The Nevaton MC 48 is a multi-pattern, large-dual-diaphragm stereo condenser microphone with transformerless class-A electronics. It produces an incredible spatial representation and can be used as a main microphone for orchestra recordings, for chamber ensembles, pop concerts, for instruments such as guitar and drums as well as for ambient field recordings. It is well suited for applications in radio and television broadcasting as well as for live concerts and studio sound production. The microphone has excellent transient response, very low self-noise of less than 12dBA and sound pressure level of 13 dB. The two large 25-mm diaphragms, placed one above the other, can be simultaneously rotated to provide variable stereo width from 50°up to a maximum of 140°. The ultra-thin and gold-coated diaphragms are made of Poly-Ethylene-Tereftalate-film and give the MC 47 the brilliant and transparent sound it is famous for. All components of the capsules have passed a special artificial aging process to guarantee the stability of their parameters. The internal construction is elastically mounted to attenuate vibrations and handling noise. Additionally the capsules are fixed on special dampers to further reduce mechanical noise.
