A MODERN TUNING OF A CLASSIC FET

The 023 MALFA Mic is a once-private collaboration with hit-making producer  MALFA, now released to the world in a strictly limited run. Building on the beloved 023 Bomblet, MALFA collaborated with our 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.

This exclusive edition is limited to a handful of microphones worldwide. The 023 MALFA features a satin-black mid-section with the Malfa capsule and logo in the deluxe set, including a handcrafted oak suitcase, custom shockmount and hardmount, and mic cable.

The 023 MALFA is an easy choice for mix-ready pop vocals, acoustic textures, and any source that needs polish without harshness.

The 023 Malfa is available as a standalone capsule, compatible with current gen 023 and 017 Series Soyuz large diaphragm microphones.

COLOR MEETS CLARITY

Like its sibling, the 023 Bomblet, the 023 Malfa blends a warm texture with unmistakable Soyuz detail

• 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, keys, and overheads cut through dense arrangements - no surgical EQ required

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

HANDCRAFTED WITHOUT COMPROMISE

The 023 Malfa Capsule, like every other Soyuz microphone, is an original design brought to life by our master machinists and engineers. Every capsule backplate, stainless screw, and gold-sputtered diaphragm is cut, polished, and tensioned by hand to deliver an instrument you can rely on for decades and many sessions to come.
