It started as a private capsule tuned for producer MALFA on top of the 023 Bomblet platform, with deliberate shifts aimed at modern, radio-ready mixes - without losing the forgiving character the 023 series is known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA tonal swap without buying a second microphone body\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn engineer running an 023 Bomblet or 017 TUBE\/FET usually faces a choice: buy a second, complete microphone with a different voicing, or live with one tonal character across every session. The shared capsule mount across the 023 and 017 series solves that - unscrewing one capsule and threading in the 023 MALFA takes seconds and unlocks a distinctly different tonal signature while keeping the same body, electronics, and accessories. One microphone body, two capsules in the locker, full tonal flexibility without doubling the gear budget.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePresence lift instead of console EQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA vocal cut on an average capsule often gets buried in a dense mix, forcing an aggressive presence-band boost just to cut through the arrangement. The 023 MALFA solves this in the capsule tuning itself - a gentle lift around 6-7kHz adds articulation to vocals without reaching for EQ, and extended top end above 15kHz gives strings, cymbals, and room sound a natural shimmer. Leaner low-mids keep dense arrangements from turning muddy, cutting the time spent fitting the mic into a busy mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwappable capsule compatible with 023 Bomblet and 017 TUBE\/FET bodies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandmade, gold-sputtered diaphragm, 33mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCardioid polar pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGentle presence lift in the 6-7kHz range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtended top end above 15kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeaner low-mids to reduce mud in dense arrangements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShared, proprietary capsule mount across the 023 and 017 series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-cut, polished backplate and hand-tensioned diaphragm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: swappable FET large-diaphragm capsule\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatibility: 023 Bomblet, 017 TUBE, 017 FET bodies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiaphragm: 33mm (1.29\"), gold-sputtered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolar pattern: cardioid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVoicing: 6-7kHz lift, extended top end above 15kHz, leaner low-mids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum SPL (as fitted to a mic body): 140dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuild: hand-cut and polished backplate, hand-tensioned diaphragm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting: threaded connection matching 023\/017 bodies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplication: vocals, acoustic instruments, drum overheads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Soyuz Microphones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54127358738769,"sku":"60477","price":796.21,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/SoyuzMicrophones023MALFACapsule1.jpg?v=1783082238","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/products\/soyuz-microphones-023-malfa-capsule","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
