History

Origins in LOMO

The origins of Nevaton can be traced back to 1947, when an acoustic laboratory was established within the Leningrad Optical and Mechanical Association ([LOMO]) in what is now Saint Petersburg, Russia. The lab became part of the newly formed scientific-industrial association EKRAN in 1954. For several decades, the laboratory focused on the research and development of microphones used in the Soviet film and broadcast industries.

One of the most renowned microphones developed during this era was the LOMO 19A19, which remains a sought-after vintage model among collectors and engineers.
