Nevaton MC47 Large Dual-Diaphragm Stereo Condenser Microphone

MC47
Large Dual-Diaphragm Stereo Condenser Microphone
The Nevaton MC47 is a large dual-diaphragm stereo condenser microphone
with transformerless Class 'A' electronics. It functions in both Mono and
Stereo mode with a variable stereo width from 0° to 90°. The MC47 is a
solid choice for speech in mono-mode, male/female vocals, voice over, and
postproduction. It also performs exceptionally when recording acoustic
instruments such as cello, acoustic guitar and mandolin. Nevaton’s MC47
can be used as a main microphone for recording orchestras, chamber
ensembles, or pop concerts and can be used effectively for ambient field
recordings. It is also well suited for applications in radio and television
broadcasting. The microphone has an excellent transient response, very
low self-noise of 12dBA, and sound pressure level of 135dB. The two large
25mm diaphragms can both be summed up to mono, which doubles the
output level without effecting the self-noise. The ultra-thin and gold-coated
diaphragms are made of 3-micron polyethylene-terephtalate film and give
the MC47 a brilliant, transparent sound. All capsule components have
passed a special artificial aging process to guarantee long-term stability.
The internal construction is elastically mounted to attenuate vibrations
and reduce handling noise. Additionally, the capsules are fixed on special
dampers to further reduce mechanical noise.

A small LED indicates the presence of 48V phantom power and confirms front position. All input
transistors pass a special selection process to guarantee minimal self-noise. The microphone body is
made of brass with a dark gray non-reflective paint finish on an epoxy base. A 3-layer metallic grille
effectively protects the transducers from electrical and atmospheric interference and contamination
from microscopic dust particles. A gold-plated 5-pin XLR connector in the base mates with the
breakout cable (dual 3-pin XLR connectors). Each Nevaton microphone is supplied with a printout
of its individual frequency response, and comes with an output cable in a fine hardwood box. An
isolation clip is also provided.
