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.
