About This Listing

Overview

Introducing the WA-8000 tube condenser microphone. The inspiration for Warm's latest release is a highly sought-after and revered design of the early 1990s. The WA-8000 lives up to the sonic legacy that continues to foster die-hard fans to this day. Boasting a natural, open top end, supremely clear midrange, and the ability to render detail in a vocal performance unlike most other mics on the planet, let alone in this price range. Engineered true to spec, the WA-8000 meets all of the critical specifications of the original, giving you the true sound of modern R&B and hip hop for an unprecedented value.

Product Overview
Warm Audio's take on the high-end Sony C800G, the WA-8000 offers everything today's leading pop stars, R&B singers, and rappers love about the C800G. Made with premium components, the WA-8000 offers natural top-end, clear midrange, and full-bodied lows. The heat sink at the back of the mic lets heat from the tube escape, keeping noise away from the capsule. Perfectly suited for all vocalists and any instrument, the WA-8000 may just be the one do-it-all mic you need in your personal recording setup. All that, and it still comes in at a fraction of the price of the original.
