HISTORY OF NEVATON
Microphone Manufacturer, since 1947
The roots of Nevaton reach back to the year 1947 when an acoustic laboratory was established at the Leningrad optical and mechanical association (LOMO). Some years later, 1954, the laboratory joined the newly formed scientific and industrial association named EKRAN.
This research laboratory designed legendary microphones like the LOMO 19A19, which today is one of the most wanted valve-mics from the former USSR.

Many famous film and sound production studios were regular clients of Nevaton, including Lenfilm, Mosfilm, Mariinsky Theatre, St. Petersburg Philharmonic, and the Moscow New Opera. Through extensive research and quality upgrades, Nevaton kept up with the most sophisticated and demanding sound needs.
The Nevaton production featured a top of the range acoustic laboratory, including one of Europe`s biggest anechoic chambers as well as a small, specialized manufactory where each microphone was hand-assembled and individually tuned by highly skilled engineers and craftsman.
High-end stereo microphones like the MC47, MC48, followed, as well as multi-pattern large diaphragm condenser microphones like the MC51, MC416, MC404 and small diaphragm condensers like the MC49, firmly establishing Nevaton as a producer of premium microphones known for their outstanding technical specifications
Over half a century of engineering experience in crafting top-class microphones has naturally culminated in the development of advanced multichannel microphones like the Nevaton BPT, Nevaton MC50 or Nevaton VR and the modular microphone system MC59, setting new benchmarks in microphone construction.
In the year 2024 Nevaton moved development, research, production, service & support to Siegendorf, a beautiful village in the district of Burgenland, around 60km from Vienna.
