Warm Audio WA-8000 - Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone
The Warm Audio WA-8000 is a large diaphragm tube condenser microphone that is based on the famous Sony C800G. The WA 8000 is easily recognisable by its open top end, crystal clear midrange and uncanny ability to capture every detail of acoustic sources. While most commonly known for modern R&B, Rap, and Hip-hop, the WA-8000 gives you that unmistakable “airy” and polished sound associated with some of the most hi-fidelity recordings of the 90’s and beyond. While vocals and voiceover work may immediately come to mind, the WA-8000 also makes an incredible room microphone for sessions demanding an unparalleled level of detail.
The WA-8000 features a custom K-67 inspired all-brass capsule, Lundahl Sweden transformer, NOS 6AU6 tube and the most premium 7-pin cable solution from Gotham Switzerland.
