- 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!
You're one of my favorite people on the planet 😍
Please do another episode, it's an awesome series and your work and dedication to mics it's great =)
Fantastic!
Thank you so much for sharing this amazing collection of mics and knowledge :) these episodes are a treat!
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.
You look amazing!
Oh my recordings are adventures alright. Like a bear attack. Seriously, this was informative, really enjoyed this...hope there are more in this series.
Excellent Sylvia! Thank you!
These Mic Du Jour videos are amazing! please do more :)
Sylvia, please continue this series!
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!
LOL that mic at 2:38 is an absolute unit.
Very nice Sylvia
Your smile looks amazing Sylvia ;)
Professor Silvia, you never cease to amaze me and keep my interest throughout.

Buenísimo, muchas gracias por compartir tu conocimiento, es muy interesante entender como funcionaba ese tipo de tecnología, en mi caso me despierta la creatividad para seguir experimentando desde la captura del audio, 👌👏👏
I love this girl 😍
She could have a career on asmr
YES.
My workhorse mics are now ribbon mics. Now I'm building a ribbon mic from scratch.
Nice, u look great . Thanks
I like the sound of it. Must be good on vocals.
very mid-dy...but something special for sure!
My hero 🤘🏻

5:24 I'm sure Behringer is working on their copy.
Livin' the life... I'm jealous!🤘🤪
Purfect ASMR mic :)
Are these permanent members of your amazing collection? They're too cool either way ^.^
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?)?
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.
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.
most badass engineer ever 🙌
your someone after my own heart,,
girlfriend we kno"
So what happened to all the mics that fell off your car?😮😢😅
The amount of good and bad news that these mics transmitted is historical. Makes one wonder if mic's inhabit any paranormal mojo?
I love her pectoral majors!
Dammit Sylvia... you're SOOO cute
I love u
:)
Bitch u cray ❤️

Interesting, I guess cheap (although they probably weren't that cheap) clones in the microphone world are nothing new.
HORRIBLE SOUND...
My telephone sounds better...
"That sounds pretty good". Well, in my ears it sounds like nothing!
