malfa’s articulate mids and natural “air” help vocals, acoustic instruments, and overheads cut through dense arrangements - no surgical EQ required

Regardless of placement or distance, the 023 MALFA capsule delivers a full, balanced sound that flatters the source instead of exaggerating it. Spend less time finding the sweet spot and more time recording inspired performances.

Where MAlfA shines:

- Lead vocals that must sparkle and stay intelligible
- Acoustic guitar, mandolin, banjo, or strings that need to cut through layered mixes
- Drum overheads or room mics when you want cymbal detail without biting edges
- Voice-over, podcast, or broadcast work where clarity counts
- Any source that felt a touch too dark or veiled with the Bomblet capsule
