Soyuz 023

The 023 is a large-diaphragm FET condenser that leans into a forward, present sound, particularly in the upper-mid frequencies. It is designed to add a distinct, professional character to vocals and instruments, making it a great choice if you want your recordings to cut through a mix.

Yes, the Soyuz 023 requires standard 48V phantom power to operate. Ensure your audio interface or preamp is capable of providing this before connecting.

Absolutely. The microphone is built to handle high sound pressure levels up to 140 dB, and it includes a -20 dB attenuator pad specifically for managing loud sources without distortion.

It features a fixed cardioid polar pattern, which is the industry standard for most studio applications. This means it is most sensitive to sound directly in front of the capsule and rejects sound from the rear, helping you isolate your source and minimize room noise.

Yes, its versatility makes it an excellent workhorse for home studios. Because it captures detail so clearly, it works well for everything from vocals and acoustic guitars to percussion, provided you have a decent-sounding room to record in.

The microphone ships with a dedicated microphone clip for mounting, a -20 dB attenuator for high-volume recording, and a protective wooden case to keep the mic safe when not in use.
