A Microphone.

A Collector’s Piece.
This limited-edition Wax Brass 023 Bomblet Deluxe is a rare collaboration between Soyuz Microphones and legendary artist and musician Serj Tankian, bringing together sound, art, and design into a one-of-a-kind, handcrafted, microphone.
Known as a vocalist, composer, artist, and the unmistakable voice behind System of a Down, Serj Tankian brings his distinct visual language to the 023 Bomblet Deluxe through artwork adapted from one of his paintings and wrapped around the microphone’s midsection. Each mic also includes a high-quality giclée print of the original painting, signed and numbered by Serj himself.
Limited to only 45 microphones worldwide, this special edition pairs the bold, finished sound of the 023 Bomblet with an exclusive wax brass body designed to age naturally over time. Created for artists, engineers, collectors, and fans, it celebrates the connection between sound, visual art, and the objects that carry creative work forward.
Original Artwork by Serj Tankian
Serj’s original painting wraps the microphone’s midsection, giving this limited edition a visual identity all its own.
Each microphone also includes a high-quality giclée print of the artwork, signed and numbered by Serj himself.
A Handcrafted Instrument. Ready to Record.
Each 023 Bomblet Deluxe is handcrafted entirely in-house by our master machinists.
Trusted by artists and engineers around the world, the Bomblet is known for a bold, balanced character that brings weight, color, and depth to every source.
From powerful vocals and roaring guitar cabs to heavy drums, delicate strings, and cinematic textures, it captures each sound with unmistakable quality.
Wax Brass That Tells Your Story
This special edition features an exclusive unlacquered wax brass body designed to evolve over time.
As the microphone is handled, used, and lived with, the brass will naturally develop a gorgeous patina unique to its owner.
Choose to maintain its pristine condition with fresh wax, or let it mature over time, reflecting the legacy of your work and a visual record of the sessions, songs, and moments it helped capture.
No two microphones will age exactly the same.
Soyuz x Serj Tankian
"I love using this mic. It’s perfectly designed. It’s so dynamic, and you can use it on so many different types of productions. "
- Serj Tankian
Soyuz x Serj Tankian
A Natural Match for an Iconic Voice.
Serj Tankian’s music lives in contrast: beauty and aggression, melody and chaos, intimacy and force. His voice can move from quiet and expressive to explosive and commanding in a single phrase.
The 023 Bomblet Deluxe is built for that kind of range. Its thick low end and pronounced midrange give vocals body, weight, and authority, while its smooth, forgiving top end helps keep brighter, more aggressive moments controlled without losing detail.
For an artist whose work moves between the heavy, the theatrical, the intimate, and the orchestral, the Bomblet feels right at home.
