Hello!

Who We Are

The story of NV-TONE began in 2015 with the idea of bringing the authentic sound of acoustic and classical guitars into the digital era. The goal was simple: to capture the warm, natural tone of the guitar in a way that could be easily used for both home and studio recordings, as well as live performances, preserving the true essence of the instrument.

Founded by Vitalii Zhivotovskyi, who was passionate about developing microphones to capture the unique sound of guitars, NV-TONE was created with the support of his friend and talented guitar luthier Yurii Papkov. At the time, Vitalii was working as a lawyer, while Yurii was employed in a music store. Together, they embarked on this journey, determined to create a product that would resonate with guitarists.

Their first invention was a simple pickup that required refinement. They tested it extensively, gathered feedback from musicians, and constantly improved the design. In 2017, they achieved a breakthrough with the release of the MicMe microphone, which quickly gained popularity among musicians for its quality and simplicity.

Our Journey

From the very beginning, NV-TONE’s mission was to create a microphone that met the needs of both professionals and passionate hobbyists—compact, affordable, and high-quality.

As the product line evolved, musicians around the world began to take notice of NV-TONE, and the brand’s microphones became popular among renowned artists who supported the second version of the microphone with the NV TONE Model Duo preamp.

By 2021, NV-TONE introduced a new line of microphones designed to deliver the cleanest and brightest sound possible. This line was accessible to musicians of all levels and included settings tailored to various instruments, ease of use, and affordability. The optimized frequency response significantly enhanced sound quality, making these microphones versatile for home, stage, and studio recordings.

Our Commitment to Musicians

From 2021 to 2024, NV-TONE received consistently positive feedback from users.

In 2024, after extensive testing, the brand patented a new guitar-safe mounting system, improved the frequency balance to reduce feedback, and added a 5-meter (16.4-foot) cable to give musicians greater flexibility. With trademark registration in the U.S. and internationally, NV-TONE remains dedicated to supporting musicians worldwide.

NV-TONE released the new NV TONE Swan microphone, which is now available for worldwide shipping from its U.S. warehouse.

6. Safe Mounting System: Soft inserts ensure secure and safe attachment without damaging the guitar.
7. Minimal Feedback: We’ve minimized feedback to ensure the clearest sound possible.
