MC420

Common name: Nevaton MC420

Production Status: Discontinued / Vintage

The MC420 is a large diaphragm single pattern condenser microphone equipped with the same capsule found in the MC51. It is available in cardioid, wide cardioid, omnidirectional or figure of eight polar patterns. The capsule has an ultra-thin 24 mm gold-sputtered diaphragm and undergoes a special artificial ageing process to guarantee long term stability. The heated capsule allows operation in extreme climatic conditions, with humidity or low temperatures, down to – 30 degrees celsius. The capsule is internally shock-mounted. The microphone body is made of brass with a non reflective dark grey finish on an epoxy base to guarantee durability and a 3 layer metallic grille protects the capsules from electrical and atmospheric interference and contamination from microscopic dust particles. It has a 70 Hz and 120 Hz low cut filter. It is ideal for vocals and acoustic instruments recordings. Stereo matched pairs are available. Includes wooden box.
