I'm not finding the russian Nevaton website to check the actual spelling in Russian, but I'd guess it is:

NYEV-ah-tuhn or perhaps NYEV-ah-tahn

Nehv-a-tone

St. Petersburg is on the banks of the Neva River.

It's probably nyeh-vah-TOHN by Russian pronunciation. All short vowel sounds, though the o is halfway between short and long. Hard to explain. The river is pronounced nyeh-VAH.

This is correct.  My post is the Dirty South pronunciation... >:D 

My rep says "nehv-a-tone" but the tech (who is Russian) says it "nyeh-va-tohn".

A Ukrainian colleague gave this as his pronunciation too. --->  "nyeh-va-tohn"

Nothing gets stale with me.  I just like slutting it up.

You can hear the exact pronunciation in this interview with Lonya Nenashev from Nevaton- go to 21:27 after the file buffers:

Also some interesting comments about the Nevaton factory in St. Petersburg, which is why I revived this old post.

A matched set of MCE400s is on it's way to my front door, thanks to TNJazz- can't wait to try these out!

My wife is Russian, so I showed her the MC49's on Dirk's website and I asked her how to pronounce "Nevaton"

She said: "There is no way in Hell you're buying another set of microphones, so don't even think about it"

Funny, that didn't sound Russian at all.

And way too many syllables. Not trustworthy, this one.

"nyeh-va-tohn" is right I think, with the accent on the last "o". I'm Russian.
Neva is a river and "ton" is a tone (quite obvious, I know)  :P
