The MC50-Quad is a fantastic dual-capsule large-diaphragm condenser with four separate outputs (one XLR-out for each of the four diaphragms). When used in stereo-mode infinitely directional patterns can be achieved – from omnidirectional, to wide cardioid, to cardioid, to hyper-cardioid, to figure-8 or any intermediate pattern! It can record surround or can be used for various stereo-recording techniques like XY-stereo, Blumlein, or (Double)-MS. The Nevaton MC50 features two large diaphragm capsules with four membranes at the same spot. This guarantees a perfect quad-stereo-mono compatibility and avoids common interference problems when used for Surround-Sound 5.1! On top of that it has one of the lowest self-noise figures on the market and features heated capsules (so it can be used with temperatures reaching down to -30 degrees!). Russian technology at its finest!

The result is a circuit design which provides a high dynamic range of 138 dB, with an extraordinarily low self-noise of 4dBA! This makes the MC50 a microphone with one of the lowest self-noise figures on the market! To set this new standards was only possible, because of the availability of highest quality military-grade components (made in Russia) and technicians which spent years for research and tests.
The current consumption of the amplifier is used to heat the capsules, which makes it possible to use the MC50 in extreme climate conditions, like very high humidity, or temperatures of down to – 30 degrees!
The MC50-Quad has a transformerless circuit design, with no electrolytic capacitors in the audio path. The impedance circuitry is comprised of matched ultra-low-noise transistors, film capacitors, and "military grade" resistors. The microphone has four separate circuits, one for each capsule diaphragm.
The Nevaton MC 50 QUAD has a 2-position low-cut filter (linear, 70Hz) and a -10dB switch. Both are under the mic-body, which can be easily removed to access the switches.
