Description
Nevaton MC 59 – Exceptionally small condenser microphone with interchangeable capsules
A new exceptionally small microphone with interchangeable capsules, which features a full-fledged class A amplifier from high-quality selected discrete elements using film capacitors.
Very low self noise (4 dBA to 7dBa, depending on the directional characteristic) coupled with high SPL handling (up to 152dB) and a very linear frequency response.
Its 22 mm capsule has a flat frequency response and a dynamic range of 135 dB. The MC 59’s excellent impulse response captures the subject’s finest details without colouration and its gold-sputtered, ultra-thin transducers pass and artificial ageing process to ensure life-long stability.
The microphone has an RFI-Filter and is therefor immune against radio frequency interference.
Ideal for recordings in opera houses, concert halls, theatres and studios.
Currently four different interchangeable capsules are available:
- cardioid
- wide cardioid
- omnidirectional
- hypercardioid (shotgun)
–> Find more infos about the various capsules here
The microphone body (preamp) is available in four versions:
- Version “XLR” – features an integrated 3-pin XLRM-type connector, directly on the mic-body.
- Version “XLR-E” – features an integrated 3-pin XLRM-type connector, directly on the mic-body.
Extended functionality: -10dB switch & a switchable low cut at 100Hz (6dB/Oct) - Version “S” – super-small & super-light, with a deducted connector – 3-pin XLR-type on cable.
- Version “S-E” – super-small & super-light, with a deducted connector – 3-pin XLR-type on cable.
Extended functionality: -10dB switch & a switchable low cut at 100Hz (6dB/Oct)Note – the length of the “S” or “S-E” output cable can be exactly customised to your exact needs (up to 200 meters).
Up to 10 meters, the cable & customisation is for free
Please add the info about cable-length in the “ORDER NOTES” field during check-out.
The microphone comes in a comfortable carrier case, either for single mics, or for matched pairs.
