Branding

According to David Arthur Brown the name Soyuz, meaning Union in Russian was chosen in order to emphasise the collaborative nature of combining Russian engineering with Western marketing expertise, in particular reference to the joint Apollo–Soyuz project, and the former name of the Soviet Union.[4] Initially it was planned to name the company Baikal Microphones, in reference to the clarity of Lake Baikal. However, this was dropped after its similarity with the Guangdong based Enping Baikal Audio Equipment Company was noted. Nonetheless, the company remains legally incorporated with this earlier name.

In 2020, the company launched a subsidiary brand named Tula Mics, producing a consumer oriented USB microphone.[5]

Design

Influenced by the metalworking heritage of the city of Tula, Soyuz Microphones draw inspiration from Soviet and Russian design traditions, combining the functional engineered minimalism of the Soviet space program as well as the opulence and transcendence of traditional Russian architecture.[6][7]
