Soyuz Microphones' description of the Soyuz Microphones x Atomic Heart 023 Bomblet Limited Edition microphone
ATOMIC HEART, LARGE DIAPHRAGM.
At Soyuz we celebrate artforms across every medium and champion creativity on every platform, so when the opportunity came to collaborate with developers Mundfish and their video game Atomic Heart, we were excited to explore something new!
Atomic Heart is an immersive action-adventure taking place in an alternative version of the 1950’s soviet union. The game follows a protagonist through a world of retro-futuristic visuals and excitement. The game has been praised for its atmosphere and masterful SFX design – with much of the game’s sound and songs recorded using Soyuz Microphones.
The soundtrack is full of texture featuring re-imagined hits of classic pop tracks from the era and hooks that stay with you throughout the day.
As an homage to the midcentury design, we’ve created an extremely limited version of the 023 Bomblet Deluxe in a striking blue finish inspired by the classic colors and aesthetics of that period.
This is the only time a Soyuz microphone has been completely painted and the result is something truly one of a kind.
Each mic comes with a custom matching shockmount, hardmount, and in-line pad along with a free redeemable code for the full game.
There are only a handful of 023 Bomblet Atomic Heart limited editions available.
023 BOMBLET DELUXE.
The Bomblet Deluxe is a limited run of the 023 BOMBLET that comes in a handmade oak suitcase with a custom shockmount and 10 foot cable.
Featuring a distinct blend of color and clarity, the Soyuz 023 BOMBLET condenser is perfect for capturing everything from drums to amplifiers. With its forgiving top-end, smooth midrange, and thick lows, the Bomblet complements the aggressive tonalities of brighter instruments – and vocals – without sacrificing transients or detail.
The Bomblet is one of the easiest microphones in the world to use. Regardless of placement and distance, you can expect a full and balanced sound. Its forgiving nature is what makes it the primary choice for singers looking for a warm, colorful texture without hiding the original tonality.
On louder and bass-heavy sources like electric guitar, kick drum, and bass amp, the Bomblet delivers a tight, full-bodied punch that will capture the low-end extension of your instrument with enough clarity to cut through a dense mix. Its custom transformer imparts a thickness and character that enhances the tone you’ve worked years crafting simply by hitting record.
The engineers at Soyuz have spent decades studying, servicing and building classic microphones; this unique pool of knowledge, craft and skill – combined with the ears of numerous musicians, producers and audio engineers – has culminated in the creation of the Bomblet’s custom S23 capsule. A different design than that of the 017 series, the S23 is Soyuz’ reimagining of Lomo’s Russian version of the CK12 capsule: with its thick low-end, pronounced mid-range, and detailed top end – one that is forgiving and flatters high frequency sources rather than exaggerating them.
