Soyuz 023 Bomblet Mic Review / Test (Compare to TLM103, U87 Ai, NT1)
CORRECTION: Does come with 5/8" to 3/8" Adapter. Today I review a studio condenser microphone from Soyuz, the SU-023 Bomblet. This mic has an extremely smooth top end, and a “gooey” mid range. The low end is also very controlled while having a nice amount of weight to it. This is a unique, more vintage sounding microphone that is hand made in Russia.
