Canada

As indicated by the crown design on the baffle, this model of microphone was used on the Royal Tour of 1939 by CBC announcers and commentators. These microphones were also used by CBC war correspondents during the Second World War.

Function

Convert sound into an electrical current that can be amplified, recorded or transmitted over a communication channel.

Technical

The 633A is a dynamic microphone that, when mounted horizontally with the baffle attached over the mouthpiece, provides a degree of directionality well suited for use by a radio announcer. That is, it responds more strongly to sounds coming from the announcer's position than to sounds from other directions. A verticall mounting without the baffle produces a more omnidirectional response.
