  • This episode of Mic Du Jour reveals the Western Electric 618-A microphone, and why it is so important in history. Host Sylvia Massy describes the events that lead to the success of the WE 618, lets us listen to the mic and shows us all the mic's imitators... but there is nothing better than the real thing!

    Interesting, I guess cheap (although they probably weren't that cheap) clones in the microphone world are nothing new.

    My workhorse mics are now ribbon mics. Now I'm building a ribbon mic from scratch.

    Would love to hear these early mics through pre's of the period,or at least tube pre's with low impedance input.I run my 618 through a GT Vipre at lowest impedance and the reach and bloom and frequency range all improves markedly.Having said that,love the show Sylvia!

    I kinda wish I was born just a mere decade earlier. I don't think I would ever have a chance with such a cool person. But I'd sure try my heart out. It has nothing to do with her accomplishments, but intelligence and passion. Simply awe inspiring.

    The amount of good and bad news that these mics transmitted is historical. Makes one wonder if mic's inhabit any paranormal mojo?

  • @effsixteenblock50

    So were polar patterns even a thing back then? Was there a null zone at the very back? What did you have to do to connect to the pre (XLR didn't exist yet?)?

    • @shawnwaldrop4462
      @shawnwaldrop4462 4 года назад

      Polar patterns may not have been a topic of interest, but a pattern still could be plotted based on the spatial response. As for the XLR question, you just solder on a connector. The principle of having an audio signal and a reference ground would still apply.

    • @samnicholson5051
      @samnicholson5051 2 года назад

      Polar patterns were a thing. These mics were omnidirectional (omnis are still quite directional when it comes to high frequencies) but the first ribbon mic, that was released 9 months after this one, the RCA 44 was bidirectional, and the RCA 77A that came on the market in 1933 was unidirectional.
