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.

Key Features:

• Like the original 800-style mic, the WA-8000 includes all the features that deliver a complete and professional recording experience.
• Using an all-brass, custom K67-style capsule coupled with the original circuit design, the WA-8000 captures every subtle nuance of vocal and acoustic performances.
• The WA-8000 uses a NOS tube to match the tonal character of the original - known for consistent performance without overheating.
• The WA-8000 uses a custom-made transformer from Lundahl Sweden, delivering unmatched top-end and detail that listeners quickly recognize when selecting the WA-8000 to capture a performance.
• Capture focused lead vocals & instruments with the cardioid pattern, or set the WA-8000 to omnidirectional mode to capture room tones, reflections, background vocals, and much more.
