Building on the beloved 023 Bomblet, MALFA collaborated with the Soyuz team to personally modify the 023 capsule, making intentional tuning adjustments targeted for today’s modern, radio-ready mixes. The result is the 023 MALFA, a truly handmade microphone with a gentle presence lift and more forward accent, retaining all the same forgiving character that the 023 Series has become known for. The 023 MALFA is an easy choice for mix-ready pop vocals, acoustic textures, and any source that needs polish without harshness. \r\nThe 023 MALFA is available as a standalone capsule, compatible with current-gen 023 and 017 Series Soyuz large diaphragm microphones.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis exclusive edition is limited to a handful of microphones worldwide.
