Boutique Microphone Manufacturer Sees Success With Exclusive Finish Limited Runs

In 2021, Soyuz introduced the world to a limited edition version of the renowned 017 Series microphone with an exclusive Brass Black finish. The 25 units quickly sold out and prompted Soyuz to continue the series with the release of the 023 Brass Black in May 2022. Soyuz Microphones now released a new batch of 017 Series Brass Black microphones. This limited edition run of 80 microphones (40 TUBE / 40 FET) uses a unique process called bluing to give the mic's body its beautiful hue and patina.
