Nevaton is a
Russian manufacturer of
microphones. The roots of Nevaton go 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.
Until 1987 this laboratory made research and designed
legendary microphones like the LOMO 19A19 which is today one of
the most wanted valve mics from the former USSR. In the year
1991 a new company emerged out of these structures - Nevaton LTD
enterprise The company was found by LOMO engineers as a new and
independent microphone manufacturer and research laboratory for
high-end audio transmitter.
Today the Nevaton homebase in St. Petersburg features a top
of the range acoustic laboratory, including one of Europe's
biggest anechoic chambers as well as a small specialized factory
where each microphone is hand assembled and individually tuned
by highly skilled engineers and craftsman. On average only 15
units leave the factory each month.
Nevaton is producing all parts for their microphones
themselves, from gold-sputtered diaphragms to brass housings, to
guarantee the highest possible quality.
Most of them are already pre-ordered, as Nevaton is supplying
their microphones mainly for the domestic market. The famous
filmstudios of
Lenfilm,
Mosfilm, theatres and opera houses like the
Mariinsky Theatre,
St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra, Moscow New Opera, TV
and radio stations are Nevaton's regular customers as well as
major sound-production studios.
Through extensive quality management during the last years
Nevaton could reach and keep a very high manufacturing standard.
Nevaton microphones are tuned and measured with Brόel & Kjζr
equipment and are run through several testing routines before
they are delivered to the customers.
Nevaton's product catalogue includes stereo microphones,
small diaphragm condenser mics, middle and large diaphragm
condensers, tube microphones, boundary layer- and shotgun
microphones and high quality miniature microphones.
