Warm Audio WA-8000G Ltd.

The WA-8000 is a tribute to a very special large diaphragm tube condenser microphone that has been featured on countless platinum recordings from the early 90s to the present day. The sound of this microphone has delivered hits for artists ranging from Dr. Dre, Mariah Carey, Boyz II Men and Brian McKnight to Eminem, Rihanna, Drake and others. The original was characterized by a natural and open top end, extremely clear mids and the ability to reproduce detail in a vocal performance that few other microphones on the planet can. The WA-8000 rises to the challenge and delivers all that top end, beat for beat, at a price that will mesmerize you.

The WA-8000 is easily recognizable by its open highs, crystal clear mids and uncanny ability to capture every detail of acoustic sources. Although the WA-8000 is best known for modern R&B, rap and hip-hop, it delivers the distinctive "airy" and polished sound associated with some of the best hi-fi recordings of the 90s and beyond. However, the WA-8000 also makes an excellent room microphone for sessions where an unparalleled level of detail is required. The WA-8000 is not just a microphone for rap/hip-hop and R&B, but a true studio microphone that can record any voice or acoustic instrument with first-class results.
